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.

ROGERS ROPIN' MEAT SAUCE

Most of us know of Will Rogers the late cowboy, one of the world's greatest trick ropers, actor, writer, and humorist.   His son Jim Rogers was also an accomplished cowboy and actor who appeared along side Hopalong Cassidy in many movies.  This is one of their favorite recipes for barbecue sauce.  This is a recipe of theirs from the 1930s. With just a couple of changes, noted in ( ), most of us diabetics can enjoy this recipe.

1/2 cup ketchup (I use sugar-free)
1 tbsp A-1 steak sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar (substitute 1 1/2 tbsp Splenda brown sugar blend)
pinch of chili powder

Combine all ingredients well.  "It goes well with most cuts of beef, from hamburgers to T-bones."
Makes 1/2 cup
