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.

HAM AND CHEESE PUFFS

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (or half butter/half olive oil)
1 cup white whole-wheat or garbanzo bean flour
1/2 tsp dry mustard
4 large eggs
1 pkg (4-oz) sliced ham, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese

Grease and lightly flour a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper; set aside.

In a 2-quart saucepan, over medium heat, combine butter and water until butter is melted and mixture is at a roiling boil. Remove from heat and quickly stir in flour and mustard all at once while mixture is still bubbling. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each until smooth. Mix the ham and cheese into the batter.

Drop by tablespoon (or small mounds) onto the prepared cookie sheet, about 2-inches apart. Bake approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown. Turn off heat and leave in oven another 15 minutes.
