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.

PRIMAVERA CHICKEN PIZZA

When you just have to have a pizza, make this healthy pizza rather than picking up the phone!
1 tube whole-grain refrigerated pizza crust*
olive oil nonstick cooking spray
2 tbsp shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp lite Ranch salad dressing
1 pkg (6-oz) refrigerated cooked chicken breast strips, chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup thinly sliced and diced red onion
1/2 cup torn baby spinach
1 1/2 cups shredded Italian-blend cheese
1 tsp pizza seasoning
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or use a pizza stone.
Unroll dough onto the pan. Starting in the center, press out the dough to the edge of the pan. Lightly spray the crust with an olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the garlic over the dough.
Bake the dough 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and spread the Ranch dressing over the top. Top the dressing with the chicken, bell pepper, onion, and spinach. Sprinkle the Italian-blend cheese and the pizza seasonings over the top.
Return to oven and bake 9 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the pizza is hot.
Yield: 4 servings
*Use the Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe on this site or a purchased cauliflower crust..
