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.

CAULIFLOWER STUFFING

The title is a misnomer. This is not really a stuffing, as it is used as a side to a protein item such as chicken or turkey. This recipe is great for diabetics as it uses no bread.

1/4 cup olive oil
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 small heads cauliflower, chopped (about 10 cups)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp minced fresh rosemary, crushed
1 tsp rubbed sage

In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook and stir until crisp-tender, about ten minutes. Add cauliflower, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, rosemary and sage. Bring to a boil them reduce heat. Cover and simmer until vegetables are just tender, about 10-12 minutes.
