Mediocre marvel at best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prevention's Decadent Desserts for Diabetics: 125 Luscious Recipes for the Whole Family (Paperback)
I really wanted to like this book but was disappointed with the contents. All the recipes are the same "run of the mill" foods that you'll find in any "Better Homes and Gardens" cookbook. Apple strudel, chocolate layer cake, and brownies (to name a few). They still use white and brown sugar to make the food but the amount of sugar is cut back a bit. Big deal! I do that already! I guess I was expecting more fruit juice sweetened recipes so that I could get away from all the white sugar that fills our products. Regina's guidelines to healthier eating consists of replacing whole milk with fat free, 1% or 2% milk. Replace full fat cream cheese with low fat counterparts and eat your fruits and veggies. Sorry gang, this is old news!!

Desserts for Diabetics,
By Meg - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Prevention's Decadent Desserts for Diabetics: 125 Luscious Recipes for the Whole Family (Paperback)
Some of the recipes end up delicious, but many are complicated with many ingredients and multiple steps. Some of the recipes could have been simplified and been made, served, and tasted just as well, more quickly. I use this cookbook more to get ideas than to follow the recipes, since time is a premium and I don't want to spend so much time just making a simple (or what should be simple) dessert for an everyday dinner. I wouldn't mind the "fuss" if we had company coming, but many are just too complicated for everyday use.
