My father, a diabetic, is having quintuple bypass surgery today. I will be staying with him the first week of April, after he is released from the hospital, to help take care of him. One of the things I want to do while I'm there is prepare some meals for him that he can freeze and heat up in individual portions. My step-mother doesn't cook much, so this would be a big help for both of them.
If you have any diabetic, heart-smart recipes that would freeze well (and are relatively easy - I also have a 7 month old baby to wrangle!) please post them. He doesn't like squash, carrots, mushrooms, or onions.

Sorry, but the AHA and the ADA are the worst sources for recipes to control type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
Both conditions require increase in healthy fats and strict reduction of starches and sugars.
The most important thing is for Amy's dad to use a blood glucose meter to test one hour and two hours after each meal, and removing foods from his diet that raise his blood glucose above 140 at any time. This is stricter than the ADA recommends, but higher than the levels at which damages begin to accrue.
It will be the best investment you will ever make.
