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.

SAUTEED GARLIC GREEN BEANS

 

2 1/2 - 3 lb fresh green beans, washed & trimmed
2 tbsp olive or canola oil
1 onion, sliced
3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Place green beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 or 6 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and place beans in ice water to stop the cooking; drain well.

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté 10 - 15 minutes or until they are tender and the onion starts to caramelize. Stir in the green beans, salt, and pepper; continue cooking another 3 to 5 minutes until beans are heated through and of desired tenderness.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
