I had come to the site quiet a long time ago, but only found the recipe finder when I came back recently, the "Diabetes & me" that allows you to save the recipes is amazing, and I have tried some of the recipes and OH MY!!!! awesome!!!
I probably mentioned this in another post (my brain is mushed up with medication plus some neurological impairments) but a couple of months ago I was told I was half way down to kidney failure, so I had to change radically the way I was eating.
I went for no sugar, no salt, minimum carbs and avoiding processed stuff. It was hard but in a month I was able to get my blood levels lower . Luckily both my daughter and I love cooking, I organized the kitchen so it would need as little movement as possible and I tried a few recipes, including a banana bread that meant I could have a sweet treat without feeling guilty!!!!
I have some photos but not sure they will be too big to post here, I should look in the forum guidelines, or turn the other Mac where I have an ancient version of PSE to reduce the sizes
but these are the recipes I tried, some of them I made some changes, very small ones but they all were fabulous, apart from the carrot cake which, probably because it was last night and I was already tired..
here are the ones I tried :

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-t...rtugaise-with-boiled-new-potatoes--side-salad
https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/recipes/carrot-kugel

Do you guys use the Recipe Finder? any recipes you have tried and can suggest?
we love fish, chicken too but we ate so much a few months ago, am pacing it, we like red meat but try to keep it to a minimum, also cook a lot with quorn, and there is very little we don't like...
Also if you have any slow cooker recipes, would love some suggestions!
I have some recipes I adapted to low carb from north east Brazil marvelous recipes, also have a few recipes of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food if you are interested, can put something together to share with you 🙂
Anyone uses Pinterest or Instagram?
I just fully entered the 21st century: bought a mobile (smart kind!) phone!!!! I spent the past 5 or 6 years resisting them as I found I didn't need one being most of the time home with the computer, so discovering Instagram and finding amazing food bloggers there, but I find it much easier here with the Recipe Finder... any suggestions welcome!!!!
