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.

OPEN-FACED EGG SANDWICH FOR ONE

This is an "Outsmart Diabetes" recipe I have had for years.

1/2 whole-wheat English muffin
1 hard-boiled egg sliced into 3 or 4 round slices
1/4 cup fresh spinach, cooked and drained very well
1 thick slice of tomato
2 tsp fat-free mayonnaise*
Your favorite salt-free seasoning blend

Place English muffin on a folded sheet of aluminum foil. Top muffin with the spinach, tomato, and egg slices. Add the mayonnaise and slightly spread over the egg slices. Sprinkle with selected seasoning.
Place open sandwich under broiler and broil for a couple of minutes or so until the mayonnaise is lightly browned.

*May substitute plain Greek yogurt.
