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.

FROSTED FRESH GRAPES

This is an easy way for diabetics to fancy up salad patters, dessert plates, fruit and cheese trays, etc. These grape clusters are so good you could even use them as dessert. Remember this is considered a dessert and should only be used a decoration or the diabetic should eat no more than a few grapes. Use to fancy up platters and allow others to eat most of the grapes.

2 lbs seedless grapes
1 large egg white, slightly beaten (or 1/4 cup liquid egg white from dairy section)
1 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free gelatin, any flavor

Cover a tray with waxed paper; set aside.

Wash grapes and pat dry on paper towels. Cut bunches into small clusters.

Dip grape clusters into the egg white, one cluster at a time. Hold for excess to drip off then sprinkle with the gelatin. Place on the prepared tray. Repeat until all clusters are done.

Place tray in refrigerator and allow to cool for 3 hours before serving.

Note: Frosted grapes may be kept in the refrigerator over night if you need to make ahead.
