cookbook, cooking recipes

When the doctor told me I had Type II Diabetes, I wasn't surprised.  I had gained weight since the loss of my Dad, a divorce and the loss of a dear friend.  Eating eased the pain, and I needed some relief.  I should have spoken to my doctor and allowed him to help me out during that time.  However, hindsight is 20-20, and I just failed to see it coming.

So, in my 50's I developed diabetes.  The doctor told me I would need to change the way I was cooking baking, and change my cooking recipes.  Once I got over the initial shock, I became determined to beat this disease and become as healthy as possible.  I changed bakery supplies, and I started looking at what was out there that could help me defeat my Type II diabetes. 

Going online, I found a great ecommerce store called Good Galley located at http://goodgalley.com/.  This internet discount store carries all types of bakery supplies, and I even found a cookbook for diabetics.  Most kitchen cooks are well aware of not only how to cook for people who need specialty foods; but, they can expand their knowledge easily through use of a cookbook designated to meeting those special needs in cooking.  Really good kitchen cooks always keep themselves up-to-date on any new ways and means of preparation of foods for whatever or whomever their guest are. 

Personally, I am just a plain old country cook.  I am southern; but, since I have had to watch my weight for some time, I cook without use of much fat.  I use a bullion cube to season most vegetables, and I try and be creative when doing the remaining dishes.  Since becoming diabetic, I really work hard to watch how I cook as well as my intake of food.

The cooking recipes I use are often made with many exchanges.  Changing from an ingredient with much fat, sugar and carbs to a healthier choice has made such a difference in my overall health.  This has helped me lose most of my weight, and it has helped with my diabetes.  I no longer take three shots per day...now it is two.  I plan on becoming shot-free soon.

The best part of discovering this online store has been the Diabetic Cookbook which is actually six cookbooks in one disk.  It has over 1,000 cooking recipes from the American Diabetic Association, and that is exactly what I need!
