My nutritionist told me about the cookbook Quick & Easy Diabetic Recipes for One." The recipes don't make you feel like you need to eat more. They put in your mind that you have eaten enought for one meal, and that is what I like.

I thought that I would really like this book, but I found that once I started to go through the recipes there were not many that I would use. Might be my palate... but it is now sitting unused as a coaster.

The second edition of Kathleen Stanley, CDE, RD, LD, MSED, BC-ADM and Connie Craealey, MS, RD, LD's QUICK AND EASY DIABETIC RECIPES FOR ONE packs in over a hundred recipes featuring soups, stews and side dishes all for the single diabetic who finds the typical cookbook packed with meals for families a challenge. Chapters offer individual quiches, casseroles, soups, salads and more, and are packed with dishes quick and easy to prepare at home.

I ordered this book for a friend, who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She loved it so much that I ordered one for myself (and I'm not diabetic) and she ordered another copy for her brother! Since many older adults deal with diabetes and many of them cook for just one person, this book helps to make a significant life change easier to manage. Older people often have many reasons not to cook for themselves, relying on fast foods when they need to change old habits and eat more healthfully. The recipes are easy and tempting making this guide truly useful for seniors and others who live alone...diabetic or not. Change can be fun and tasty too!

I purchased this gift for my sister..she is a single person w/ Type 2 diabetes. She was so excited to see the things that she could make as a single person. Things that sounded good to her taste buds. Thank you!

If you are alone and need to cook for one - diabetic or not - this is a
good book to have, gives you great recipes for just you and it is not hard
to double up if you are having company over.

I found this book very helpful. I'm sure I will be using it often.

I've been suckered into getting a lot of cookbooks that call for ingredients that I would not give to my dog. In fact, the dog wouldn't even eat some of the "healthy, yummy, tasty, etc." leftovers from some books.

Every recipie I have made in this book tastes good, helps me to control my diabetes, and actually looks so good my husband (who isn't diabetic) asks if he can have some. You can easily double the recipies for another person, or use the "leftovers" for a great lunch. No muss, no fuss cooking that doesn't make you turn your kitchen into a restaurant.

I wish there were more books like this. (The only one that is close so far is Snack Nibble Nosh...by Ruth Glick, if you want to buy a 2nd book & get 2x as many great recipies!)
