National Nutrition Month + Cookbook Giveaway

Celebrate National Nutrition Month and check out the new 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook (+ a giveaway!).

March is National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Put Your Best Fork Forward”. This theme is a great reminder that each day, and even at every meal, we have the opportunity to make healthier choices. Small changes today can lead to long-term results and healthier habits in the future.

So, how will you “Put Your Best Fork Forward” today? I’m starting my day of a cup of matcha tea (read more about matcha powder in this post) and a bowl of oatmeal!

Today, I’m excited to share about the new 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook from cookbook author, Nancy S. Hughes and the American Diabetes Association. Plus…there’s a chance to win a copy of the cookbook at the end of this post! What better way to welcome Friday and kick-off the weekend than with a giveaway?!

What I love most about this cookbook is that Nancy shows us that delicious, nutritious food doesn’t have to be complicated. With 4 ingredients or less, you can create nutrient-rich dishes at home. Cooking often at home is associated with consuming fewer calories and carbohydrates, less sugar, and less fat than rarely cooking at home or not at all. And not to mention the money you’ll save from not dining out several times a week!

Even if you currently feel like you don’t enjoy cooking or being in the kitchen, I encourage you to try a simple recipe that takes less than 20 minutes and a few basic ingredients. You might be surprised at how easy cooking can be and the results of your efforts! As I shared at the beginning of the post, a small change today can lead to long term habits 🙂

Each of the recipes in the cookbook include the approved meal exchanges from the American Diabetes Association and nutrition info. With 160 recipes, this 2nd edition cookbook is a great resource for anyone looking to prepare simple and delicious recipes at home. While all of the recipes are diabetic-friendly, I’m sure anyone would enjoy recipes like the ones below:

Sriracha-Roasted Pork with Sweet Potatoes {full recipe here}

I love everything about this recipe. A sriracha and honey glaze on pork tenderloin….perfection! And I don’t know about you, but I could eat sweet potatoes all day, errday.

Double-Duty Banana Pancakes {full recipe here}

Pancake breakfast in under 15 minutes? Say no more.

Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Layered Pie {full recipe here}

Bet you didn’t expect to find a caramel-y, chocolate-y, heavenly pie in this cookbook but here it is in all it’s glory. And only 4 ingredients!
