Top 20 Recipes of 2019
For our first full year of the Diabetes Food Hub, we saw a number of cooking and recipe trends that ended up on this list. First, we had no idea just how popular breakfast recipes would be. Second, a lot of people have Instant Pots and air fryers and are looking for appliance-friendly recipes. And finally, there's a neverending demand for the basics—healthy and diabetes-friendly versions of classic recipes. Fortunately, Diabetes Food Hub had plenty of each. So without further ado, here are the Top 20 Recipes of 2019. Did we mention that breakfast was a popular category? This low-carb breakfast

Tips for Shopping at International Markets
Getting Over Barriers to International Shopping If the thought of shopping at a market with unfamiliar foods feels overwhelming, consider it a chance to meet new people and try new things. For example, if you see an interesting item in the produce section, see if any other shoppers are also purchasing the item and ask them about it. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but many shoppers will be more than happy to tell you about their favorite ways to cook certain foods. If that puts you too far out of your comfort zone, you can always use your smart phone to look up items. Some translation apps
Simple Chicken Stirfry
The classic stir-fry recipe is the perfect way to make a healthy, diabetes-friendly and low-carb meal from whatever you might have in the fridge or pantry. Heat up a little oil in a skillet (a wok is great, but any skillet will do), throw in some protein and vegetables, and stir. Our version uses chicken as a base, but strips of beef, pork, or tofu will work just as well. Stir-fry vegetable mixes are available at most grocery stores, but there are a number of fresh or frozen vegetables that will work perfectly here—broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers, and baby corn especially.

Fried Egg And Avocado Sandwiches
Cookbook author and meal planning guru Aviva Goldfarb says, "Recently I became obsessed with making the perfect fried egg sandwich, asking everyone for their ideal recipe. Ultimately, I settled on this delectable combination but you might also enjoy adding steamed spinach, roasted peppers, mayonnaise, tapenade, or bacon. We used cheddar and jalapeño bread from the farmer’s market, but assuming you can’t find that, you can use sourdough, challah, French bread, even English muffins."
Low Carb Veggie Fried Rice Bowl
This flavor-filled fried rice is a meal-in-one dish with a lean meat and mostly vegetables! “Riced” cauliflower is added instead of rice to keep this dish lower in carbs but in higher in fiber. You can use any leftover protein and vegetables you have on hand. You can make your own riced cauliflower in a food processor or by grating or mincing a head of cauliflower by hand. Or, look for riced cauliflower in the freezer or produce aisle.
Light And Fluffy Spinach And Cheese Strata
Author Aviva Goldfarb: "It took me a few attempts, but I finally made the strata of my dreams. In case you aren’t familiar with it, strata is an Italian baked egg and bread dish. This is a great dish to serve at a brunch, especially because you can make it in advance, but it also makes a nice change for a family dinner. Serve with blueberries or blackberries."
