Have you fired up your grill yet? We’ve had a rainy spring but every time the sun is shining, we’ve got the grill going. It makes dinner so easy, with practically no clean up. This is one of our standards…easy grilled chicken thighs with Thai Peanut Sauce. It’s fabulous served over cauliflower rice to soak up that delicious sauce!

NOT for me. Since I… Read more »

Wow, I stopped eating most carby foods, but have kept peanut butter on a fairly regular basis…and my A1C went from 6.8 to 4.9 in six months, and has stayed there for five years!
