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.

LIME CHIFFON MARBLE

Looking for a light, sugar-free dessert? Give this recipe a try. Good anytime of the year as you can use other gelatin flavors to change colors to suit your occasion.

1 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free lime gelatin
3/4 cup boiling water
2 cups ice cubes
1 cup sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Dissolve gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.

Add ice cubes to gelatin and stir constantly until mixture begins to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove any remaining ice. Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture and set mixture aside.

Fold the whipped topping into the remaining gelatin.

Alternately spoon the plain gelatin and whipped topping gelatin into 4 dessert glasses. Carefully zigzag a knife or spatula through the mixture to marble. Chill.

Before serving, garnish with a mint sprig, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings
