| I've learned a number of useful things reading the group's posts for the
| past week. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
|
| One of the ways I'd like to give back to the group is sharing some of the
| recipes I've come up with since I was diagnosed w/ T2 a couple of months
| ago. I've got a bit of culinary experience and have decided to use that to
| learn more low fat, low carb techniques and "improve" some
| recipes I've always enjoyed.
|
| I'll precede each message with REC: so if this isn't interesting to you
| just build a filter to ignore them.

| Pete Romfh, new T2, no meds yet and trying to be a good diabetic.
