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.

MOCK APPLE CRISP - KETO FRIENDLY

 The basics of this recipe are from something I saw on Low Carb Yum.

  • 6 cups zucchini peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup Splenda or 4 Tbsp 2 tsp Truvia
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon apple extract, optional

TOPPING:

1/2 cup pecans chopped

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup oat fiber or coconut flour

1/4 cup Splenda or erythritol

teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter

In medium bowl, combine zucchini, lemon juice, sweetener, cinnamon and nutmeg until well blended. For a stronger apple taste, stir in apple extract too. Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 9-in. baking dish.

For topping, combine pecans, almond flour, oat fiber, sweetener and cinnamon in a bowl then cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the zucchini mixture.

Bake at 350 F for 45-50 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
