10 Ways to Eat Well on Budget – ADW Newsletter Review: March 25, 2009

Eric, Web Department — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:03:41 +0000

This week Marlene Koch is back with a very timely article for these tough financial times titled “10 Ways to Eat Well on Budget.” As many of us are trying to cut extra spending, one of the biggest expenses happens to be food. As you probably know, there is a temptation to save by eating plentiful yet starchy foods such as pasta and rice or cheap yet filling fast food. This poses a challenge to consuming a balanced nutrition every day, especially for those with diabetes. Marlene presents some great tips on how to continue to eat right…and spend right too!

Marlene also offers one of her great and healthy recipes by putting a new spin on an old homemade staple with Tuna Noodle Casserole. Make this old favorite better for you by using low-fat soup and cheese and partially substituting the amount of pasta with artichokes. It sounds like a great way to feed the family (and have enough for penny-saving leftovers) and cut the carbs and fat on this classic American dish.

If you are looking for some more healthy recipes or ideas for the dinner table or snack time, check out our selection of diabetic cookbooks, including Marlene Koch’s own 375 Sensational Splenda Recipes or Fantastic Food With Splenda by Marlene Koch.
