I LOVE sweets. However, doc says my glucose is getting borderline and to cut out the Twinkies and whatnot (he was smiling as he said this as he knows I am the ultimate chocoholic). Anyway, I know I need to eat more veggies so I'm trying different things with that. Right now I have a huge bowl of boiled baby carrots smothered in some homemade leftover garlic butter and I fear I will eat the whole thing. I'm so bad.
