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.

RASPBERRY FUDGE BALLS

I do not recommend this recipe or any other candy recipe as a regular part of a diabetic's diet. I do think this is a good recipe for special occasions, holidays and/or as a gift for a diabetic.

1 brick (8-oz) low-fat cream cheese, softened
1 pkg (6-oz) sugar-free chocolate chips, melted
3/4 cup sugar-free vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup seedless no-added-sugar raspberry preserves
finely chopped almonds or pecans, for rolling
cocoa powder, for rolling
Swerve powdered sugar, for rolling

In a bowl combine the softened cream cheese and the melted chocolate until well blended.  Stir in the vanilla wafer crumbs and the raspberry preserves.  Chill mixture several hours up to overnight.  Remove from 'fridge and roll mixture into 1-inch balls.  Roll the balls in the toppings listed above.

Yield: Approximately 3 dozen
