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.

OLD FASHION EGGNOG

6 beaten egg yolks
2 1/4 cups low-fat milk 
1/3 cup Splenda or your equivalent of your favorite sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream or low-fat evaporated milk
1 tablespoon Splenda Baking Sugar Blend
Ground nutmeg

In a large heavy-duty saucepan combine the egg yolks, milk, 1/3 cup Splenda.  Cook the mixture over medium heat, while stirring, until the mixture coats a metal spoon.  Remove mixture from the heat.  Cool quickly by placing in a sink (or a pan) of ice water while stirring for a couple of minutes.  Stir in the vanilla.  Refrigerate at least 4 hours but up to 24 hours.

To serve:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the 1 tablespoon of Splenda Baking Blend until soft peaks (tops fold over when beaters are removed) form.  Transfer the chilled eggnog to a large punch bowl.  Gently fold in the whipped cream and sprinkle with ground nutmeg.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings
