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.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt (Note, I use Greek yogurt as it has less sugar)
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise (Note, I only use olive oil mayonnaise)
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons bacon bits


In a large pot of boiling water, cook cauliflower 8 to 10 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add cauliflower and remaining ingredients to dressing; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
