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.

GUY AND HUNTER FIERI'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

This recipe is from 2011 when Guy said his son Hunter ate this sandwich three times a week.

2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken, skin removed
1/2 cup diced celery
1/3 cup diced carrot
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise made with olive oil
2 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp granulated garlic
Pinch of paprika
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6 whole-wheat sourdough rolls, split and toasted
Lettuce and tomato for garnish

In a bowl, combine the chicken, celery, carrot, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, celery salt, garlic, paprika, and black pepper; mix until combined.

Serve on the toasted rolls with a slice of lettuce and a slice of tomato on each sandwich.

Note: You can eat this on a lettuce leaf to save the bun carbs and calories, if desired.
