A culinary companion created in honor of our Diabetes Prevention Program. This collection of recipes is more than just a cookbook; it’s a testament to our commitment to supporting the health and well-being of our community.
As a not-for-profit Independent Living center serving 18 counties across southeastern and south-central Montana, LIFTT’s mission is to empower individuals with disabilities and those in the aging community to live independently and participate fully in society. We believe in teaching self-reliance and providing resources rather than temporary solutions – in essence, teaching people to fish rather than simply handing out fish.
This cookbook is a reflection of that philosophy. It features a variety of low glycemic index breakfast and lunch recipes designed to support both the consumers we serve and our dedicated employees. These meals are delicious and crafted to help maintain stable blood sugar levels, an essential factor in diabetes prevention and management.
But this cookbook represents more than just healthy eating. It embodies our commitment to inclusion and community support. At LIFTT, we serve as a hub of resources for individuals experiencing various hardships in their lives. We understand that good nutrition is a crucial component of overall well-being, and we’re proud to share these recipes as part of our holistic approach to supporting our community.
Whether you’re a participant in the Diabetes Prevention Program or simply someone interested in exploring low glycemic index meals, we hope this cookbook becomes a valuable resource in your kitchen and your journey towards better health.
Let’s embark on this culinary adventure together, creating meals that nourish our bodies, support our health, and bring us together as a community. Happy cooking!
