Ok Book
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a pretty straightforward recipe book. I was hoping for more pictures since I like to see what finished foods should look like and only some of the recipes had pictures. There's a good variety of recipes and some yummy things like fries and other foods. A lot of the recipes in this book use low-carb versions of carbs instead of cutting out the carbs completely. There's also desserts included in this book. Overall an ok find.

Delightful, doable recipes
The Betty Crocker Simply Delicious Cookbook has a wide selection of recipes that should appeal to both diabetics and non-diabetics alike. The recipes look doable and some feature using the air fryer to prepare the recipe. Overall, this is a tasty cookbook that should help in following a diabetic diet. Recommend.

Easy, attainable, do-able
Easy, delicious, do-able. I was pleasantly surprised by how do-able these recipes are to make. With ingredients you have on hand, you are counting carbs in a way that is manageable and attainable. The recipes are delicious and easy to make. I did not feel like I was missing anything or giving up anything, just cutting back on the sugar and way down on the salt. Sweets, dinners, snacks. All great options that I want to eat. And peanut butter. It was lovely to see how I could incorporate it into desserts. Recommend.

Healthy Cooking Resource for All
I’m not diabetic myself, but I take care of a lot of people who are, and I do prefer my plate to be full of healthier options. This book seemed like a great resource to explore and gather some ideas and inspiration. Betty Crocker recipes are always a favorite, so I knew it would be a winner for me. The photos are an excellent embellishment to draw the eye to mouthwatering dishes. The recipes are simple and easy to follow, which is a must in my kitchen. None of the recipes felt unreasonable or too complicated to attempt. The dishes provided are proof that being diabetic does not mean you have to cut out taste and flavor. Thanks to Betty Crocker for compiling a treasure trove of palatable, acceptable, and healthy recipes. I especially appreciated the fast (can be prepped in 20 min or less) and slow-cooker options. Other options, such a vegetarian and gluten free are represented as well. I also really appreciated the Carb Choices provided, for those who manage their diabetes by counting carbs. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Delicious Sounding and Lovely Recipes

They are treasured whether received as gifts or inherited from loved ones. Most are splattered with cooking ingredients and many have notations in the margins. So, when I saw a book by Betty Crocker with diabetic recipes…I couldn’t resist. What I liked: * The beautiful photographs for almost every recipe * That FAST recipes are indicated * Meal Prep ideas * Every recipe includes nutritional information and carb counts * Cooking tips and some recipe variations are provided * Adding flavor without salt, eating out, enjoying dessert and smart snacking were included * Seeing so many recipes I would like to try * Thinking about which recipes I could make that were vegan/vegetarian * That I could see an entire family enjoying the recipes whether diabetic or not * The layout of the book * The conversion chart at the end Chapters: * Flavor Packed Basics * Scrumptious Breakfasts * Tasty Light Meals and Snacks * Colorful Salads and Veggies * Satisfying Dinners * Sweet Treats and Refreshing Drinks * Enjoying Desserts Some of the recipes that caught my eye: * desserts: I used to love them but avoid them now….some in this book look like they would be calorie and carb friendly…would love to try some of the frozen options in summer…most of this section looked delicious * Since I am predominately vegetarian/vegan, I loved looking through the vegetable and salad recipes, too. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins-Mariner Books for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
