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.

GREEN BREAKFAST SCRAMBLE

3 eggs, beaten with 1 tbsp water
salt and fresh ground black pepper to suit taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chive, tarragon or basil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups asparagus, tough ends trimmed off, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Combine the eggs, salt, pepper, and herbs; set aside.

Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and add the asparagus to the hot pan; cover and cook 1-2 minutes until lightly cooked. Stir the spinach into skillet and cook just long enough to wilt. Push to one side of the skillet.

Pour the egg mixture into the other side of the pan and stir lightly with a spatula to scramble. When almost set, stir in the veggies and cook until eggs are set.
