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.

1 medium red apple, cut into small chunks

Place the oil, curry powder and onion in a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Simmer a couple minutes until the onion is tender. Add the lemon juice and Splenda; simmer about a minute or until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

When sauce is cooled, stir in the mayonnaise, blending well. Place the celery, apple, and turkey in a large bowl. Add the sauce and toss until salad ingredients are evenly coated.

To serve: Place salad greens on 4 salad plates. Top greens with the turkey salad and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.
