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.

CHIVE-CHEDDER CORNBREAD

I love cornbread! Actually, it is one of my favorite foods. As all you diabetics know, cornbread is not one of our "best" foods to eat. Here is an old recipe that I reworked to make it more diabetic-friendly. Reminder: This is a bread, not a meal; eat accordingly. Only you know your body and what it is capable of handling. If you can't handle this, leave it for those who can and move on.

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup Splenda Granulated
4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp minced chives

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, Splenda, and baking powder.

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and oil. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Gently fold in the cheese and chives. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake at 400 degrees 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Yield: 15 servings

Note: This recipe is easily halved for a lesser quantity. I like to make the full recipe so I can refrigerate some then warm it in the microwave later.
