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.

NO SUGAR ADDED PINEAPPLE CHEESECAKE

 Note: This is a dessert and should be treated as such. It may be fine for some diabetics and off limits to others. You know what your body can handle. You decide if it is right for you.

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

2 pkg unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup hot water

1 1/3 cup nonfat dry powdered milk

2 packets sugar substitute - I use Sp1lenda or Stevia

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp butter flavoring

Drain pineapple, saving the juice. Place the pineapple and 1/2 of the juice in a blender container. Add the gelatin and hot water, blend 2 minutes. Add the milk powder, remainder of the pineapple juice, sugar substitute, vanilla, lemon juice and butter flavoring. Blend for 3 minutes. Pour into a 10-inch round pan. Sprinkle the top with some cinnamon, if desired.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
