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.

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
2 tbsp lemon juice

With food processor running, drop garlic through the feed tube to mince. Stop machine and add the basil; process until chopped.  Add the juice, oil, salt and pepper; process to make a thin, wet rub.

Prepare grill to a medium-hot fire. Brush grate with oil and grill the pork chops over direct heat, turning once, until of desired doneness. Internal temperature should reach at least 145 degrees.
