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.

QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN & SAUSAGE JAMBALAYA

1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces

1/2 lb smoked sausage, cut into slices
1 pkg (6.8-oz) rice and vermicelli mix with Spanish seasoning
2 cups water
1 can (14-oz) seasoned chunky no-salt-added tomatoes with juice 

Spray a large nonstick skillet (that has a lid) with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.  Add the chicken and cook about 5 minutes, stirring often, or until lightly browned.  Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Cook the rice and vermicelli in the skillet, stirring almost constantly, until golden brown.  Gradually stir in the seasoning from the mix, the water, and the tomatoes; bring to a boil.  Stir in the sausage and the browned chicken.  Place lid on skillet and cook on low approximately 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and chicken is cooked through.  Stir occasionally during this time.
