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.

EASY TIRAMISU BOWL

Dairy products (full fat) are good for diabetics, so refrain from using low-fat milk. Also, up to 1-ounce a day of dark chocolate is healthy for diabetics. When buying dark chocolate, look for 75% to 90% cacao/cocoa. Raspberries have the lowest glycemic index of the berries, so enjoy.

1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, softened

3 cups cold milk
2 pkgs (3.4 oz each) sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix
1 tub (8-oz) sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
48 sugar-free vanilla wafers
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
2 squares unsweetened dark chocolate, grated
1 cup fresh raspberries
Extra whipped topping for garnish, if desired

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk and pudding mix. Stir in 2 cups whipped topping.

Line a 2 1/2-quart clear glass bowl with 1/2 the vanilla wafers and drizzle with half the coffee. Top with 1/2 the pudding mixture and 1/2 the grated chocolate. Repeat the process starting with the remaining vanilla wafers.

Garnish the top with the remaining whipped topping and the fresh raspberries.
