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.

OVEN FRIED FISH FILLETS

It is important to use the flour and breadcrumbs called for. Do not use regular white flour and regular white breadcrumbs as they are not good for diabetics.

2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour, almond flour, or your favorite low-carb flour
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 lb fish fillets
1/2 cup fine whole-grain breadcrumbs or your favorite low-car crumbs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the oven, melt butter in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Add the olive oil and stir to blend; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the egg, water and lemon juice.


In a shallow pan or dish, combine the flour, onion salt and pepper.

Coat the fish fillets with the flour mixture then dip in egg mixture. Roll in the breadcrumbs. Place fillets in the baking dish, turning to coat with the butter/oil mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Yield: 4 servings.
