Veggie Burgers & Hamburger Alternatives

Veggie Burgers & Hamburger Alternatives / Craving a burger? Eat a veggie burger instead, they're better for you. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect ''grillable' veggie burger...I haven't found it yet!
Italian / Pasta Recipes
33 Pins
Italian / Pasta Recipes / Because I crave pasta. A lot! Don't believe the myth that pasta is bad for diabetics, it's untrue. I eat pasta a couple of times a week and my A1C numbers keep going lower, not higher. These Italian dishes look delish.
Southern (Aren't you precious.)
5 Pins
Southern (Aren't you precious.) / Traditional and Southern-inspired Cuisine. Is there such thing as healthy Southern cooking? I don't think so.
Soups 'n Stews
14 Pins
Soups 'n Stews / Soups (and especially hearty stews) are a weekly staple in my diet. A healthy homemade soup can usually be whipped up in under an hour they help me to eat more veggies. BONUS: Since soups have relatively few calories per gram, I can eat a TON of it.

Lentil Recipes
5 Pins
Lentil Recipes / I eat a TON of Lentils so I thought they deserved their own board.

They also help you to control your blood sugar levels if you're diabetic.
Mushrooms! Mushrooms!
