I have several recipes that include pork green chile, pork carnitas, grilled chicken breast in a mole sauce, grilled spicy pork chops and/or steaks along with a variety of salads like a blue cheese wedge, greek salad, spring salad or an pasta salad.

Not sure what you mean by Spanish. Hope you mean spanish food. Check out one of my favorite sites. I am not diabetic but I did notice a section for diabetic recipes. The site is http://allrecipes.com. This will bring you to the home page and you can go from there. Not only do they have great recipes, but they have people who have tried them provide ratings and reviews. It's fun and informative.
I get tons sent to me in my mail. You can also get many at the drug store. They always put a booklet out once a month and it is free to pick up. Also check out Web-MD and the Mayo Clinic site or just do a web search. They are all over the place.
