My last blog was in 2014 during the holidays. I have had many people ask me to start blogging again so here I am! I think I am going to expand the blog - maybe not all abut Type 2 Diabetes this time around - maybe more about the challenges of all chronic diseases, aging in general, and how what we eat and how much we move can impact how well we age, and most importantly how exercise in general can impact your mental state.
My mom is a great example of this - at 81, she is still very independent, drives, keeps busy with her art and church and her friends...and this impacts her in a very positive way.
If any of you have topics you would like me to expand on here in my blog, please let me know! I have had people in the heath care industry reach out to me and do guest blogging so I may have some guests blog as well!
I love to cook and sort of "invent" dishes that are more heart friendly. Tonight I am making a "mock apple pie" - it's so easy! And delicious! And, it will help you survive a sweet craving!
I am not claiming it is as good as real Apple Pie - it isn't, but it tastes great - and you can even put a portion of no sugar added frozen vanilla yogurt on it!
Ingredients
- 4 apples, cored and cut into bite size pieces-leave peeling on(that's where the fiber is)
- 1 cup quick cooking oats - use 3/4 cup mixed and save 1/4 cup for topping
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Truvia baking sugar
- 1/2 stick real butter cut in slices
- 1/4 cup Canola Oil
Pre-heat oven to 350' Once the apples are cut and diced - place in a bowl and toss with the other ingredients (except the butter and 1/4 cup quick cooking oats) Pour into a pie plate sprayed with Pam cooking spray. Top with additional oats and place the butter slices all over the top and bake on 350' for 30 minutes or until bubbly browned on top. Enjoy!
