Alan is here in NC with us so our menu at all meals has changed to accommodate his diabetic restrictions and not only are we feeling better and losing weight we are learning new recipes and how to put twists on our old recipes to make them work... it's been fun and I'm excited to try homemade diabetic friendly BBQ sauce, which is on the agenda for Saturday!
