Vegan Egg Foo YoungBy Life and Health NetworkThis is an easy recipe inspired by Egg Foo Young. You can serve the patties plain or add a nut-based Basic Gravy (similar to a real Egg Foo Young). This recipe is perfect for diabetics because it is based on lentils (a legume).
Breakfast Beans Over ToastBy Life and Health NetworkBeans? For breakfast? Yes! Beans are perfect to start your day off with a full stomach, stabilized sugars, and less likelihood to have cravings in between meals.
Simple Pancakes (Diabetes Edition)By Life and Health NetworkEnjoy these light and fluffy pancakes exactly the way this cookbook shows: with a little dab of almond butter and sliced banana. This recipe can also be used as a waffle mix.
Secret Ingredient Brownie BitesBy Life and Health Network

Normally, brownies would be out of the question. But with the secret ingredient (black beans), this guilty pleasure becomes accessible once more.

Creamy Potato SoupBy Life and Health NetworkThis is one of the easiest soups in this cookbook, and can be dressed up or down in any direction, depending on the aromatics, vegetables, proteins, etc. that you have in your fridge.
Asian Shiitake, Kale, and Rice BowlBy Life and Health NetworkI wouldn't say this lightly but...this tastes like something my mom would make (in a really, really good way). If you're apprehensive about cooking home-style Asian food, this is the perfect recipe for you to start with.
Nacho Cheese-Style SauceBy Life and Health NetworkWarm cheese sauce is comforting and creamy. This vegan version is loaded with flavor and comfort, but low in calories and fat.
Protein-Packed Quinoa SaladBy Life and Health NetworkThis earthy, nutty flavored, grain-like seed makes a great rice substitute. It’s gluten-free, packed with protein, and delicious! Life and Health tip:  Remember that grains in your salad still count as carbohydrate servings. To bulk up this meal, could add extra beans and serve with carrot sticks and fresh fruit.
