Pumpkin Hummus Dip - 20.3g Carbs, 5.6g Fiber, 3.9g Sugar

From: http://cf.diethood.com
When you think of pumpkin, you probably think of pies, muffins, even lattes. In other words, you think of pumpkin as something sweet. A dessert of sorts. Allow me to introduce you to the other side of pumpkin. Pumpkin puree with chickpeas, yogurt, and parmesan cheese. And lime juice. And garlic. All put through your food processor and done in 5 minutes. Cut up some dipping veggies.
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 5 min
Makes: 2 cups

2 garlic cloves
1 (16 oz can) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1 cup 100% pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
⅓ cup plain yogurt, unsweetened
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 small limes, juiced
Salt and pepper, to taste

1.    Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it's minced.
2.    Add in the garbanzo beans and process until the beans are coarsely pureed.
3.    Pour in the pumpkin puree, yogurt and shredded parmesan cheese and give it a whirl, just enough to mix it all together.
4.    Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper and process until well incorporated.
5.    Taste for seasoning and see if you want to add more salt, pepper, or even lime juice.
6.    Serve with vegetables and/or crackers.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Low Fat Diabetic New Orleans Shrimp Creole - 23g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 12g Sugars

 

While there is arguable value in not using any oil in this recipe, you really can't "saute" all those vegetables in white wine, let alone in 1/4 cup of it.  The vegetables will shed water in the process, so you are really just boiling the vegetables.  I thought we were past this obsession with zero fat recipes. 

Serving it with rice just obviates the value for diabetics.

Also, okra is not traditional in shrimp creole.  It is in gumbo.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Spaghetti Squash Lasagna - 21g Carbs, 2.7g Fiber

 

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna - 21g Carbs, 2.7g Fiber

From: Skinnytaste.com
Strands of roasted spaghetti squash are layered with marinara sauce, mozzarella and ricotta cheese, then baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and all the flavors bake together. Naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.

A wonderful way to prepare spaghetti squash, a winter squash that resembles strands of spaghetti when cooked. The flavor is nothing like pasta, but it has a mild taste that is wonderful with sauces you would normally eat over pasta. Technically this is not a lasagna since there is no pasta in this dish, but layered just as you would a lasagna in individual sized oven safe casseroles which are perfect for portion control. If you don't have personal sized casseroles, you can make one larger one in an 8 x 8 baking dish.

This recipe calls for cooked spaghetti squash. I prefer to roast spaghetti squash, which is really simple to do, you can do this the day before and store the squash in the refrigerator or  you can make it in the microwave if you need it quick. Once cooked, simply use a fork to separate the strands. I always have a jar of my quick marinara sauce on hand, which comes in handy to whip up quick weeknight meals.
Servings: 4

2 cups marinara sauce
3 cups cooked roasted spaghetti squash
1 cup part skim ricotta
8 tsp parmesan cheese
6 oz part skim shredded mozzarella (I used Sargento)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In four individual 5 x 7-inch oven safe baking dishes, ladle 1/4 cup quick marinara sauce on the bottom of each dish. Top each with 3/4 cup of cooked spaghetti squash and spread evenly. Top each with 1/4 cup ricotta.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese and .75 oz mozzarella on each.  Add the remaining sauce, parmesan and mozzarella cheese.  

Cover with foil and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges begin to bubble; uncover and cook an additional 5 minutes.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Hot Spinach and Kale Dip - 15g Carbs, 2g Fiber

 

 Hot Spinach and Kale Dip - 15g Carbs, 2g Fiber

From: www.diabeticconnect.com - By Abbey Sue
For those leafy green beginners out there, you will hardly taste the spinach and kale hidden in this rich and tasty dish. Dip with chopped veggies for a low-carb snack.

1 tsp olive oil
1 onions (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 cups spinach (coarsely chopped)
1 cup kale (coarsely chopped)
1/2 cup corn
1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese
3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Sriracha (or hot-pepper sauce)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt
Pepper

If making on the same day, preheat oven to 425 degree F. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, approx. 5-8 minutes.

Add spinach and kale in two additions, letting the first batch wilt down before adding the next. Add corn and cook until greens are completely wilted, tossing frequently, approx. 6-8 minutes. To remove all excess liquid, transfer to a colander and drain. (If you are making this in advance, simply allow the spinach and kale mixture to cook before transferring to an airtight container and refrigerate.)

Bring milk to a simmer. Add cream cheese and cook, whisking, until melted and well incorporated. Add the spinach and kale mixture, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, and 1/4 cup mozzarella. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a lightly oiled shallow baking dish. Top with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Bake until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. Serve hot.
