I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My DSO was diagnosed also last February at which time I had stopped posting to my blog. The blog had resulted in my gaining weight, too, despite being a Weight Watcher, so I've resumed on a much smaller scale and with greater attention to healthful eating. I'll be looking forward to your coming recipes and thanks in advance for posting the NI. I'm happy to hear that your son is fine and that this was a wake up call to him.

Sorry to hear that you have diabetes, but your attitude about it sounds wonderful. I wish you the very best luck. I know you'll do great. I also wanted to tell you that I am a big fan of Ellie Krieger's recipes, as well as Cooking Light's recipes. I have found some great recipes with both. Take care of you and your family. <br /><br />The chicken and dumplings look absolutely fantastic. I like the use of the chicken fat (that's something that Michael Symon does as well). Bet it adds lots of flavor to the otherwise bland dumpling.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731435798319897025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-39698045735601178372010-12-11T06:21:30.073-08:002010-12-11T06:21:30.073-08:00God Bless You, Debby :-)God Bless You, Debby :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226469055147549062.post-49518295473782942242010-12-11T05:06:50.843-08:002010-12-11T05:06:50.843-08:00What a month!
