for grandma just cook almost anything but don't necessarily make it healthy!! I have diabetes also and must count the grams of carbohydrate in foods.

Green Enchilada Casserole

this goes into a 9 x 13 baking dish!! serves my sister and me or about 8 people if you insist.

3 cans cream of mushroom, undiluted

8 to 12 ounces chopped long green chile, any heat you wish mild, medium or our favorite HOT

1 large onion minced

3 cans chopped tomatoes, with juice

stir all the above together with whisk til it is smooth

brown 2 pounds extra lean ground beef with

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon salt

2 pounds shredded cojack or sharp cheddar cheese

18 corn tortillas

put 6 tortillas in bottom of baking dish that has been lined with aluminum foil that extends above the dish, then misted with oil

put 1/3 of soup mix on this

1/3 of meat on the soup

1/3 of the cheese

then start with the tortillas again. You can press out air when adding the tortilla layers!!

Bake at 350 for one hour!!

Serve with garden salad, guacamole and sour cream

about 1/12 serving is 30 grams of carb.

With diabetes, you should keep an eye on the carbs more than anything else. She also needs to space them throughout the day in order to keep her blood sugar regulated.

Here is an easy, yummy recipe where you can easily regulate the carbs:

Ingredients:

--2 boneless chicken breasts, cut in half

--flour

--salt and pepper

--vegetable oil

--1 chopped garlic clove

--sliced lemon

--can of chicken broth

--1 small chopped onion

--spaghetti

Directions:

1. Pound chicken breasts flat. If you place them between waxed paper or plastic wrap, it helps make for easier clean up. Season breasts with salt and pepper and dredge in flour.

2. Heat oil in skillet. Brown breasts on both sides. It won't take long. Add garlic, onions, chicken broth, and top chicken pieces with a slice of lemon.

3. Cover pan with lid, turn to "low" and allow it to simmer. The onion, garlic, and chicken broth will combine with the flour on the chicken and make a nice sauce. It won't take long, perhaps 15 minutes or so. Don't let it cook much longer and don't allow it to get too dry.

Serve with cooked spaghetti and a vegetable. A whole wheat pasta will be better for your grandmother.

Also, here is a good quick vegetable recipe:

Ingredients:

1 bunch of broccoli

1 chopped clove garlic

olive oil

Wash broccoli and cut up into pieces. Pour a little olive oil over it and mix with garlic. Bake in oven for about 15-20 minutes.

Hi there!

I have a great recipe for my #1 lasagna Recipe! Guaranteed to be a hit with your guests and grandmother...and all made from scratch :)

1 pound of sweet Italian sausage

1 pound of ground beef

1/2 cup of chopped onions

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes

2 (8 ounce) cans of tomato sauce

2 (6 ounce) cans of tomato paste

1/2 Cup of Water

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon fennel seed

2 teaspoons fresh Basil leaves chopped

4 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

23 ounces of ricotta cheese.

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

1 egg

1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

12 Lasagna Noodles

Directions

1. Start with the following in a pot.

1 pound of sweet Italian sausage

1 pound of ground beef

1/2 cup of chopped onions

2 cloves of garlic chopped

Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage, onions and garlic in a pot until they start to look. It takes about 6 to 9 minutes to brown the meat. I like to use a Dutch oven to cook this portion of the recipe. I use a medium low temperature to brown the meat. It is optional to remove the grease from the meat once it is finished browning, your choice.

2. Add the following:

1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes

2 (8 ounce) cans of tomato sauce

2 (6 ounce) cans of tomato paste

1/2 cup of water

Gently stir this into the cooking meat.

3. Add the following:

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon fennel seed

2 teaspoons fresh Basil leaves chopped

2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Gently stir these seasoning into the sauce.

Cover the pot and let the meat sauce simmer. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes

4. Soak 12 lasagna noodles.

The lasagna noodles need to be soaked in hot tap water for 15 minutes.

5. While the noodles are soaking you can make the cheese filling.

Put the following in a mixing bowl:

23 ounces of ricotta cheese.

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

Grate fresh nutmeg over the Ricotta cheese.

6. Add the following

1 egg

2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped

Mix these ingredients together with a spoon

7. Now we start building the lasagna layers.

Use a 9×13 inch baking pan.

Spread 2 Cups of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan.

Remove your lasagna noodles out of the water bath. Shake water off wet noodles.

Lay 6 noodles across the layer of sauce.

Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the layer of noodles.

Spread 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.

Sprinkle half of the Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella layer

Spread 2 cups of meat sauce over the cheese layer

Lay down the next layer of noodles

Spread the remaining ricotta mixture over noodles

Spread the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses saving some cheese for the top of the lasagna

Put the last layer of meat sauce on the cheeses

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

8. Cover with foil

Bake in preheated oven at 350 for 25 minutes

Remove foil and bake uncovered for another 25 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
