Its been almost a month since I have started my "new normal" and its been quite the journey. I use to love grocery shopping and now I dread it because I am constantly reading labels and trying to guess if its something I can eat. So if you see me in the grocery store crying you know why! I had a melt down at walmart the other day because I just wanted to buy whatever and I just couldn't. Its all a learning process.
Well this weekend was a learning curve for me. We had our family over for a BBQ. All my favorite things had sugar or something I couldn't eat. So I made my family's favorites with a little twist. I love broccoli salad. So I had to figure out a way to make this "Diabetic" Version. The family tried it and they couldn't even tell the difference. Win for Paige!
