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.

DIABETIC VERSION BROWN DERBY PIE

1 cup Splenda Granular (Or equivalent of your favorite sugar substitute
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour*
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 stick butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans
6-oz pkg. sugar-free chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1 unbaked sugar-free 9-inch pie shell (best if made with white whole wheat flour although I sometimes use a frozen pie shell if I'm in a hurry)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together Splenda and flour. Add the butter, eggs, and vanilla to the mixture and blend well. Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips. Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
*May substitute almond flour or your favorite low/no carb product

This is a good pie to serve when you have company or need to take a dessert. You can have a small slice and others won't guess it is sugar-free.
