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.

APPLE OATMEAL CAKE

This is one of the recipes from my vintage recipe collection. This one is from my childhood. I have changed it some to make it more diabetic friendly. If you cannot have desserts I'm sorry, just skip this recipe. It works well for me.

1 cup regular oats, uncooked
1 cup white whole-wheat flour 
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (cut in half if you have a problem with sodium)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (measure heavily as cinnamon is a blood sugar stabilizer)
1 cup Splenda grandulated (or equivalent of your favorite sugar substitute)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup diced apple
1/3 cup English walnuts, chopped

Combine the oats, flour, soda, salt and cinnamon.  Set aside.
Combine Splenda, applesauce, egg, and vanilla.  Add to dry ingredients.
Stir in apples and nuts.
Pour into an 8-inch square pan that has been sprayed with olive or canola oil cooking spray.
Bake at 350 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick insert in the center comes out clean.
