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.

QUICK AND EASY LEMON ROSEMARY CHICKEN

1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup garlic or canola oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp salt
dash of freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken legs
4 chicken thighs

Combine the lemon juice, oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size ziptop plastic bag. Seal well and shake to mix well.

Remove the skin from the chicken pieces and add chicken to the plastic bag. Marinate for about 30 minutes.

Heat up an indoor or outdoor grill.

Remove the chicken pieces from the plastic bag, discarding the marinade. Place chicken in a microwave-safe 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Cover and microwave for 10 minutes. If you are not using a turntable, turn the dish after 5 minutes.

Remove microwaved chicken to the grill. Grill 6 to 10 minutes or until browned and juices run clear.

A serving of 1 leg and 1 thigh = approximately 271 calories, 32 g protein and only 1 g carbs, sorry I do not have sodium numbers
