The Everything Guide to Cooking for Children with Diabetes: From Everyday Meals to Holiday Treats

by Moira McCarthy, Leslie Young

Overview

All parents want their children to eat well—but for children with diabetes, eating well is not just a preference, it’s a requisite. When to eat, what to eat, and how much to eat are critical considerations—all day, every day. But with a little knowledge and planning, you can whip up meals that are as good for your child as they are good to eat, including:

• Ultimate Grilled Cheeseburger Sandwich
• Multigrain Pancakes and Vanilla Smoothies
• Baked Potato Chips and Creamy Spicy Dip
• Taco Salad
• Grilled Ranch Chicken
• Lobster Salad
• Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse

With this cookbook, you can meet the dietary challenges of diabetes with delicious—and doable—meals. From bag lunches and after-school snacks to birthday treats and holiday feasts, children with diabetes can enjoy mealtime as much as kids everywhere—every day of the year!
