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.

CAPPUCCINO COOKIES

I took a recipe (and photo) from a Diabetes Self Management magazine and changed it from a regular devil's food cake to a sugar-free mix which suits me better. However, the nutritional info at the end is based on a regular devil's food cake mix.

1 pkg (approx 18-oz) sugar-free devil's food cake mix
8 egg whites
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1 tbsp instant coffee granules
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, using a spatula, mix the cake mix, egg whites, coffee and cinnamon until well blended.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the parchment lined baking sheets.

Bake at 400 degrees 5 minutes or until the centers are set. Cool on the cookie sheets 1 minute then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar, if desired.
