Hello bloggers! I have been cutting way back on the rice or potato side dishes and going for other grains and vegetables. All of the rice we celiac's have to eat in our breads and things can eventually send your blood sugar up. One of my favorite alternative grains is buckwheat. I have purchased Bob's Red Mill buckwheat groats (kernals in their raw form) and Kasha (buckwheat groats in a roasted form). It is a high protein, fiber rich grain, which is also high in nutrition. I have experimented with both forms as they have different textures and flavors. The raw groats make a good salad or hot breakfast cereal. I liked the Kasha better for a side dish or vegetarian meal. I tried the recipe on the back of the bag of Kasha which calls for coating the grain with an egg and cooking that forst before adding the liquid. That was a very interesting dish too.
You might notice a new category on my blog called "diabetes friendly". I work at a hospital and teach at the Joslin Diabetes Center and the Cardiac Rehab. Many of my patients follow my blog and I am trying to point out the best recipes for them. The diabetes friendly recipes are good for anyone trying to keep their blood sugar down or following a low carb diet.
