Balance Your PlateDiabetes management can be tough, but with this handy handout, you won't have to worry about putting a nutritious meal on the table tonight. Ingredients:You will need 1 whole spaghetti squash (you’ll use one cup of cooked squash), 3 ounces raw tuna steak, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, 1 tsp chopped parsley, juice from 1 lime, 1 cup arugula, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, 2 yellow cherry tomatoes, and 1/3 cup cooked brown rice (we chose short grain brown rice because it sticks together nicely).

Assembly:

1. Halve the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place halves with the cut side down in a covered dish, then stick that dish in the microwave. Cook for 10 minutes or until the squash is soft enough to pierce with a sharp knife. Scrape a cup of the cooked squash out of its shell. Twist the pile into a neat, round nest on the plate.
2. Grill the tuna steak. You can use a nonstick pan or a panini machine. Use a light spray of cooking oil to keep the tuna from sticking to the pan (or machine).
3. Place the cooked tuna on a plate and top with the tomatoes, parsley, and lime juice.
4. Plate arugula and top with balsamic vinegar and cherry tomatoes (we used golden cherry tomatoes).
5. Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to mold the rice into a column on 1/4 of the plate.
