Grilled Honey-Lime Chicken

This is simple, grilled chicken gets a tangy and slightly sweet flavor from a honey-lime marinade. Pair with a vegetable that you can throw on the grill with it, like this simple Grilled Sesame Asparagus. If you don't want to grill, you could cook the chicken on your stovetop or bake it in the oven. Make a double batch and save the leftovers to add to a wrap or salad for lunch the next day.

Chicken Joes

OK, so time for a confession. While we always had home-cooked meals, we also always had a can of Sloppy Joe mix tucked into the corner of the pantry for when we got lazy. Knowing now that processed foods are not healthy, I developed these Chicken Joes that are much more diabetes-friendly with all the same taste of the sloppy Joes of childhood. With extra vegetables, this version makes the grade.

This recipe from The With or Without Meat Cookbook, 2nd edition, by Jackie Newgent. To order directly from the American Diabetes Association

Sicilian Olive Salad

This cracked olive medley is a family favorite that is popular both in Calabria and Sicily. Sicilian Castelvetrano olives are becoming readily available in major supermarkets now, and if you have access to those, they are a great choice for this salad. Many Italian-American delis sell “Sicilian Colossal” olives, which also work well. You can toss a few tablespoons of this mixture into hot pasta in the winter, or chilled rice or quinoa in warner weather. It's also a great way to dress up ordinary vegetables, seafood, and meat. This recipe comes from The Mediterranean Diabetes Cookbook.
