Does anyone want really good diabetic recipes that dont taste like a diabetic recipe? If no one answers, I will still post some I have created.
I found this recipe a long time ago but just perfected it yesterday. For those who can't have mashed potatoes, this is just perfect.
Florets from one cauliflower
Butter or Smart Balance
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Parmesean cheese
Greek Yogurt
salt and pepper (optional)
Steam florets with a little water (do not boil) until they are very, very soft. Make sure there's no water left in the pot and mash with a potato masher until almost pureed. Add a little each of the above ingredients, mix and enjoy.

Serves 2
Ingredients
1/2 cup pineapple juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 salmon fillets, each 4 ounces
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup diced fresh fruit, such as pineapple, mango and papaya
Directions
In a small bowl, add the pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce and ginger. Stir to mix evenly.
Arrange the salmon fillets in a small baking dish. Pour the pineapple juice mixture over the top. Put in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour. Turn the salmon periodically as needed.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat 2 squares of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the aluminum foil. Drizzle each with 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with pepper and top each with 1/2 cup diced fruit.
Wrap the foil around the salmon, folding the edges down to seal. Bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to warmed individual plates and serve immediately.
