Help! Recipe Suggestion Needed...

[Carissidy]

I am doing a show this Saturday and have yet to come up with a recipe I am satisfied with. My hostess and the majority of her guests are diabetic... Any recipe suggestions? Or has anyone done this before with a successful recipe? I guess I am just looking for a bit of wisdom and experience here...

My MIL makes sugar free pudding, w/SF graham crackers, and SF cool whip and layers it in the trifle bowl. Its delish and no one knows its SF! You can add fruit if you wish. I love it!

Do you have the "It's Good for You" cookbook? If so, you can loan it to her and have her pick a recipe that would be good for her.

For other recipes, maybe Club House Chicken Squares or a Veggie Pizza. That would be on the healthier side.

You can always ask if someone in your cluster has it so you can borrow it. Might be a good seller at your show too.

Just watch sugar and carbs Angela...anything heavy in pastas or breads will throw a diabetic off.

I used this recipe for at least five parties to give folks a sugar free choice.
It comes from the Kraft Foods website back in April 2005. They said that it met the guidelines of The South Beach Diet. FRUITY PANNA COTTA
Prep time 10 minutes, setting time 3 hr. You could make it ahead, and do a dry run demo and take home the one you make at the party. 1 - Container of 32 oz. plain nonfat yogurt or lofat is okay. 1 - 8 serving size pack. Jell-O brand Strawberry flavor sugar free low calorie gelatin. (I have used Raspberry) or (1 small pkg. of orange, and 1 small pkg of peach) which give a nice peachy color and can be decorated with canned Light peach slices. 1 cup sliced strawberries after you have set it in your refrigerator.

If no one at the party has a problem with Light Cool Whip, use your Easy Accent Decorator to decorate around the outter edge. It gives you one more item to demo.

I stirred this up in my Classic Batter Bowl, microwaved on HIGH for 3 minutes, and then poured into our Deep Dish Pie dish which I had sprayed with Oil from my Kitchen Spritzer. It sets up pretty well in time to use at the party, if you get there an hour before the party, and do it right away. Let the hostess help so she can put her hands on some tools. I used my Mix and scraper to serve it, after cutting it. Everyone wanted the recipe. Even my grandson and neighbors' teen aged daughter wanted the recipe.

Good luck with your efforts. I'd appreciate your posting the recipe you do use, and let us know how successful it was. I have had several guests say they wished PC would come out with a Cookbook for Diabetics.

I like to do the starwberry spinach salad w/ sugar substitute. I have a very good diabetic host and she loves this one!

Angela,
Well, I can help you on this one. The main "enemy" of the diabetic diet is carbs. I am diabetic, so I know all about it!
Anyway, we used to have a wonderful dip recipe, in the Celebrate cookbook, called "Hot Artichoke Crabmeat Dip" that was awesome, and very low in carbs. It tasted like a garlicky, cheesy dip.
For current shows, however, I would totally recommend the new Cheeseburger Salad from our upcoming selling season! It's yummy, and also very low in carbs, as the bread is served alongside of the dish. The only real "carbs" come from the little bit of ketchup, as well as the tomatoes, but they are pretty insignificant!!
Hope that helps you!

Blessings,
Paula
