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.

BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

When you find yourself in need of a breakfast casserole, give this one a try. One serving only, share with family and/or friends.

I got the original recipe many years ago from an Amish lady where I grew up in Indiana. I have made some changes to make it diabetic friendly,

8 slices of whole wheat or low-carb bread, cubed
1 lb turkey sausage, fried, crumbled, and drained
6 eggs
2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp dried mustard
1 lb of grated low-fat cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Put bread in the bottom of a casserole dish. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and add milk, onion, salt, pepper and mustard. Sprinkle sausage and cheese over the bread. Slice butter over the cheese and pour the egg mixture over all. Bake in a medium heat oven (325 degrees) for about 45 minutes.
