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.

SESAME GINGER CHICKEN

1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

2 tsp grated ginger

2 tbsp honey (may use sugar-free honey, if desired)

2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

4 (4-oz each) skinned, boneless chicken breast halves

Nonstick cooking olive oil spray

Thin green onion strips, optional

Combine the seeds, ginger, honey and soy sauce in a small bowl; stir well and set aside.

Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallot or rolling pin.

Coat a grill rack with cooking spray, place on grill over medium-hot coals or heat. Place chicken on the rack and cook 4 minutes per side. Baste quickly with the soy sauce mixture. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and garnish with the green onions, if desired.
