Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats for Kids: 150 Recipes for the Foods Kids Really Like to Eat
Original price was: $15.95.$10.33Current price is: $10.33.
This redesigned and expanded third edition of Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats for Kids offers even more simple, delicious recipes for healthy, well-balanced diets.
Since the book was first published in 2006, the prevalence of diabetes in children has continued to increase. Children under age 19 have seen a 21 percent increase in Type 1 cases, and children ages 10–19 have seen a 30 percent increase in cases of Type 2—a disease that used to be considered an adult condition.
But kids will be kids, and when they come home from school, they want a snack that’s simple, satisfying, and occasionally sweet. When it comes to dinner, they usually don’t have the time or the taste for fancy meals. With this in mind, author Barbara Grunes has developed more than 150 recipes for snacks and meals that kids really like and that stay within diabetic guidelines.
Grunes’s goal is to help all kids enjoy food that is good for them—even if they have diabetes. Each recipe includes the nutritional information readers need, whether they count carbs or use the exchange method. With recipes like Pizza Puffs, Spud Pancakes, Chicken Fajitas, Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes, and Fruit Turnovers, this book proves that everyone can enjoy familiar and delicious food together. After all, it’s not about “good,” “bad,” or “forbidden” foods—it’s about readers feeding their families sensibly.

Useful Book
I got this for my niece who is only 4 years old and recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Very unfortunate. There are just enough recipes that she may like since kids are so picky at this age. Maybe she will like the others when she gets a little older. Overall, there are many recipes to try and even good enough for adults to try who want healthier options.

The book has been amazing
I’m not really a review writer but I just had to talk how great this book has been…my son is diabetic and a picky eater. I read some good reviews and thought I would give this book a chance not only for me make new things for him but so that he can start making things for himself. We’ve made a few recipes together and he’s enjoyed them and I’m honestly glad he’s eating. I had to write this review tonight because he made his own cornbread today, we havent tried it just wanted to make it advance, but it smells great. Overall I’ve enjoyed the ease of the recipes, it gives us different ideas and getting to spend quality time with my son in the kitchen just makes me so happy.

Kids’ cookbook marginally appealing
Most of the receipes in this book I really don’t think my kids will enjoy. They are not big vegetable fans and this has a lot of veggie-oriented dishes. I was hoping for more creative ideas, more low-carb snacks on the sweet side. Also, it’s not a visually appealing cookbook. I decided to keep it, though, as it does have some receipes I can use.

Simple recipes with carb totals
Got this for my sister since my nephew (10 yo) was just diagnosed with diabetes. She loved it. She liked that the recipes were simple having only a couple ingredients each. She also noticed that each recipe had carb totals listed (super helpful!!) The recipes really are kid approved, my nephew didn’t turn his nose up to any so far.

This book provide a great variety of Tasty
I have found this book to be very helpful in taking some strain out of thinking what I can feed my 3 yr old Type 1 Diabetic son, especially at snack times.We all now how stressful meal times can get especially for working mums. What are we going to have? Carb counting, Is it healthy? so on and so on.When searching for meal options on the net or magazines I was finding that most of the diabetic websites or magazines had recipes that were more suited for adults or type 2 diabetics not so much for Toddlers/children with type 1.This book provide a great variety of Tasty, healthy recipes suited to Children that the entire family can enjoy.

Outdated
Reduced fat cheese? Fat free yogurt? Yes let’s reduce the healthy fats that balance the blood sugar. Don’t buy this. This is a seriously outdated way of creating a balanced recipe for a child.

I didn’t buy this for a recipe for grilled corn or roast potatoes. Seems very basic. There are no metric measurements either. It’s not for me.
