Diabetes365 day 4 Thursday, October 11, 2007
Whenever I make an apple pie at night the children always want a slice for breakfast. And it's got fruit and other good things, so why not let them.Today is day 4 of my diabetes365 project. And you can see the children's breakfast on the right and my oatmeal on the left.
Because of diabetes I've changed how I approach baking. I make the pie crust with a mixture of white and whole wheat white flour. It still tastes yummy and the addition of the whole wheat white lowers the glycemic index (a little) so the carbs don't hit my system as quickly. Recently I started making a pie with only a single pie crust which also lowers the total carbohydrate count for a slice of pie.
If you're interested, I made the pie with local Honeycrisp apples. These are wonderful for baking with and make really great pies.
Of course this morning all this work was a moot point, as I ended up having some oatmeal for breakfast! The things we do to control our blood sugars.
