It's time for another Diabetic Thursday.
It's usually only a matter of time before a family is affected by diabetes. And one of the things that changes is how the family approaches food. There are quite a few resources, at doctors' offices, the internet (check out Diabetic Gourmet, American Diabetes Association, and Diabetes Self-Management, for starters), and your local hospitals to find helpful hints.
And now, on to today's offerings, including Turkey, Spinach and Apple Wraps and Raspberry-Almond Bar Cookies. Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup orange juice without pulp
2 cloves
4 ripe pears - Bosc or Anjou varieties (peeled, halved and cored)
1 Tbsp. plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided
4 large, room temperature egg whites
Dash of cream of tartar
Dash of salt
2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. shaved chocolate, from a good-quality dark chocolate bar
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large baking pan, combine water, orange juice, 1 Tbsp. sugar and cloves. Add pears.
Poach pears in the oven until soft. Remove pears from liquid and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until the eggs are frothy (about 1 minute).
With the mixer at high speed, add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Beat for roughly 6 minutes or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Drop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in eight 3- to 4-inch-diameter rounds, smoothing the edges.
Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, but leave the meringues in the oven for about 12 hours. Do not open the oven door.
When ready to serve, gently peel the meringues off the parchment paper.
Place each pear half in a bowl and top with one meringue.
To garnish, shave chocolate from the side of the chocolate bar using a vegetable peeler.
Note, it may help if the chocolate bar is cold, so refrigerate for several minutes prior.
Garnish each meringue with 1 teaspoon shaved chocolate.

HAM AND PEPPER FRITTATA
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 1/4 of recipe
Source: The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan
See the recipe here: http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/468.shtml
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced, lean, reduced-sodium ham
2 teaspoons dried parsley

2 cups fat-free egg substitute
1 cup shredded, reduced-fat, white Cheddar or Swiss cheese
Directions
Coat a large ovenproof skillet with the olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.
Add the peppers, ham, parsley, and black pepper and saute for several minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the ham is beginning to brown. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg substitute over the skillet mixture and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook without stirring for about 6 minutes, until the eggs are almost set (the edges will be cooked but the top will still be runny).
Remove the lid from the skillet and wrap the handle in aluminum foil (to prevent it from becoming damaged under the broiler).
Place the skillet under a preheated broiler and broil for a couple of minutes, until the eggs are set but not dry.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top and broil for another minute to melt the cheese.
Cut the frittata into 4 wedges and serve hot.

HAM AND PEPPER FRITTATA
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 1/4 of recipe

Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or canola oil
1/2 cup diced yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 cup diced, lean, reduced-sodium ham
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups fat-free egg substitute
1 cup shredded, reduced-fat, white Cheddar or Swiss cheese
Directions
Coat a large ovenproof skillet with the olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.
Add the peppers, ham, parsley, and black pepper and saute for several minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the ham is beginning to brown. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg substitute over the skillet mixture and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook without stirring for about 6 minutes, until the eggs are almost set (the edges will be cooked but the top will still be runny).
Remove the lid from the skillet and wrap the handle in aluminum foil (to prevent it from becoming damaged under the broiler).
Place the skillet under a preheated broiler and broil for a couple of minutes, until the eggs are set but not dry.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top and broil for another minute to melt the cheese.
Cut the frittata into 4 wedges and serve hot.
