Readers:I haven't been feeling my best lately. I've been a bit stressed out. With a baby on the way, getting the house ready for the little guy and looking to get a new car I've had quite a bit on my mind.
Stress is always a big factor when it comes to managing diabetes, or any illness for that matter. Sometimes I forget to take a minute to make sure that I'm firing on all cylinders.
It's always important to take time to make sure you're feeling your best. Most know that your health can turn on you at a moments notice, so you'll always benefit from being on top of your well being.
So make sure to take time to take care of yourself. I know I am.

Watch It Now: The Diabetic's Daily Shots****-- Diabetic Recipe --*Apple Cheddar PopoversServings: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Ingredients* cooking spray
* 1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith or Fuji, peeled, cored, and chopped
* 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
* 2 large eggs
* 1 cup flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup 1% milk
* 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
Directions1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly coat 8 popover cups with cooking spray. (If you don't have a popover pan, you can use a muffin tin.)
2. Place 1 tablespoon each of the apple and cheese at the bottom of each popover cup.
3. In a food processor or blender, combine eggs, flour, and salt. Process until well blended. (If you don't have a food processor or a blender, you can use a handmixer.)
4. With the machine running, add milk and margarine through the feed tube (if using a food processor-otherwise, add these a little bit at a time to the blender or bowl). Process until smooth.
5. Fill the cups two-thirds full with the batter.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and continue to bake for another 20 minutes until popovers are puffed and golden brown.
7. Let cool at least 15 minutes, then remove from pan.
