Delicious, wholesome foods are the cornerstone of this cookbook. When Lois Soneral was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, she set out to make her renowned recipes low in sugar, fat, and cholesterol but comparable in their original taste. With ease of preparation and simple modifications, Soneral re-created her family favorites: Spicy Turkey Roast, Pineapple-Glazed Yams, Hash Brown Potato Casserole, Pumpkin Chiffon Pie, and Impossible Pecan Date Pie. These practical and delicious recipes prove that people with Type II diabetes don't have to miss out on anything, even desserts, casseroles, and snacks. Savory foods like Sweet and Sour Green Beans, Chicken Broccoli Casserole, and Barbecue Beef Bake include the necessary nutritional content without compromising flavor. Some of the highlights of this cookbook are Soneral's own Scandinavian specialties: Danish Rhubarb Dessert, Swedish Fruit Soup, and Meatballs Scandinavian-Style. And, the other breads, muffins, cakes, cookies, salads, meats, and spreads demonstrate that creative cooking can add variety and spice to any diet, as well as being healthy.
