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.

HOT BACON CRAB DIP

This recipe (and photo) are from a bacon insert in a 2011 Food Network magazine. I redid the recipe to be more diabetic-friendly.

1 (8-oz) brick low-fat cream cheese, softened
8-oz crabmeat
1 cup cooked, drained on paper towels, crumbled bacon
1/2 cup olive oil mayonnaise
3 scallions, chopped
1 lemon, juiced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Mix all ingredients together and spread in the baking dish. Sprinkle fine whole grain bread crumbs over the top and bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Serve with whole grain toasted breads or crackers.
