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.

CRUNCHY PEA SALAD

 

1 small pkg frozen peas

2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 small can sliced water chestnuts
1 small jar pimentos, chopped
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup celery, thin sliced
1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use olive oil mayo)
1 tbsp hot or spicy mustard
1/3 tsp minced garlic
Lettuce leaves to line bowl, optional

Combine the peas, eggs, water chestnuts, pimentos, green onions, and celery together in a mixing bowl.

In a small bowl or a cup, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and garlic, stirring until mixed well.  Add to the pea mixture and toss lightly to coat.

Refrigerate until serving time.
Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
 
Remember this is a side dish and eat accordingly. This should be eaten with a lean protein item.
