I'm a diabetic (Type I), and here are a few recipes that I and
my family (3 diabetics total in the family) use on holiday get-togethers:
Lime Cheesecake
------------------
Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup diet margarine - melted (can use liquid margarine)
Lime Filling:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) low-calorie cream cheese (Neufchatel)
1 cup park-skim ricotta cheese
15 packets Equal
1/2 cup skim milk
1 fresh lime rind, grated
1/4 cup lime juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatine (Knox)
2 packets low-calorie whipped topping mix (Estee makes some)
1 cup skim milk
Method for filling: Blend together cheese and ricotta cheese. Add Equal,
1/2 cup milk, and grated lime rind. Blend until smooth. In a small
saucepan, sprinkle gelatin into lime juice. Let soften 1 minute. Heat,
stirring constantly until gelatin dissolves (about 3 min.). Add gelatin
mixture to cheese mixture and blend until smooth. Prepare whipped topping
according to package directions, substituting milk for water. Fold
whipped topping into cheese mixture. Pour into crust -- spread evenly --
chill 4-6 hours.
Method for crust:
Blend crust ingredients thoroughly. Press crust over bottom and halfway
up sides of 9 inch springform pan sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray.
Bake in pre-heated 350 degrees F oven 8 - 10 minutes. Cool.

Impossible Pumpkin Pie
----------------------
1 can (16 oz.) pumpkin
1 can (13 oz.) evaporated milk (use the skimmed)
2 Tlbs. margarine or butter, softened (can use liquid margarine)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (use 1/4 cup sugar and the equivalent of 1/2 cup sugar
substitute - we use Sweet 'n Low brown sugar substitute)
1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
2 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp. vanilla
Method: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease pie plate (9 1/4 or 10 x 1 1/2
inches) or spray with Pam. Beat all ingredients 1 minute in blender on
high or 2 min. with hand beater. Pour into plate. Bake until knife
inserted in center comes out clean -- 50 - 55 min. Cool.

In my family, we call this "Pink Stuff," because we don't know what it
should be called. I guess it's an ambrosia type recipe, though.
Ambrosia or "Pink Stuff"
------------------------
1 can mandarin oranges (in lite syrup)
1 small can crushed pineapple (in its own juice)
1 small container cottage cheese (low fat)
1 pkg. sugar-free jello (something red)
1 small container Cool Whip (lowest fat)
Method: Thaw Cool Whip in the refrigerator. Mix everything together and
chill.

Strawberry smoothie
-------------------
1 8 oz. carton plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup skim milk
3 packets Equal or 1 tsp. Equal Measure
3 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup ice cubes
Method: In a blender container combine yogurt, milk, and Equal. With the
blender running, add berries a few at a time through opening in lid.
Blend until smooth, then add ice cubes one at a time through opening in
lid, blending until slushy. Pour into glasses. Makes 4 six-ounce
