Cooking for Diabetics!

Chef April Tucker joined us for a cooking for diabetics class. The first entree was homemade humus for carrots and celery.

April stuck with organic produce for the night which was graciously provided by the Good Earth store in Leonardtown. They offered many of the specialty ingredients that were used for tonight's class.

The below is lentils cooling that will be made into delicious meatballs served with a homemade marinara sauce.


Zucchini was par-boiled, hollowed out and chilled for a tasty appetizer, with a vegetable fill using balsmatic vinegar.

The crew looks on and shares some of their tips with one another throughout the evening.

The meatballs are heading into the oven.

The dessert gets its start....

Of course the icing bowl gets passed and sampled!

Onto the spaghetti squash.....

...served with the meatball on top and fresh parmesan cheese.

Not shown was the mashed cauliflower as an alternative to mashed potatoes.

The Passion cake with low calorie cream cheese icing is the finale.

Another great night. Chef April will be back in March with her tasty desserts!
