I have never used sugar substitutes when baking (I'd rather have a small piece) but I do know about diabetic company since my sister (who has lived with me for year and a half in between the hospital, miraculously surviving her many horrific illnesses - meningitis and 2 bouts of endocarditis) battles diabetis 'big time'. 45 carbs/meal is what we aim for and what her insulin covers. Forgetting desserts, the recipes posted here are based on seasonal and mostly a Mediterranean diet, which is what we eat ... heavy on vegetables, fish, lean meat and chicken. When serving dessert, offer SMALL portions of fresh fruit (which also counts as carbs) as an alternative. Diabetics can eat very well and MUST (Exercise is also key to maintaining good blood sugar levels.) The time is now for your dear husband to watch his diet. (There are many wonderful sites for diet and menus). I lost my brother to this dreaded disease and have wrapped my arms around my sister, helping her control hers. Big hugs ... do have a wonderful time with your guests. I'll be anxious to hear ...<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it was delicious, Wildlife ... a perfect summer dessert.<BR/><BR/>Brenda ... the photo is how I love to spend 'The Remains of the Day', watching the sunset in my gazebo here at the lake. Indeed I do cook all of these recipes and love to entertain family & friends. I post easy and seasonal food that flies out of the kitchen (often teased that if an emergency arises, many will flood my doorstep). Since the cottage will be filled for the holiday, tonight my kitchen is humming ... 2 cashew crusted zucchini pies, 2 mushroom/ artichoke crustless quiches, and 2 dozen spinach & feta egg muffins (I'm writing and cooking). I should photograph my food but ...joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569378877717221045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36141650.post-61947798916463178262008-07-02T17:02:00.000-04:002008-07-02T17:02:00.000-04:00Lovely "remains of the day."

The company that I have coming, one is a diabetic and we have just found out hubby's sugar is high also and needs to get it down with diet. So, all of your wondeful recipes-can I use a sugar substitute? I don't have much experience cooking like this. Thankfully, you can use a lot of low-fat etcs. now, but I know with sugar it can be tricky. I just love coming here and drooling!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.com
