I like the recipe, but I would like to know: What is Chipotle pepper? Can someone tell me? It is not available in Australia, so I left it out and added a little extra cayenne..

I can't handle the spicy dishes either--hot or not--my stomach dislikes them. And I'm not diabetic either. So I just leave out that 'stuff' & maybe add water chestnuts or something else, or maybe nothing else. It is getting harder & harder to find "good ole American" food anymore in restaurants. Most seniors (& I didn't say all) cannot deal with this spicy stuff. Alice

My husband and I are looking for NO PEPPER recipes. We are 63 years old and our stomachs cannot handle peppers! No hot spicey dishes please! Young people seem to forget that diabetics are often OLDER, and have older stomachs.

 

I just used the search function on this site and found 122 total choices for Beef Tenderloin Recipes. Try to remember that we need to cater to all sorts of tastes.

Take care,

Diabetics are often older?!? Type 2 diabetes is not the only diabetes in this world. There is also Type 1 diabetes which usually occurs when you are younger!

If you don't like the spicy dishes omit the peppers.
