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.

CINNAMON BAKED CUSTARD

2 large eggs
2 cups low-fat milk
1/3 cup Splenda Granular
1/4 tsp salt
Dash of ground ginger
1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Note: Cinnamon is a blood sugar stabilizer so I recommend the 1/4 teaspoon. However, if you aren't fond of cinnamon start with a dash and work your way up. Diabetics should eat cinnamon daily.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease 4 8-ounce custard cups; set in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, Splenda and salt until well blended. Pour the custard evenly into the 4 prepared cups; sprinkle the tops with the ginger and cinnamon.

Pour hot water 1/2-inch deep on the baking pan.

Bake custards at 350 for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the centers comes out clean.

Remove the cups from the water to a wire rack to cool.

Custard may be served warm or cold. Top with a few fresh berries, if desired.

Leftovers should be refrigerated.
