SKILLET PEANUT BUTTER CINNAMON SPICE COOKIE
This comes from Rachael Hartley, RD, LD, CDE at VeryWellFit, and begins, “This decadent yet low-carb skillet peanut butter cinnamon spice cookie is the perfect treat for someone with diabetes. It takes less than ten minutes of prep time, has only five grams of sugar per serving, and is made with blood sugar lowering cinnamon. Most importantly, it’s delicious!”
Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes; Servings: 16.
To view this online, click here.
Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup almond meal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Non-stick spray
2 tablespoons peanuts, optional, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, beat egg until slightly frothy. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, almond meal, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Spray an ovenproof skillet lightly with nonstick spray. Pour batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with a few peanuts and press down slightly.
Place cookie on a rack set in the center of the oven and bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden around the edges. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Ingredient Variations and Substitutions
“This is one of my favorite treats to make because I always have the ingredients on hand! Whenever I’m craving something warm, gooey and sweet, I know this skillet cookie is only 20 minutes away.”
Nut Butters
Even in your pantry is looking bare, this recipe is easy to adapt based on what you have on hand. You can use any type of nut butter—cashew butter and almond butter both work well. And if you’re in the unfortunate situation of running out of nut butter, you can make your own by blending a rounded cup of nuts with a tablespoon of oil in the food processor until if forms a creamy spread.
Sweeteners
I made these with brown sugar, which has a richer flavor than white sugar, although you could certainly substitute it in a pinch. You could also use pure maple syrup or honey, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook it a couple minutes longer to prevent burning.
Nut-Free Variation
If anyone in your household is nut free, you can still make this cookie—just swap in sesame butter and leave out the almond meal. Made with sunflower seeds, it’s perfect for those with tree nut allergies.
Vegan Variation
For a vegan version, use a chia seed egg. Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit to gel for about 10 minutes before mixing in the other ingredients.
This trick is a perfect one to remember next time you run out of eggs.
More Add-Ins
If you’re feeling extra decadent, load this cookie up with lots of healthy add-ins. In the mood for something chocolatey? Swap the almond flour for 1/4 cup cocoa powder, or stir in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and flavanols. Want something fruity? Stir in a handful of frozen berries. This recipe is especially delicious with frozen wild blueberries.
Make an extra nutty cookie with different kinds of nuts and seeds, like walnuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Add a handful or two of dried fruit along with those nuts to make a granola inspired cookie. My favorite way to enjoy this cookie is with a handful of shredded dried coconut and dark chocolate chips.
Cooking and Serving Tips
This cookie is best when it’s slightly undercooked. The center might not look fully done when you take it out, but it will continue cooking as it cools.
Be sure to use a nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.

QUICK ITALIAN BEEF ROAST WITH ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES
Recipe Yield: Makes 8 servings
Source: TBC
Recipe and photo appears courtesy of Cattlemen's Beef Promotion Board.
View this online at https://diabeticgourmet.com/diabetic-recipes/quick-italian-beef-roast-with-zucchini-and-tomatoes.
Ingredients
1 beef Eye of Round Roast (2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 medium zucchini, sliced (1/2-inch)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halves
Directions
Heat oven to 325F.
Combine salt, 1/2 teaspoon basil, oregano and pepper; press onto beef roast.
Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover.
Roast in 325F oven 1-1/4 hours for medium rare doneness.
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135F.
Transfer to board; tent with foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10F to reach 145F for medium rare.)
Increase oven temperature to 425F.
Combine remaining ingredients, except tomatoes, in large bowl; toss. Place on rack in pan.
Roast in 425F oven 15 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes; toss. Carve roast. Serve with vegetables.

SKILLET PEANUT BUTTER CINNAMON SPICE COOKIE
This comes from Rachael Hartley, RD, LD, CDE at VeryWellFit, and begins, “This decadent yet low-carb skillet peanut butter cinnamon spice cookie is the perfect treat for someone with diabetes. It takes less than ten minutes of prep time, has only five grams of sugar per serving, and is made with blood sugar lowering cinnamon. Most importantly, it’s delicious!”
Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes; Servings: 16.

Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup almond meal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Non-stick spray
2 tablespoons peanuts, optional, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, beat egg until slightly frothy. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, almond meal, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Spray an ovenproof skillet lightly with nonstick spray. Pour batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with a few peanuts and press down slightly.
Place cookie on a rack set in the center of the oven and bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden around the edges. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Ingredient Variations and Substitutions
“This is one of my favorite treats to make because I always have the ingredients on hand! Whenever I’m craving something warm, gooey and sweet, I know this skillet cookie is only 20 minutes away.”
Nut Butters
Even in your pantry is looking bare, this recipe is easy to adapt based on what you have on hand. You can use any type of nut butter—cashew butter and almond butter both work well. And if you’re in the unfortunate situation of running out of nut butter, you can make your own by blending a rounded cup of nuts with a tablespoon of oil in the food processor until if forms a creamy spread.
Sweeteners
I made these with brown sugar, which has a richer flavor than white sugar, although you could certainly substitute it in a pinch. You could also use pure maple syrup or honey, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook it a couple minutes longer to prevent burning.
Nut-Free Variation
If anyone in your household is nut free, you can still make this cookie—just swap in sesame butter and leave out the almond meal. Made with sunflower seeds, it’s perfect for those with tree nut allergies.
Vegan Variation
For a vegan version, use a chia seed egg. Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit to gel for about 10 minutes before mixing in the other ingredients.
This trick is a perfect one to remember next time you run out of eggs.
More Add-Ins
If you’re feeling extra decadent, load this cookie up with lots of healthy add-ins. In the mood for something chocolatey? Swap the almond flour for 1/4 cup cocoa powder, or stir in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and flavanols. Want something fruity? Stir in a handful of frozen berries. This recipe is especially delicious with frozen wild blueberries.
Make an extra nutty cookie with different kinds of nuts and seeds, like walnuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Add a handful or two of dried fruit along with those nuts to make a granola inspired cookie. My favorite way to enjoy this cookie is with a handful of shredded dried coconut and dark chocolate chips.
Cooking and Serving Tips
This cookie is best when it’s slightly undercooked. The center might not look fully done when you take it out, but it will continue cooking as it cools.
Be sure to use a nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 cups salad greens (torn)

1 can mandarin orange segments (11 ounce, drained)
1/2 cup celery (sliced)

In large bowl, combine all salad ingredients; toss gently.
Serve with vinaigrette. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries.
Notes:
You can substitute 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chopped onion for the chopped fresh onion or as recommended on the dried onion container.

In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine all vinaigrette ingredients; shake well. If you don't have a container with a tight-fitting lid, place ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix together with a whisk.
In large bowl, combine all salad ingredients; toss gently.
Serve with vinaigrette. If desired, garnish with fresh strawberries.
Notes:
You can substitute 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chopped onion for the chopped fresh onion or as recommended on the dried onion container.
Prepare the dressing at least 10 minutes before you need it to allow the dried onion to re-hydrate from the fluids in the dressing.
Another way to add crunch to your salad would be to use 4 tablespoons chopped walnuts instead of the celery.

Salads
Chances are, you may have heard of celiac disease. If so, you may also be aware that nyone with celiac disease has to watch out for carbs. (Sound familiar? You may also be watching carbs if you or a loved one has diabetes.)
But did you know that undiagnosed celiac disease in people with Type 1 diabetes "can lead to frequent, unexplained low or high blood glucose readings"? According to an article from Diabetes Self-Management, it can.
I can almost hear someone saying, "But I thought if you're not diagnosed with celiac disease as a child, you're in the clear." That's what I thought, too. However, that's not always the case.
For a great article on dealing with celiac disease, especially if you have diabetes, check out “What You Should Know About Celiac Disease”. It'll give you plenty to think about.
And now, on to the good stuff - the food. Today's recipes deal with salads.
If someone mentions salads, and your first thought is a lettuce-tomato-onion-and-dressing dish, it's time to add a few extra salad recipes, including Confetti Bean Salad and Winter Fruit Salad. Enjoy!

SKILLET PEANUT BUTTER CINNAMON SPICE COOKIE
This comes from Rachael Hartley, RD, LD, CDE at VeryWellFit, and begins, “This decadent yet low-carb skillet peanut butter cinnamon spice cookie is the perfect treat for someone with diabetes. It takes less than ten minutes of prep time, has only five grams of sugar per serving, and is made with blood sugar lowering cinnamon. Most importantly, it’s delicious!”
Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 20 minutes; Servings: 16.
To view this online, click here.
Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup almond meal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Non-stick spray
2 tablespoons peanuts, optional, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, beat egg until slightly frothy. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, almond meal, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Spray an ovenproof skillet lightly with nonstick spray. Pour batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with a few peanuts and press down slightly.
Place cookie on a rack set in the center of the oven and bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden around the edges. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Ingredient Variations and Substitutions
“This is one of my favorite treats to make because I always have the ingredients on hand! Whenever I’m craving something warm, gooey and sweet, I know this skillet cookie is only 20 minutes away.”
Nut Butters
Even in your pantry is looking bare, this recipe is easy to adapt based on what you have on hand. You can use any type of nut butter—cashew butter and almond butter both work well. And if you’re in the unfortunate situation of running out of nut butter, you can make your own by blending a rounded cup of nuts with a tablespoon of oil in the food processor until if forms a creamy spread.
Sweeteners
I made these with brown sugar, which has a richer flavor than white sugar, although you could certainly substitute it in a pinch. You could also use pure maple syrup or honey, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook it a couple minutes longer to prevent burning.
Nut-Free Variation
If anyone in your household is nut free, you can still make this cookie—just swap in sesame butter and leave out the almond meal. Made with sunflower seeds, it’s perfect for those with tree nut allergies.
Vegan Variation
For a vegan version, use a chia seed egg. Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit to gel for about 10 minutes before mixing in the other ingredients.
This trick is a perfect one to remember next time you run out of eggs.
More Add-Ins
If you’re feeling extra decadent, load this cookie up with lots of healthy add-ins. In the mood for something chocolatey? Swap the almond flour for 1/4 cup cocoa powder, or stir in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and flavanols. Want something fruity? Stir in a handful of frozen berries. This recipe is especially delicious with frozen wild blueberries.
Make an extra nutty cookie with different kinds of nuts and seeds, like walnuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Add a handful or two of dried fruit along with those nuts to make a granola inspired cookie. My favorite way to enjoy this cookie is with a handful of shredded dried coconut and dark chocolate chips.
Cooking and Serving Tips
This cookie is best when it’s slightly undercooked. The center might not look fully done when you take it out, but it will continue cooking as it cools.
Be sure to use a nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.

QUICK ITALIAN BEEF ROAST WITH ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES
Recipe Yield: Makes 8 servings
Source: TBC
Recipe and photo appears courtesy of Cattlemen's Beef Promotion Board.
View this online at https://diabeticgourmet.com/diabetic-recipes/quick-italian-beef-roast-with-zucchini-and-tomatoes.
Ingredients
1 beef Eye of Round Roast (2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 medium zucchini, sliced (1/2-inch)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halves
Directions
Heat oven to 325F.
Combine salt, 1/2 teaspoon basil, oregano and pepper; press onto beef roast.
Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover.
Roast in 325F oven 1-1/4 hours for medium rare doneness.
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135F.
Transfer to board; tent with foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10F to reach 145F for medium rare.)
Increase oven temperature to 425F.
Combine remaining ingredients, except tomatoes, in large bowl; toss. Place on rack in pan.
Roast in 425F oven 15 minutes or until tender. Add tomatoes; toss. Carve roast. Serve with vegetables.

Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup almond meal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Non-stick spray
2 tablespoons peanuts, optional, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, beat egg until slightly frothy. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, almond meal, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined.
Spray an ovenproof skillet lightly with nonstick spray. Pour batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with a few peanuts and press down slightly.
Place cookie on a rack set in the center of the oven and bake 10-12 minutes until puffed and golden around the edges. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Ingredient Variations and Substitutions
“This is one of my favorite treats to make because I always have the ingredients on hand! Whenever I’m craving something warm, gooey and sweet, I know this skillet cookie is only 20 minutes away.”
Nut Butters
Even in your pantry is looking bare, this recipe is easy to adapt based on what you have on hand. You can use any type of nut butter—cashew butter and almond butter both work well. And if you’re in the unfortunate situation of running out of nut butter, you can make your own by blending a rounded cup of nuts with a tablespoon of oil in the food processor until if forms a creamy spread.
Sweeteners
I made these with brown sugar, which has a richer flavor than white sugar, although you could certainly substitute it in a pinch. You could also use pure maple syrup or honey, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook it a couple minutes longer to prevent burning.
Nut-Free Variation
If anyone in your household is nut free, you can still make this cookie—just swap in sesame butter and leave out the almond meal. Made with sunflower seeds, it’s perfect for those with tree nut allergies.
Vegan Variation
For a vegan version, use a chia seed egg. Mix 1 tablespoon chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit to gel for about 10 minutes before mixing in the other ingredients.
This trick is a perfect one to remember next time you run out of eggs.
More Add-Ins
If you’re feeling extra decadent, load this cookie up with lots of healthy add-ins. In the mood for something chocolatey? Swap the almond flour for 1/4 cup cocoa powder, or stir in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and flavanols. Want something fruity? Stir in a handful of frozen berries. This recipe is especially delicious with frozen wild blueberries.
Make an extra nutty cookie with different kinds of nuts and seeds, like walnuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Add a handful or two of dried fruit along with those nuts to make a granola inspired cookie. My favorite way to enjoy this cookie is with a handful of shredded dried coconut and dark chocolate chips.
Cooking and Serving Tips
This cookie is best when it’s slightly undercooked. The center might not look fully done when you take it out, but it will continue cooking as it cools.
Be sure to use a nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
