One way of managing diabetes is to eat foods low in carbohydrate content. Knowing the insulin requirements for a particular recipe makes it easier to bolus for that meal. i regularly make an Eggbeaters omelette with some veggies, mushrooms and herbs for breakfast. It hardly has any carbs, and very little, if not any, fat. The omelette, along with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, gets me started everyday.

There is no cure for diabetes, yet.

BF and I didn’t feel like eating out again, but we weren’t quite up to cooking a full meal either. Instead we picked up a rotisserie chicken and fresh broccoli from the grocery store, then headed back home to make this stovetop mac and cheese side dish I saw in the May 2007 issue of Cooking Light magazine.

Some differences between the receipe and what I did:

1. Used full fat cheese.
2. Added a few splashes of Tabasco sauce.
3. Omitted the breadcrumbs toasted in butter.

It turned out really well. It’s a basic recipe that cooks up quickly, a little lighter than most recipes, and doesn’t require baking!

Stovetop Mac and Cheese
1 1/4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (about 6 oz.)
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cubs (5 oz) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2 oz) slice white bread
1 tablespoon butter, melted

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.

2. combine milk and flour in a medium saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add cheese, salt, and peper, stirring with a whisk until smooth. add pasta; toss to coat. Let stand 4 minutes.

3. Place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until the crumbs measure 1 1/4 cups.

4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ad breadcrumbs, and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in melted butter; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over past mixture. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup)
