So, a couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. I went from “my life is over” to “this sucks” to “this diet is retarded” and, after tonight, to “OK”. I went grocery shopping the other day (which, by the way, is expensive when you have to buy only from the OUTSIDE of the market). Today I invited my brother and his family over for dinner. If I do say so myself it was YUMMY. And, to make it even better, every I made was 100% diet approved (my doctor’s diet, not my modified “this diet is retarded diet”).

So, in case you’re wondering here’s what we had Baked Chicken Strips with Mustard, Almond, and Parmesan with Roasted Asparagus and Garlic and Salad with Red & Orange Bell Peppers and Litehouse Organic Caesar Dressing.  All I can say is YUM!  And, it was all super easy.

My other hit meal this week:  Egg Muffins.   I made a batch (they are definitely best straight from the oven) and refrigerated the rest.  They are pretty good reheated.

I know I’ll be making all these recipes again.  In fact, I might go get some more asparagus for this week.

So, since I’ve been forced to get my blood sugar under control, I might have a small advantage.  As my sister said “you’ll be the skinny one in the family soon”.  That might be a great result of this bad news.

Till later…
