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.

HONEY BUN CAKE

1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix (2-layer size)
1/2 cup olive or canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
1 carton (8-oz) fat-free sour cream
1/2 cup Slenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 cups "fake" powdered sugar*
4 tbsp low-fat milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a mixing bowl beat the cake mix, oil, applesauce, eggs, and sour cream by hand for 50 strokes. Pour half the batter into the baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine the Splenda and cinnamon; spread over the batter in the pan. Pour remaining half of the batter over the sugar/cinnamon layer. Using a knife, make swirls in the cake.
Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 40 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a bowl combine the "fake" powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Spread over the warm cake.
*Recipe available on this blog site. There are also 'fake' powdered sugars on the market now.
