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.

GARLIC HERB OVEN ROASTED POTATOES

1 1/4 lb baby potatoes, halved

1 lb medium carrots, scrubbed clean, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 oz. zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, minced

Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and set a rack to the middle.
In a large bowl, toss together potatoes carrots with 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, rosemary and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet—Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Toss zucchini in a bowl with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season lightly with salt. Add to the baking sheet with other potatoes and carrots. Add minced garlic and toss everything and spread into an even layer. Return to oven and roast until all of the veggies are tender and slightly browned, about 20 minutes longer. Serve warm.

Personally, I recommend always eating a lean protein item with these veggies.
