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.

CHERRY ANGEL DELIGHT

Note: This is a dessert. Not all diabetics can enjoy dessert. If you are one who can't, skip this recipe and move on. Their is no need to disparage those who can have desserts.

1 sugar-free angel food cake
1 pkg (8 oz) light cream cheese, softened
1 small pkg sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp Splenda
1 can lite cherry pie filling or no-sugar-added cherry pie filling
1 small carton sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/3 cup chopped pecans, if desired for garnish

Tear cake into bite size pieces and lay on bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Mix pudding according to package directions and refrigerate until set. Mix cream cheese, vanilla and Splenda into the pudding. Pour mixture over top of cake pieces. Spread pie filling over pudding mixture. Top with whipped topping. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top. Refrigerate 1 hour before cutting to serve.
