Sausage, Mushroom & Spinach Lasagna

Since I found out that I had diabetes I have been reading a lot about the disease and quite frankly a lot of the articles are “doom and gloom”.   I am not saying you should not take the disease seriously, you should; it is serious!

But what I have found is an attitude that if you have diabetes you must be on your death bed.  I am nowhere near there believe me.   Sure I have to watch what I eat, be aware of carbohydrates and sugars in my diet, take my medicine as instructed and get plenty of exercise, but it is not the end of the world and for me it is not because of what I ate but rather heredity.  Yes I am overweight and this has contributed to the disease but the chances are pretty good even if I were skinny I would have the disease sometime in my lifetime.

Paula and Diabetes

I watched the Today show this morning with Paula Deen.   And I was impressed with really how open she was, and how right.

It is not what I eat, but how much of it I have eaten over the years that has caused my Type 2 diabetes.  You can’t expect to eat high fat, sugary foods at every meal and throughout the day and not expect consequences.  It will happen eventually.

If you have watched Paula at all in the last few years you will notice a slight change in her recipes, not enough to lose the taste, but enough to make a difference.  And before you ask…No I can’t name one specific recipe to back me up.

Chicken Noodle Soup-Paula Deen

Nothing says comfort like a good Chicken Noodle Soup on a cold winters day.  When it comes to Chicken Noodle Soup I don’t think calories, carbs or anything but how good it tastes and feels as it goes down.

I remember when I was a kid my Mom would always give me Chicken Noodle Soup when I had a cold or even when I came out of the cold, it warmed me right up and made me feel better.  It is a comfort food!  Much like chocolate!

Controlling Diabetes

What is Diabetes and how do you go about Controlling Diabetes?

When you have diabetes there is too much sugar in your blood. After you eat, your food is broken down into a sugar called glucose, which is carried by your blood to cells throughout your body. Insulin, a hormone, helps the glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it is burned as energy to keep your body functioning. People with diabetes either don’t make enough insulin or their cells don’t recognize insulin. The result in both cases is that glucose in the bloodstream can’t get into cells to be used for energy, and instead builds up in the blood.

Standing Rib Roast

One of my all time favorite meals is Standing Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream.  For some reason I only make it once or twice a year, and never around holiday time because everyone in the family either wants Turkey or Ham.

Fondue Mystery Solved

One of the most significant unsolved secrets from the kitchen area may be the fondue cooking pot.Fondue cooking pots undoubtedly are a common wedding registry pieces and they’re frequently given as house warming presents. However by the time the thank you cards have already been delivered, the fondue cooking pot has typically vanished not to be seen  again. They end up at the back of a cabinet or even in the attic room or some are even re-gifted. How come everybody desire a fondue cooking pot but nobody actually will get close to to creating fondue?

Pumpkin-Walnut Cake

I love the fall time, the colors turning on the leaves, the crispness in the air and just the overall feel of the season.

Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays are right around the corner so it is time to start planning our Christmas treats. Pumpkins, cranberries, turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and for our family all the Polish and Irish goodies that come with our traditional holiday celebrations.

Do you remember as a child waking up on a holiday morning to the smell of pumpkin pie baking? The cinnamon smell throughout the house signaled a special day. Close your eyes and the smell will come back!

Beer Barbeque Sauce

Labor Day, the end of the summer cookouts, so they say.   I like to cook out all year even in the winter months.  I just move my grill in the gargage, keep the gargage door open a couple of inches to take out any smoke and I barbeque.  Everything taste better if you barbeque.

I like to use this sauce on ribs, hamburgers, and even steak if I am in the mood.  Of course I always save some of the beer for drinking while cooking.  Barbeque all year round keeps those of us in the northern climates from going crazy with the cold weather…you should try it this year.  Don’t just do it in the Summer..all year round.
