A favorite!!! Definitely double recipe to keep this around as long as possible.
Kind of weird, but Manda and I loved this with sliced banana.

Sweet! A new blog...another way to internet-stalk you! I love it!
And yes, it was meant to be funny, so I'm glad you liked it...but so far I can't think of any particularly accurate accounts of diabetes portrayed by Hollywood. Like I said, though, I didn't think Steel Magnolias did such a bad job with the minute daily details...just a little macabre/unlikely plotline that haunts the lives of diabetic pregnant women everywhere.
And hey, Christina recently put her kids on a no-dairy and mostly no-meat diet to avoid illness...which I know you guys probably don't want or need to go that far...but she does have a bunch of new healthy/low fat recipes available! ;) This cuban black bean dish sounds kick-butt, by the way.
Oh, and we miss you too! The social scene is just not as fun without you guys around. =(
Wow, that was like a comment novel. Geez. Me and brevity? Also apparently not a good mix. Ha ha.
