Diabetic Diet Menu


By Denchi Minh

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day for any living person. An average person eats breakfast in order to supply the energy he or she needs to go to work or school. Preparing for this meal of the day is a tough job for someone who is diabetic. A tasteful meal is hard to achieve when one is critical of their blood sugar.

People who have been diagnosed with diabetes fear of having to eat foods that would increase their blood sugar. Most restaurants and food experts would give out food samples that are "good for you" but are rather tasteless or bitter. Upon reading a variety of books that feature diabetic diet menu, I have discovered recipes that taste great! These recipes are not only good tasting but are also good for anyone who are diabetic.

This is a simple diabetic diet menu that involves just 20 minutes of your time to prepare. The ingredients for the Light Denver omelette are as follows:

• Canola cooking spray
• 1 medium green pepper (chopped)
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 4 green onions sliced diagonally
• ¼ tablespoon dried basil
• ½ cup water
• 3 ounces of lean ham
• ½ tomatoes
• ½ cup egg substitute
• 2 eggs, separated

To cook this diabetic diet menu first coat the medium non-stick frying pan with canola cooking spray and set the flame at over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, basil, green pepper and green onions. Stir fry for about 30 seconds and then add the ½ cup of water. Keep stirring until tender then add the tomatoes and cook for another minute to get the heat through the vegetables.

Blend the egg substitute and egg yolk in a bowl and set it aside for a while. With the use of a mixer, beat the egg yolks until firm. Pour the egg white unto the egg yolk mixture.

Once again coat a non-stick omelette or a small non-stick frying pan with canola cooking spray and put the flame just above medium - low heat. Spread half of the egg mixture unto the pan. Heat the mixture for about 2 minutes or when the top looks firm already. Please take note that if your frying pan cooks hotter than normal, place the flame just over low heat. Flip the omelette over and cook for another minute.

Add the vegetable and ham filling and fold once again. Now you have a nutritious breakfast that tastes good but also is good for your sugar.
