WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

EASY COLESLAW

1 head cabbage, chopped
1 medium-size onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup Splenda Granulated or your favorite sugar substitute

Place cabbage, onion, and bell pepper in a large heat-proof bowl; pour Splenda over the mixture.

Dressing:
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt (I recommend omitting or using only 1/4 tsp)
1 tsp celery seed

In a small saucepan, combine the dressing ingredients and stir to mix well; bring to a boil.

Pour the hot dressing over the cabbage mixture and refrigerate until serving time. Do not stir.
