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-FRIENDLY PINEAPPLE CAKE

When you have a sweet-tooth or need a dessert for several people, you might want to try this recipe. One serving for you and share the rest. You can also freeze pieces of this cake and pull one out when you really want one.

1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix

1 can (20-oz) crushed pineapple in its own juice, save the juice

2 boxes of sugar-free French vanilla pudding mix

1 (8-oz) sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

Bake the cake, according to the box directions, in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Allow to cool and poke holes in the cake. Pour the saved pineapple juice over the cake then spread the pineapple overall.

Mix the pudding mix according to directions then spread over the pineapple.

Top cake with the whipped topping and keep in refrigerator. Topping may be put on the cake right before serving, if desired.
