[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Easy Vegetarian Recipes for Senior Mom?

 

Hello! My mother is 77years old and just got her blood tests back. They alarmed me.. she has high blood pressure (on meds for that) and
her Glucose/Serum is 97 (65-99 reference interval)
so, pre-diabetic right?
Her hemoglobin ALc is 6.2 (4.8-5.6 reference interval)
CHolesterol is 283 (100-199 reference interval)

She doesn't cook (just was never one of those moms, and I don't either), she's a vegetarian (Im vegan) and to be honest I have NO IDEA what to tell her to eat. We are at a loss.. sure, a salad of lunch. Steamed veggies for dinner but if this is a lifestyle change she needs some foods she will enjoy or she will just fall right back into this or worse. Does anyone have any advice on easy and good tasting ideas for her to try to prepare?we do have whole foods near us so i can send her there with a shopping list... thank you so much! Simone
