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.

WALDORF SALAD

This recipe is a little different take on Waldorf Salad. It makes a tasty, healthy salad diabetics can enjoy.

2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 cup diced peeled or unpeeled apples
1 cup diced celery
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
5 tbsp light mayonnaise (I use olive oil mayo)
6 tbsp low-fat plain yogurt
1 tbsp Splelnda Granular (2 packets will work)
1/4 tsp salt

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apples, celery, and walnuts.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, Splenda, and salt; toss with the cabbage mixture.

Chill before serving.

Yield: 6 (3/4 cup) servings
Per serving: 100 calories, 8 g carbs, 2 g fiber (with peeled apples), 2 g protein
