If you like garlic....I have found that McCormick Perfect Pinch Garlic and Herb SALT FREE seasoning is great on lots of things. I almost always use it on meat. For broccoli or cauliflower a squeeze of lemon seems to make it seem sweeter and adds another layer of flavor. I also like slicing a tomato, topping it with a slice of fresh mozzarella and some avocado and putting an oil and balsamic vinegar dressing on it. The balsamic vinegar is the key here. Not sure if these are good for diabetic but they work for me (level 3 kidney).

@nene22 As a fellow kidney patient, in Stage 3B [GFR about 33%] I follow a fairly strict renal diet No potatoes/tomatoes/bananas/dairy/ beans/avocado/etc. due to phosphorus and potassium levels. Even though my doctors also said there was no need to restrict my foods, I have proven that my progression of the disease has slowed tremendously, only dropping 6 points in 4 years.
@kamama94 has posted a great recipe book here on Mayo Connect that helps us all!
Ginger

@nene22 That sounds great for a rare treat for me . . . followed by an anti-diarrheal. I cannot tolerate fats, so the mozzarella, avocado and oil would put me over the edge. It sounds lovely though, that is why I would still eat it for special occasions without the oil. I love Balsamic also.
