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.

4 1/2-oz black olives
7-oz cooked shrimp, shelled
1 scallion, finely chopped
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine the oil, juices, and dill to make a dressing; whisk to blend well.

In a large salad bowl, place the pasta; add the dressing, tomatoes, olives, shrimp and scallion. Season with the salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Note: I have never made this salad as I do not eat shrimp. Also, I do not have a picture. This recipe was passed on to me as a healthy salad. I have no recommendation, good or bad, on this recipe.
