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.

TROPICAL LAYERED PUDDING

 This is a recipe I have had for years. It is a dessert and should be treated as such. One small serving per day. Share the rest with family and/or friends. This is also a good dessert to take to luncheons, etc where it will be shared with others, you can have a small amount of dessert without feeling guilty. 

2 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free French vanilla pudding mix

3 cups 1% milk

2 cans cans pineapple chunks in their own juice, drained with juice saved

4 bananas, sliced and dip in pineapple juice then drained before using

1 cup of the saved pineapple juice

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, optional

1 pkg sugar-free vanilla wafers

Prepare pudding as directed on package using the the 3 cups of milk along with the 1 cup of pineapple juice.

Layer remaining ingredients as follows: Cover the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with vanilla wafers. Place bananas over wafers, pineapple chunks over the bananas, coconut - if using over pineapple and spread the pudding overall. Crush some vanilla wafers and sprinkle over the top, if desired.

Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Yield: Approximately 16-18 servings

Note: Not all diabetics can enjoy dessert. If you are one of them please do not criticize those who can.
