Giveaway: The Create-Your-Plate Diabetes Cookbook by Toby Amidor

Everyone has a busy schedule and we all want to make healthy meals for ourselves and family. But, sometimes we create the same old dishes and get stuck in a rut. That is why I love flipping through cookbooks, all kinds of cookbooks. And, for friends with dietary issues, like diabetes, I like to research and offer easy nutritionally-rich meals and snacks without any worry. That is why I love this cookbook, it has great ideas, tips and examples for delicious healthy recipes from breakfast to soups, to side dishes, main dishes and more!

In THE CREATE-YOUR-PLATE DIABETES COOKBOOK, best-selling cookbook author Toby Amidor demonstrates how to build perfectly-portioned meals with a healthy balance of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates with nothing more than a dinner plate.

Each recipe in this book was designed by the author to meet the nutrition guidelines of the American Diabetes Association, so we can create meals with confidence knowing we are preparing flavorful and nutritious meals.

The Create-Your-Plate Cookbook includes 125 mix-and-match recipes to choose from, full of great ideas for easy, delicious meals the whole family will enjoy, like:

Avocado Toast with Turkey Bacon
Mediterranean Stuffed Pitas
Cinnamon Roasted Nuts
Roasted Salmon with Chimichurri Sauce (see below for recipe)
Sheet-Pan Chicken with Artichokes and Onions
Weeknight Vegetable Stir Fry

Other resources in this book include: a step-by-step guide to using the Diabetes Plate Method to plan perfectly-portioned, diabetes-friendly meals; an introduction to cooking and eating well to manage diabetes and support heart health; and a one-week meal plan including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, plus over 15 additional sample plates.

What is the Diabetes Plate Method? The Diabetes Plate Method is a guide/formula to fill half your plate (an 8-12 inch plate, depending on caloric needs) with non starchy vegetables, one quarter of your plate with lean protein, and the remaining quarter with whole grain or starchy carbohydrate foods including fruit, low-fat dairy and healthy fats.
