Leeks, like onions and garlic are members of the allium family. They are the milder, sweeter of the three. They look like a giant green onion, and the white and light green parts are used in cooking, while the dark green parts are quite tough and stringy. Turkey Leek Shepherds Pie is the third in our group of diabetic friendly recipes. This one was the least favorite among my taste testers, finding it rather bland. The recipe is presented as written, but substitutions I recomm...
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Odessa, it’s that every single resident is not only incredibly friendly but also a walking encyclopedia on just about everything. Seriously, I could probably walk into the post office, ask about the best way to build a chicken coop out of recycled materials, and leave with a step-by-step guide, a handshake, and possibly a hand-drawn blueprint. This past week, I wandered into the Odessa hardware store under the illusion that I am now q...

Cooking for special diets can be daunting. Salt, butter and sugar, the principle ingredients to enhance flavor, generally need to be reduced or eliminated. Allergies to nuts or additives necessitate eliminating the feature ingredient in other recipes. My recent foray into testing recipes suitable for diabetic diets, particularly those using exchanges, formed this observation. Portion control by the eater, and precise measuring by the cook, are most important. If the recipe...
