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.

MAPLE GLAZED HAM STEAKS

1/3 cup sugar-free maple-flavored syrup
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp Splenda Granular
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt, optional (I suggest omitting)
Pinch of garlic powder
2 fully cooked ham steaks about 1" thick

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together all ingredients except ham. Cook 5 minutes over low heat.

Place the ham steaks on a baking sheet with sides. Spoon half the sauce over the steaks.

Broil steaks, 2" from the heating element, 5 minutes. Turn steaks, spoon remaining sauce over the steaks and broil another 5 minutes or until heated through.
