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.

KETO-FRIENDLY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

I do not eat or follow the Keto diet. However, from time to time I do see a recipe I like and this is one of them that meets my diet guidelines.

12 egg whites at room temperature

1 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup superfine almond flour

1/4 cup arrowroot powder

1/8 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a round cake pan with parchment paper; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with electric mixer until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form. Reduce mixer speed to low and add the vanilla.

Fold the dry ingredients slowly into the egg whites. Spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. Cool completely before cutting to serve.
