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.

MY DIABETIC VERSION OF MY LATE AUNT'S BANANA NUT BREAD

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup Splenda Granulated
2 large or 3 medium eggs
1 tbsp milk
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
3/4 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter and Splenda; add the eggs and milk. Add the bananas and stir to blend.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; add to the banana mixture. Stir in the vanilla and nuts.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack about 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely on the wire rack.

The picture below is this bread I made this morning.
