Diabetic Recipes - Broccoli Recipes

Microwaved Broccoli with Lemon

2 medium-size heads broccoli, about 3 pounds
juice and grated zest of 1 lemon

Cut the florets away from the large stems. If desired, peel the stems and cut into 1inch (2.5 cm) lengths.

Cut stems in half if very thick.

Arrange broccoli in shallow microwave-safe dish. Cover with plastic wrap, venting at one corner.

Microwave on HIGH for about 6 minutes, until just tender. Just before serving, sprinkle the lemon juice and zest on the broccoli (doing it earlier will turn the broccoli gray).

There is nothing quite like a barbecue for your Fourth of July picnic and hamburgers are a traditional staple of that meal, along with hot dogs, broccoli salad, macaroni salad, cucumber salad, and potato salad.

From World Famous Recipes we bring you a couple of Recipes for Hamburgers that caught our eye. One is traditional and one is quite a spicy dish.

For an especially hot summer treat we have this mouth-burning concoction:

catsup, chili sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Pour sauce over

Mexican Meatloaf Recipes

Ingredients

1-1/2 lbs. ground round (or ground beef) 1 med. onion diced
3/4 c. breadcrumbs 1 tsp. granulated garlic
2 tsp. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt 2 eggs slightly beaten
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 can Rotel “Extra Hot” diced tomatoes
w/chili’s, drained.

Preparation

Mix all ingredients except for 1/2 of the tomato sauce and form into a loaf pan. Top with the remaining tomato sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until done. I also use 1 small drained can of mushrooms in the loaf because my husband likes them in about everything but they are not necessary. As soon as I remove the loaf from the oven, I drain off any excess grease from the loaf pan to keep it from reabsorbing into the loaf.
