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.

BAKED CATFISH WITH SALSA

3/4 lb catfish fillet

2 1/2 tbsps fresh breadcrumbs (preferably whole-grain or low carb)
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 tsps butter, melted
1/2 cup peach or mango salsa (watch sugar content)
3 tbsps coarsely chopped peeled cucumber

Rinse fish and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the fish in the pan and sprinkle with the seasoning and bread crumbs; drizzle the butter over all.  Bake 20 minutes or until the fish begins to flake.

While the fish bakes, combine the salsa with the cucumber.  Serve the salsa with the fish.
