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.

BANANA SPLIT PIE

1 baked 9-inch sugar-free pie crust (there are several diabetic-friendly pie crusts on the market or make your own with your choice of low/no carb products)
1 pkg (4-oz) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups low-fat milk
2 bananas, sliced
1 can (15-oz) can crushed pineapple in its own juice
1 carton (8-oz) sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Drain the pineapple well and pour the juice over the bananas; drain.

In a bowl, pour the milk into the pudding mix and beat with a wire whisk 5 minutes or until thickened. Pour pudding into the prepared crust. Place the sliced bananas over the pudding. Sprinkle the pineapple over the drained bananas. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pineapple and sprinkle the pecans over the top. Chill for at least an hour before cutting to serve.

For garnish purposes only, you may place a long-stemmed maraschino cherry in the center of the pie.

Yield: 8 servings (1 slice for you, share the rest) Diabetics should never eat dessert after a medium to high carb meal!
