Ironically, all who convey requested to a greater extent than recipes on the spider web log convey expressed that they don't desire "diabetes friendly," recipes - which is 1 of the reasons that they similar my nutrient posts.

And I totally operate that. 

Personally, I don't gear upwards out to brand "diabetes friendly," recipes - I gear upwards out to brand foods I'm interested inward eating - many of those meals are salubrious - together with some, non together with thence much. 

But every bit long every bit I'm beingness honest, I've been known to cite to my cooking every bit "cookabetes," 

because: 

 1.The soul cooking these meals,(me,) has diabetes 

2. You all know how much I dig a proficient diabetes play on words.

Anyway, here's a recipe for a actually tasty roasted asparagus salad.
