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.

GRILLED RIBEYE PORK CHOPS WITH HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE

Chops 

4 pork chops (approximately 1-inch thick
salt to taste, optional 
freshly ground black pepper to taste
olive or canola oil for brushing

Preheat grill to medium-high and brush with the oil.

Season pork chops with the salt and pepper; place on grill. Grill chops 8 to 10 minutes (or until done to your liking - internal temperature at least 145 degrees), turning once during grilling. Remove from the grill to a platter and tent the platter with foil; allow to rest for 3 minutes.

BBQ SAUCE:
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tsp Splenda brown sugar blend
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 15 minutes; remove from heat.

Once the sauce is cooled, puree in a blender or food processor.

To serve, place sauce over the pork chops.

Yield: 4 servings.
