RE: DIABETIC RECIPES AND INFORMATION
Hi, I need your help looking for nutritional recipes
to help me or to get infomation. I am a new diabetic,
and my doctor wants me on a low or no protein
(what food should I stay away from for this?),
and no sugar and low in cholesterol (I have high
cholesterol and she also told me I have too much protein).
Thanks for your help and any info you can give me.

I use a somewhat larger pie pan and don't cut the heart shapes.
I usually have make the top crust like a lattice
because I make the bottom more than half the dough.
I use a recipe for crust which uses oil.
I think one could put rhubarb in. It might be a little
more juicy and so one might increase the starch. I usually
make the crisp as it is easier and less fat than with a crust.
The recipe is also copyrighted by Nutrasweet.

PETIT FOURS
I call these petit fours because they are small
and decorative, and look very pretty on a platter.
16 oz pkg. angel food cake mix
water as necessary
1 c semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped nuts
Prepare an 11 x 15 jelly roll pan by washing it well and
then lining the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil.
Smooth the foil carefully so the cake will be even.
Prepare cake mix as directed on the pkg.
Spread batter evenly in the jelly roll pan and bake
at 350* for about 25 min. or until cake is lightly browned
and the center springs back when touched.
Turn cake out onto a wire rack, remove the aluminum foil,
and cool to room temp.
Refrigerate cake on the wire rack for 30 min,
to make cake more firm.
Melt chocolate chips, add nuts, and spread
mixture evenly over top of cake.
Mark cake 4 by 7 : with a knife, draw lines
through the chocolate but not through cake.
Return cake to the refrigerator to firm up chocolate.
When it is chilled and firm, cut through cake
on the marked lines with a sharp knife.
Note: If you want to freeze the cake,
freeze it without the chocolate, adding the chocolate
just before you serve the cake allowing time
for the chocolate mixture to become firm.

and using a pastry knife cut the margarine into small pieces
(I use 2 butter knife crisscrossed to cut like this).
Add water and mix with a fork to form a ball.
Knead lightly two or three times on a
lightly floured board and roll out to form a single crust.
You may also refrigerate dough for 2 hours to overnight,
then bring back to room temp and roll out. Spray pie pan
or lightly grease, and ease the crust evenly into pan if it
has to be baked then filled, prick the bottom with
a fork several times and bake at 425* for 15 min
until light brown. Cool and fill.
Note: filling should be luke warm or cold when
placed in the crust, a hot filling will ruin crust.
When baking the crust to be filled later palace
