Diabetic Friendly Cooking with the Grill

Being a diabetic presents some real challenges when one is a carbohydrate junky, as I am. Working vegetables into my diet has not been easy.  My first method of preparation was to cover what ever vegetable I was trying to eat, with large quantities of cheese.  This of course did little to help with the blood sugar problem, but well it was a beginning right?  As my culinary training expanded I have found vegetables can be good tasting as well as good for you.  Grilling vegetables I find to be one of the best ways to enhance the natural flavor of most any vegetable.  Yellow squash, zucchini, green beans and red bell peppers really benefit from grilling.  In this dish I am using veggies I had prepared earlier on the grill just long enough to get the charring, but not fully cooking.  Then when I was ready to serve I finished them in a pan of crumbled bacon and seasoned to taste.  Quick, easy and a healthy side dish.
