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.

BROCCOLI, BACON, EGG CASSEROLE

I have a hard time making myself eat eggs but can do them when I have them mixed in with other foods. This is a good way for me to get them down and it is diabetic friendly.
  • 12 large eggs
  • 16 ounces low-fat or fat-free sour cream
  • 12 ounces reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli, cooked and chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or dish with nonstick olive oil spray
  • Put eggs and sour cream in blender with salt and pepper. Blend well.
  • Put half the cheese into the prepared baking pan or dish, followed by the bacon, the broccoli and then the rest of the cheese.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the whole thing.
  • Bake 45-55 minutes, until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Note: I got this recipe from lowcarbyum 9 or 10 years ago.
