Grill Veggies: Cut veggies, such as peppers and onions, to roughly the diameter of a silver dollar. Dust them with a light layer of extra virgin olive oil and season to taste. Always prefer Mediterranean diet pyramid (www.typefreediabetes.com/Articles.asp?ID=209) for diabetes.
Wrap the veggies tinfoil and throw the package on a grill. Cook the veggies alongside your hotdogs and hamburgers for about 20 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and hot.
Mayo-free Potato Salad: Not all potato salads and diabetic dessert recipes (http://www.typefreediabetes.com/Diabetic-Recipes-s/5733.htm) require mayonnaise. In fact, without the mayo, potato salads can be quite healthy and incorporate not only a healthy dose of carbohydrates, but also onions, celery, oils, and dairy. Check online for mayo-free potato salad recipes that suit your taste buds.
Full-Fruit Popsicles or Ices: Instead of offering ice cream or another high fat, high sugar dessert, plan ahead and make your own full-fruit popsicles or ices. Simply freeze any flavor of 100% fruit juice in an appropriately sized and shaped container, add small fruit chunks, and serve. You can find Popsicle trays in just about any grocery store.
Limit the Alcohol: Most people enjoy having a summertime beverage, such as a margarita, daiquiri, or even a simple beer during a cookout.
