  • Win a Free Cookbook
  • Blueberry Pandowdy & Lemon Pepper Butternut Squash Medallions

ABCs of Diabetes Management

The ABCs of Diabetes Management is a perfect way to guide your clients through the basics of the numbers associated with diabetes. After all, those charts and labels can get confusng, and its harder to set and stick to goals when a person doesn’t understand what’s happening.

Celebrate Dessert Month in Style: Blueberry Pandowdy
Blueberry Pandowdy

Ingredients:
Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 3/4 cup

3 cups blueberries
1/2 cup grape juice
1/2 tablespoons corn starch
3 low-fat cereal bars

Combine blueberries, grape juice, and corn starch in a glass baking dish. Stir well.
Crumble low-fat cereal bars into chunks and sprinkle them over the top of the blueberry mixture.
Cover the dish and microwave on high until bubbly. This should take about 10 minutes, though it will be closer to 15 if you use frozen berries. Serve hot.

Chef’s Tips:

This dessert is extra delicious with a small dollop of whipped cream.

You can also bake the pandowdy at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. If you sub in frozen blueberries, the pandowdy will take about 35 minutes to bake.

Dive Headfirst Into Fall: Lemon Pepper Butternut Squash Medallions

Roasted Squash Medallions

Ingredients:
Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 3 slices

1 butternut squash, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 lemon
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Granulated garlic, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup shredded fresh spinach
1 slice provolone cheese, julienned
Canola or vegetable oil spray

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Lightly spray a rectangular glass or stoneware baking dish with canola or vegetable oil spray.

Place squash slices across the bottom of the dish. Squeeze lemon over the slices and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, and black pepper. Broil until tender, about 20-30 minutes.??Remove the squash from the oven and arrange it on a platter. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with spinach and strips of provolone cheese. Serve hot.


Chef’s Tips:

This dish goes great with pasta, grilled or roasted chicken, lasagna, or pizza.

Meyer lemons are sweeter than traditional lemons -- they’re the best lemon to use in this dish. If you don’t have a Meyer lemon, use half of a regular lemon instead. Experiment around until you get the flavor that works best for you.

If you don’t have any Italian seasoning, use a combination of dried basil and oregano. Mess with proportions until you have a mix that you really like.

Wormy Apples

Ingredients:
Serves: 6 | Serving Size: 1/2 apple

6 red baking apples, cored and sliced
1/4 cup raisins
1 Tbsp soft margarine
Juice of one lemon
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
1 Tbsp brown sugar
6 candy gummy worms, cut in half

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine apples, raisins, margarine, lemon juice, spices, and sugar in a large baking dish. Cover and bake until apples are tender, about 30-45 minutes. Place in bowls and serve warm or chilled. Garnish each one with a gummy worm half or mini gummy worm.

Chef's Tips:

It is fun if you can serve the apples in a pie pan with a light sprinkle of graham crumbs on the bottom so it looks like they are in "dirt".
