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.

GELATIN ANTIPASTO SALAD

1 pkg (4 serving size) sugar-free Lemon-flavored gelatin
1/2 tsp salt, optional - I suggest you omit
1 cup boiling water
1 tbsp white vinegar
2 cups ice cubes (Old recipe - do not use too much crushed ice as it will all dissove quickly)
1/2 cup finely cut salami
1/3 cup finely cut Swiss cheese
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp sliced ripe olives

Dissolve gelatin and salt, if using, in the boiling water; stir until completely dissolved. Add ice cubes and vinegar; stir constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove any unmelted ice and discard.
Stir the remaining ingredients into the gelatin mixture. Pour into a 3-cup serving bowl and chill until firm, about 3 hours.
Garnish as desired.
Yield: 4 servings
