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.

ITALIAN CAULIFLOWER BITES

1 cup Panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
salt, optional
black pepper to taste
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 large eggs, whisked until blended
sugar-free or low-sugar marinara sauce for dipping

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the Panko, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt (if using), and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Dip cauliflower florets in the whipped eggs then into the Panko mixture. Coat thoroughly but lightly and place individually on the parchment lined baking sheet. You may have to press some of the panko onto the cauliflower.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until browned and crunchy.

Serve with the warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

Note: These bites are snacks or appetizers. Do not make a meal of them.
