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.

CROWN JEWEL CAKE

1 small pkg sugar-free orange gelatin
1 small pkg sugar-free cherry gelatin
1 small pkg sugar-free lime gelatin
3 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 small pkg sugar-free lemon gelatin
1/4 cup Splenda
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup no-sugar-added pineapple juice
2 envelopes Dream Whip Whipped Topping Mix

Prepare the first 3 gelatins separately, using 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water for each flavor. Pour each flavor into a separate 8-in square pan. Chill until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Cut each into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside 3 or 4 cubes of each flavor to use as garnish.

Dissolve the lemon gelatin and Splenda in the 1 cup of boiling water; stir in pineapple juice. Chill until slightly thickened.

Prepare both envelopes of Dream Whip as directed on box. Blend into the slightly thickened lemon gelatin. Fold in gelatin cubes. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Chill until firm, at least 5 hours or overnight. Just before serving, run a spatula around sides of pan; gently remove sides. Garnish with the reserved cubes in the center of the cake.

Yield: 16 servings
