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.

SALMON CHEESE BALL

Here is a different cheese ball recipe for diabetics. The salmon makes this party food a better choice for diabetics, unfortunately this diabetic doesn't like salmon. 

1lb can red salmon

1 tbsp lemon juice

8-oz low-fat cream cheese, softened

1/4 tsp salt, optional

1 tsp horseradish

1/4 tsp liquid smoke

2 tsp finely grated onion

1/2 cup chopped pecans for rolling

3 tbsp chopped parsley

Drain salmon, put into a bowl. Remove the skin and bones.

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Mold into a ball and refrigerate.

Before serving, roll the chilled ball in the parsley and pecans.

Serve with party breads, crackers, fresh veggies.
