I am building another Lens(blog)that is all about low-carb reecipes for loosing weight and for people with diabetes. If you have any please share them with me and I will put your name with every recipe you send me. Like so : Thank You YOUR NAME for sharing this recipe. I am looking for recipes that are 20g carbs and under. That is 20g after subtracting the fiber. So if there is 25g of carbs and 5g of fiber it works out to be 20g of carbs. Be sure to include your name if you want it used when published. Thanks for your help Kowgirl

Sugar-Free Maple Cookies SUBMITTED BY: Brenda Wile "Notes Brenda Wile of Winesburg, Ohio, 'Mom made batch after batch of cookies until she came up with this recipe to satisfy my diabetic brother's sweet tooth. We all like these soft cookies.'" INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup reduced fat margarine, softened 1/2 cup sour cream 1 cup peeled, shredded tart apple 2 eggs 1 teaspoon maple flavoring 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/3 cup brown sugar substitute (e.g., Splenda ®) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder DIRECTIONS In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, sour cream, apple, eggs, maple flavoring and vanilla. Combine flour, sweetener, baking soda and baking powder; add to apple mixture and mix well. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees F for 9-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Store in airtight container. Sugar-Free Raisin Bars SUBMITTED BY: Betty Ruenholl "Syracuse, Nebraska cook Betty Ruenholl remarks, 'My mother is diabetic so I keep these moist, golden bars on hand for dessert. I even serve them during the holidays. They're a nice light snack for everyone.'" INGREDIENTS 1 cup raisins 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup margarine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 egg, beaten 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract DIRECTIONS In a saucepan, over medium heat, cook raisins, water, margarine, cinnamon and nutmeg until margarine is melted; continue cooking for 3 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients. Spread into a 8-in square baking dish that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. No-Yolk Deviled Eggs SUBMITTED BY: Dottie Burton "'This lighter recipe still provides traditional deviled egg flavor and appearance,' conveys Dottie Burton of Cincinnati, Ohio. 'A mashed potato mixture magically replaces the yolk filling.'" INGREDIENTS 10 hard-cooked eggs 3/4 cup mashed potatoes (prepared with skim milk and margarine) 1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 2 drops yellow food coloring (optional) Paprika DIRECTIONS Slice eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks and refrigerate for another use.

Thanks, these sure sound good, I will try them myself. If you have the info... I need the nutrition facts per serving ...calories, total fats, sodium, carbos., cholesterol, fiber and protein. This will make these recipes more appealing to the readers of the lens(blog) I don't have a carbo counter on the blog. I'm still looking for one to put on there. Have a good day Kowgirl

I have a recipe from a Diabetic Cookbook. CHICKEN DOPIAZZA - serves 4 3 onions, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons polyunsaturated vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon coriander seeds 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2-1 teaspoon chilli powder 350g/12oz fresh tomatoes, halved 350g/12oz small new potatoes, washed freshly ground black pepper 750g/1 1/2 to 1 3/4lb chicken meat, cut into 1 inch cubes salt to taste Fry onions in the oil in a large pan until golden brown. Mix the garlic powder with the spices and a little pepper. Add the spice mixture to the pan with the chicken meat. Fry, stirring all the time, for about 1 minute. Pour in sufficient water to cover the chicken and add salt to taste. Bring to the boil. Cover and summer for 45 minutes or until the chicken is nearly cooked. Add water during cooking if necessary, to ensure the mixture does not become dry. Then add the tomatoes and potatoes and continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked.
