Any recipe that has been posted s eligible for tagging. The recipes you tag do not have to be in the specific category for "Diabetic" nor do they have to have "lower in sugar, starches...etc". We have learned to be a creative bunch and this month we will be tagging and making over our fall favorites.

How to Play:

i.e. = Andi icon_arrow.gif Paula's Recipe xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx

3) Make the recipe within the month time period, but we will keep the thread open a couple of days beyond the end of the month in case you want to finish a last minute recipe up.

4) Post your review to the recipe page, and picture if you have taken one.

5) Report back to this thread that you have made and reviewed the recipe you tagged, including the recipe name, recipe number, posting chefs name. Post the photo too, as we love seeing your photos and this just makes adds to the fun.

Happy holidays all! I made a very delicious dip the other day.

Salmon and Cream Cheese Dip by JoyfulCook



I used Neufchatel Cream Cheese and a can of Alaskan Wild Red Salmon. Served it with nut chips, lentil crackers and crisp apple slices. A wonderful dip or spread for any part season.

[Andi of Longmeadow Farm]

Well, here I am! I went to a gathering last nite and made some lovely, easy, diabetic friendly treats/appies! People goobled them up and didn't even know they were diabetic friendly!

Thank you Ms. Andi. I might add it is also delicious spread on a slice of toast for breakfast.

Ngood mornin. Wanted to let you all know that I will be in Destin, FL for a few days. I'll try to check in daily but fun in the sun is calling.

[Andi of Longmeadow Farm]

Fun in the sun sounds great, Paula! Have fun!

I can't tag, as we're going away on holiday, but I wondered if I may add a few easy low-carb recipes?? As Paula knows, I go the low-carb route, but not to excess. So if these do not fit in with the thread, please delete!!

Cream Cheese Snacks Rolled in Nori Leaves
Simple Sliced Tomato-And-Cheese Side Dish
Omelet Pizza
Fried Ricotta Patties With Tomato Salad

All are very low-carb, and can fit in with most meals. People differ -- what you eat as a diabetic depends on your metabolic type and the meds you are using. Personally, a low-carb diet high in protein, and with lots of veggies works well for me.

I have many more low-carb recipes, but it's late here and I'm getting sleepy!

Oh boy, Zuri! These are terrific! And people do follow low/carb, or lower carbs as way to reduce carb intake! These are wonderful, and will try these too! Thanks for the post! Have a good sleep!

Zurie, thank you for popping in and thank you for your suggestions. Should you want to make a recipe or 2 we would love to have you join the fun.
