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.

VANILLA WHIPPED CREAM

You can make some sweet tasting homemade whipped cream by using a little vanilla and some homemade confectioners' sugar.  (Directions for making confectioners' (powdered) sugar using Splenda are available on this blog. NOTE: This is a repost from an old blog page. You can now buy some good powdered "sugar" substitutes on the market.

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar-free confectioners' "sugar"*
1 tsp vanilla extract:

Beat the heavy cream with the "sugar" and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer on high speed.  Beat until stiff peaks form.

This is great to use on everything from strawberry shortcake to pumpkin pi

*There are directions on this blog for making your own sugar-free powdered sugar.
