Eating healthy is one of the best things a person with diabetes can do, but truth be told, a diet that's good for diabetics, is also good for everyone looking to manage their weight and stay healthy.
Watch as Chef Harrison Schailey of Harrison's Wine, Grill and Catering in State College and Amy Leffard, a Certified Diabetes Instructor whip up a delicious dish, and explain the health benefits.
Mediterranean Quinoa with Grilled Vegetables and a Fresh Basil Vinaigrette isn't just a good meal for diabetics, it's a good meal for everyone, and tasty too! Hot or cold, this dish is great!
Quinoa is one of nature's super foods. It's a tiny, nutty tasting gluten free grain that delivers healthy doses of protein and fiber. It is one of the few plant foods that is a complete protein, meaning that it provides the body with all 9 essential amino acids, similar to milk. Although it's called a super grain, quinoa is actually a seed and is in the same family as spinach, beets and chard.
If you'd like a cooking demonstration of your own, Chef Harrison Schailey has one coming up on March 12th and 19th from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Fit for Play in State College. It's all part of their Diabetes Awareness and Prevention Series. The event is free to the public.
