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.

COOKIES AND CREAM DESSERT

1 bag sugar-free Oreos, crushed

1 brick (8 oz) low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup "fake" powdered sugar*
3 cups low-fat milk
2 small boxes (4-serving size) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp vanilla
12 oz sugar-free Cool Whip, thawed
In a mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese, butter, powered sugar and vanilla. In separate bowl combine milk and pudding mix; chill until set. Fold in Cool Whip after pudding has set. Add cream cheese mixture, layer with Oreos... Chill until ready to serve!
*There are instructions on this site for making "fake" powdered sugar. There are also sugar-free powdered sugar products available, ie Swerve.

NOTE: Remember this is a dessert. Diabetics should save desserts for special occasions. Have a serving and share the remainder with family and friends. This is a good recipe for family or group meals where you will be able to eat dessert with others but not be tempted to eat too much.
