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.

SWEET-AND-SOUR RED CABBAGE

12 cups shredded red cabbage
2 apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup Splenda granular
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
pinch salt

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven place the cabbage over the bottom, layer the apples over cabbage. Combine the Splenda with the cloves, sprinkle over the apples. Add the bay leaf. Combine the vinegar with the water and pour overall. Slice the butter into thin pats and place over the top. Sprinkle with salt. Cover pan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for approximately an hour. Uncover and continue to simmer for about a half hour or until the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally during this time. Before serving, remove bay leaf and discard.
