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.

TASTY PEACH CAKE

1 box sugar-free white or yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup canola or coconut oil
3/4 cup egg substitute
1 small box sugar-free peach gelatin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch or a large round baking pan with non-stick vegetable spray; set aside.

 In a large mixing bowl, beat together cake mix, water, oil, egg substitute and dry gelatin with electric mixer, on low speed, about 30 seconds until blended. Increase speed to medium and beat two minutes longer. Pour batter into prepared pan. 

Bake 35-40 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

Remove from oven and cool until barely warm. Lay a fancy paper doily on top of cake and sprinkle with sugar-free powdered sugar to decorate.

To make sugar-free powdered sugar:
Put 3/4 cup of Splenda Granular and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a blender and blend until it is a very fine powder. 0 grams of sugar and only 4 carbs per tablespoon.
