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.

NUTTY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

1 lb fresh or frozen (thawed) Brussels Sprouts, thawed and cut in half
1/4 -1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Trim Brussels sprouts and cut an x in the core of each.

In a large saucepan, bring 1-inch of water the salt and sprouts to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Sprinkle pepper over all.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat until golden brown. Add the pecans and cook 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned. Add the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
