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.

PUMPKIN CRUNCH COBBLER

 This is my diabetic version of a recipe from an Appalachian recipe site a few years ago.

1 can (15-oz) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup Splenda or Stevia granulated
1/4 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup toffee bits (omit if your blood sugar is not controlled)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray; set aside.

Whisk together the pumpkin, Splenda products, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger cloves, salt, cornstarch, eggs, and milk. Pour into the prepared pan.

Stir together the cake mix, pecan pieces, and toffee bits, sprinkle evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Drizzle the butter over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream or refrigerate and serve cold with Cool Whip.

Yield: 12 servings (one serving per day!)
