Swordfish with Roasted Lemons - 9g Carbs, Trace Fiber
From: www.mayoclinic.com
Dietitian's tip: Instead of lemon butter, this fish is served with
roasted lemon or lime wedges for a cleaner, lighter taste.
Note: The Food and Drug Administration recommends that women who might
become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers and children younger
than age 5 should avoid eating swordfish because it may contain high
levels of mercury and other toxins. Substitutes for swordfish include
halibut, mahi-mahi, sea bass, cod, snapper or other firm-textured fish.
Serves: 4
2 lemons, quartered, seeds removed
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp sea salt
4 swordfish fillets, each 6 ounces
1/2 tsp canola oil
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, add the lemon wedges, sugar and salt. Toss gently
to coat evenly. Place the lemons in a shallow baking dish and cover
with aluminum foil. Roast until soft and slightly browned, about
1 hour.
Preheat the broiler (grill). Position the rack 4 inches from the heat
source. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
Place the swordfish fillets in the prepared baking pan. Brush with
canola oil and top with garlic. Broil (grill) until the fish is
opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 5 minutes
on each side.
Transfer the fish to individual plates. Squeeze 1 roasted lemon over
each fillet and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with another roasted
lemon wedge on the side.

Savory Egg, Ham, and Cheese Crepes - 9g Carbs, 1g Fiber
From: The South Beach Diet - Phase 2
If a wheat or gluten allergy won't usually allow you to enjoy crepes, then
this delicious breakfast dish is for you! Chickpea flour a nonwheat, gluten-free flour made from ground dried chickpeas creates filling,
protein- and iron-rich crepes that are just as tasty as they are nutritious.
Look for the flour in your health food store. If you have some fresh herbs
on hand, add a chopped tablespoon or two just before rolling up the crepes.
Serves: 4
--> Crepe Batter
1/3 cup chickpea flour
1/3 cup 1 percent milk
1 Tbsp PLUS 1 1/2 tsp warm water
1 large egg
1 Tbsp PLUS 1 1/2 tsp canola oil
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
--> Crepes
2 tsp canola oil, divided
4 (1-oz) slices low-fat, low-sodium boiled or smoked ham (not honey glazed)
4 (3/4-oz) slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
--> For the crepe batter
Puree flour, milk, water, egg, oil, salt, and pepper in a blender until
smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
--> For the crepes
Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan
over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the batter, tilting the pan so
that batter forms a thin layer. Cook until edges begin to brown, about
1 minute. Carefully flip the crepe over and cook until golden on the
bottom, about 1 more minute. Transfer crepe, golden-side down, to a
plate. Without adding any additional oil, repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes, to make all 4 crepes.
Lay each crepe, golden-side down, on a serving plate. Top each with 1 ham
slice and 1 cheese slice.
Season eggs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining oil in a nonstick skillet
over medium-high heat. Add eggs and stir occasionally until set, about 2 minutes. Divide eggs among prepared crepes, roll up, and serve.

of curry and preventive health value of organic turmeric.
If you lack some of the spices for the Curry Blend, just use 1 tsp of
prepared curry powder and 1 tsp of turmeric.
Serve with coconut, basmati, or jasmine rice and spinach sauteed with
garlic, onions, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Servings: 2
2 tsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp butter

1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 tsp honey (or raw/brown sugar)
8 oz Alaska Weathervane scallops
Place the olive oil and butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and cook for about 5 minutes. Don't allow the
shallots to brown.
When the shallots are translucent add the flour and stir gently with a
whisk until the flour is well blended. Add the wine, milk, salt, pepper,
Curry Blend spices (turmeric, cayenne, ginger, cumin, cinnamon), saffron,
lemon zest and honey.
Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook the sauce gently for 10 to
15 minutes. Whisk the sauce frequently and after it begins to thicken

Re: [Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Olive Garden Seafood Pasta Chowder - 29g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber
You can find plenty of recipes for Newburg sauce on the internet, just Google it. Most likely the recipe was referring to Knorr brand Newburg sauce as it's the only packaged brand I'm aware of. It is a very classic sauce for shellfish such as crab, shrimp, lobster, and scallops.
