As I strolled through the
produce aisle at the supermarket with my daughter and as I watched her little
eyes glitter with awe at the infinite range of colors and shapes on display, I
felt inspired.
I have been a low carb diet aficionada for quite a few years now, almost nine,
introduced by a fellow pre-diabetic and it has worked fine. But the strive to
create fun and interesting meals with extremely low carb counts has made me
focus on cheeses, eggs, meats and deli meats and has kept my interest in
fruits and veggies restricted.
What’s my newest resolution? Although I still won’t go the starchy veggies
route, it’s fresh produce week. Salads and herbs mostly. Cherries, pineapple,
watermelon. Juices too – I normally avoid juices. Of course, if my
daughter wants a serving of pasta or a sandwich I won’t deny her!
