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.

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE

3 lbs apples, peeled, cored, chopped
3 cups water (approximately)
1/4 cup (or more to taste, depending on apples) Splenda granular
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Place the prepared apples in a medium saucepan and add the water to just barely cover the apples. Simmer the mixture over a medium-low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the apples are tender. Pour the mixture into a food mill or blender and run until almost smooth but not thin. Return to the pan and add the Splenda granular, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

This is great served as a side with pork chops or pork roast. It can also be spread on whole-grain toast or bagel for a breakfast treat or a snack.
