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.

SPIRAL VEGETABLE STICKS

3 medium carrots, cut into quarters lengthwise
12 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
1 tube (11-oz) refrigerated bread sticks
1 egg white, beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano

In a large skillet, bring 2-inches of water to a boil; add carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add asparagus and cook another 2-3 minutes. Drain veggies and rinse with cold water; pat dry.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut each piece of bread stick dough in half; roll each piece into a 7-inch rope. Wrap one rope around each vegetable.

Place the wrapped vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, tucking the end of the bread dough underneath the veggie stick to secure. Brush each with the egg white.

Combine the Parmesan cheese and oregano; sprinkle over the sticks.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
