DESIGNED FOR ONE!

Having great-tasting, healthful meals doesn’t require cooking an entire feast. Culinary expert and best-selling author Nancy S. Hughes has spent 25 years developing recipes and teaching people how to cook for plenty…and how to cook for just one. Her latest book is entirely focused on the needs of cooking for one and serving yourself a great tasting meal every day of the week.

DESIGNED FOR ONE! 120 Diabetes-Friendly Dishes Just for You contains 120 budget-friendly recipes for dinner, including salads, sides (starchy and nonstarchy), and even desserts! Nancy guides readers through the process of shopping, storing, measuring, and preparing ingredients — including advice on how to pick out fresh ingredients such as asparagus, tomatoes, pork loin, avocados, and loose herbs without letting anything go to waste.

I wrote this book to provide both those living with diabetes and those just looking for healthier meals with easy-to-make recipes using everyday ingredients. No unwanted leftovers. No unnecessary work. Simple comfort for ONE!
— Nancy S. Hughes

Many recipes include tips from the chef (“Freeze leftover canned beans by laying them in a thin layer in a resealable sandwich baggie.”) and there’s a “How To” section that brings all these tips and more together for readers. There’s even a “Two-For-One” chapter where Nancy shares many options for cooking larger amounts to repurpose into other recipes and uses. Nancy draws on her previous books such as The 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook and Two-Step Diabetes Cookbook to ensure these recipes are simple, economical, and rich with flavor. Highlights include:

Mediterranean Unstuffed Peppers
Red Pepper-Mushroom Skillet Pizza
Ham, Pepper, and Pineapple Broiler Packet\
Italian Crusted Cod and Spinach
Mexican Shrimp with Lime
Pork and Avaocado-Lime Wrap
Pan-Roasted Salmon with Mango Chutney
Sweet Tart Raspberry Phyllo Bites
Frozen Banana-Pecan Sandwiches

Mukti: Free to be Born Again

Names have been changed to protect the innocent
How one Hindu refugee breaks taboos to discuss cleansing in Islamized Indian Subcontinent

Between 1947, when India was partitioned, to the 2001 census, Muslim-majority Bangladesh lost over 49 million indigenous minority Hindus.

Most of the world never knew.

In “Mukti: Free to be Born Again: Partitions of Indian Subcontinent – Islamism, Hinduism, Leftism and Liberation of the Faithful,” State University of New York Professor Dr. Sachi Dastidar describes the most important untold story of the 20th century. It is a message of hope and a depiction of how faith provides liberation from oppression.

“I have no power to protect individuals who shared their stories of injustice and subjugation with me,” Dastidar said. “I have changed their names to prevent them from receiving possible repercussion for sharing the truth. In the midst of despair, there are courageous defenders of the oppressed.”

Dastidar is part of an indigenous pre-Islamic Hindu family of Bangladesh and, perhaps, the only, among tens of millions of Hindu refugees, to return back from India. He is first to break the taboo of discussing displacement and cleansing and has been invited to two Congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., to testify for the plight of the non-Muslim minorities in a Muslim-majority subcontinent. Dastidar was also invited to be a keynote speaker at an international conference in Bangladesh, in 2005, and has lectured in India and Pakistan.

“This story is based in Bengal – the present-day Bangladesh, and West Bengal and Tripura states of India,” Dastidar said. “It is an area which witnessed three unnatural, large-scale mass killings in the last part of the 20th century. Yet, no one’s been held for those mass killings.”
