I love the idea of D-Feast Friday. Today is the very first and it's a chance for diabetes bloggers to mention a favorite recipe. Doesn't have to be low carb or "diabetes-friendly" (whatever that means).
If you know me, then you know I'm not exactly a whiz in the kitchen. 
Luckily, I'm married to a great cook and I know a ton of people in the restaurant business. That's why my book is called I Can't Cook, But I Know Someone Who Can. I donate all the money we make to JDRF ($12,000 and counting!).
Luckily, I'm married to a great cook and I know a ton of people in the restaurant business. That's why my book is called I Can't Cook, But I Know Someone Who Can. I donate all the money we make to JDRF ($12,000 and counting!). The book includes recipes and advice from Charlotte's best chefs – along with my kitchen disasters. For D-Feast, I'm including a recipe by Johnson & Wales University Dean of Culinary, Chef Mark Allison. His Sunset Slaw is out of this world.
I met Chef Allison while judging a kids' cooking contest at J&W. We got to talking and for some reason, I mentioned Benny. Turns out, Chef Allison's son was diagnosed with type 1 at 11 months. We're good friends now, and I can't wait to tell you more about the cookbook he's working on!

Looks beautiful and tasty! Thanks for the book reminder! What a perfect fit!
Sounds tasty, I’m going to have to try it!
Some time before, I really needed to buy a building for my business but I didn’t have enough cash and could not purchase anything. Thank God my brother adviced to get the loans from trustworthy creditors. Hence, I did so and was happy with my credit loan.
