Company’s Coming diabetic cooking, product overview

When my mother was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (25 years ago) there weren’t many recipes available for diabetics.

We were ecstatic when Jean Pare came out with this “Company’s Coming diabetic cooking” cookbook.

My mother and I enjoyed all the Company’s Coming collection so it was obvious we would each buy a copy.

I wasn’t diabetic but on the occasions that my mother visited I wanted to feed her diabetic-friendly food.

I was excited to try my very first recipe and discovered it was tasty enough for all of us to eat, that was an unexpected yet welcome bonus.

After my mother passed away I had stuffed that cookbook in the back of a shelf and forgot about it.

When my grandson was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes last June I dug out that cookbook as well as finding new ones.

These recipes are just as good as I remembered.

Add two large spoonfuls of hot pudding into egg product in a small bowl. Mix well. Whisk into cocoa mixture until smooth. Heat for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent skin from forming. Let stand until cooled to room temperature.

Beat topping with the second amount of cocoa in a medium bowl until stiff.

Arrange 1/2 of graham crackers in a single layer in a 9 x 9(22 x22 cm)pan. Cut to fit if necessary. Whisk pudding to make smooth. Spread 1/2 of pudding mixture on crackers and spread evenly. Spread 1/2 of the whipped topping mixture on pudding. Cover with a single layer of remaining crackers, remaining pudding, and topping. Cover with plastic wrap for 24 hours to allow crackers to soften completely.

Just before serving, sift cocoa over top. For a more decorative look, place doily over the top of the dessert, then sift with cocoa. Carefully lift and remove doily and excess cocoa. Cuts into 16 pieces.

Conclusion

I absolutely love this cookbook. My only regret is having put it away for so long.

The recipes are easy to follow and so delicious the whole family will love eating them. They won’t even realize they are eating healthy.

There is such a wide variety of tastes, textures, and colors it is wonderful. You can put together an entire meal fit for the company by just using this cookbook.

The best part is that if one of those guests happens to be Diabetic they will be able to safely eat every part of that meal.

Since the book offers all the necessary nutrition information about every recipe it will be easy to count carbs for correct insulin dosage.

In my opinion, it can’t get any easier.

Order your copy today, you won’t be disappointed.
