  2. My husband and I were able to buy a house in the same city where I was born and raised. And thus, I will be able to visit my mom and dad frequently. I am very excited about that. I would like to cook for my mom some of her healthy meals. She really loves Broccoli Salad, so that will be one of them. Thank you for all these recipes. I found helpful how to prepare chicken breast the healthy way.

    • Hey Ann 🙂 That’s great that you were able to buy your house where you were raised!

      I’m happy that broccoli salad is one that you will enjoy, but I’m sure that you will enjoy all of the others too.

      It’s awesome to have recipes when you’re a diabetic that won’t raise your blood sugar.

      As diabetics, we all need alternate options for eating that won’t affect blood sugar levels.

      Thank you for sharing 🙂
