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.

SALMON-ARTICHOKE OMELETS

1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin bite-size strips
1 tbsp olive oil
1 can (14-oz) quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2-oz hot-smoked salmon, skinned and flaked
2 cups refrigerated egg product
1/4 cup water
4 tsp finely shredded Parmesan cheese

For Filling: In a 10-in skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil; add bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add artichokes and garlic; cook about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in the green onions and salmon. Set aside.

Combine the egg product, water and a dash of black pepper in a bowl. Beat until combined but not frothy. Generously coat an 8-in skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat until skillet is hot.

Add 1/4 of the egg mixture to the skillet; reduce heat to medium. Stir mixture gently but continuously with a heatproof spatula until mixture resembles small pieces of cooked egg surrounded by liquid egg. Stop stirring and cook 30 to 60 seconds or until mixture is set and shiny.

Spoon 1/4 of the filling mixture (about 3/4 cup) over one half of the eggs. Lift and fold the opposite half over filling. Transfer omelet to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat process 3 more times to make 4 omelets.

Before serving sprinkle with additional green onions as garnish, if desired.
