As a result of my recently having been started on insulin for new onset of diabetes, and my 33 year old daughter's having had pancreatitis from gallstones, I decided that the nutrition training I received in nursing school was not sufficient to live within our dietary restrictions without being tasteless and/or boring. 

Thus, I started digging extensively for recipes that were both satisfying and met our restrictions.  It hasn't been overly easy, but it IS possible.  Knowing that there have to be many more of you out there "in the same boat,"  I am compiling some of the best of the best into a series of recipe books, the first of which (desserts) should be available for purchase by late June 2014. 

I will also be posting one or two a week here for your enjoyment.  Bon appetit.
