Finding Recipe Inspirations
If you or a family member have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you may be wracking your brain, trying to come up with delicious, healthy meals. Instead of getting frustrated, how about investing in some cookbooks? Now, while there are cookbooks written and specifically for people with type 2 diabetes, there are many general cookbooks that have recipes that are flavor powerhouses and still conform to your new needs. In fact, they are filled with dishes everyone will enjoy. Here are several from both categories:
Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa
