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.

CONNIE'S FRESH SPINACH SALAD

1 lb fresh spinach
1 small red onion, sliced into rings
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained, crumbled

Dressing:
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup olive or canola oil
1/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup Splenda Granular (or equivalent of your favorite sweetener)
1 tbsp prepared mustard
1 tsp celery seeds
1/2 tsp salt

Remove stems from spinach, wash leaves in lukewarm water and pat dry. Tear into bite-size pieces. Combine the spinach, red onion, chopped eggs, and the crumbled bacon. Toss with the dressing.

To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a small jar with a tight fitting lid and shake until combined or whisk all together.
