New year, new stuff

I've been saying for a very long time that I wanted to start a food blog. As a diabetic person it's important that I keep an eye on my blood sugar, my A1C, triglycerides, blood pressure, etc etc etc... For a really long time I didn't care. Then I had kids. I was still pretty over weight, so about a year ago I decided enough was enough. I lost 65 pounds, and lowered my blood sugar. I did this with a few methods (please keep in mind that I'm not an MD and you should consult your Dr. before starting any diet plan or following some idiot, like me, on the internet). I turned to eating mostly vegetarian, only rarely eating some fish and even more rare eating poultry. (I do sneak a hotdog on occasion, it's fat guy kryptonite). I stopped eating so much bread, and wheat. I gave up eating most of my dairy. I started taking vitamins, and added a little exercise (and by a little that's what I mean). I also stopped drinking diet soda, which I love. So why am I telling you this? I would like to start sharing the recipes I created to make my food life bearable. You won't see much meat at all. The food is really good though, for that you'll have to take my word unless you get lucky enough to come to one of our dinner parties.

I'll also use this space to add photos of the food, and photos of the places I visit and/or things I shoot during the week. I'll try to post every Sunday, with the menus from the previous week. I'll also add stuff during the week when I work on different projects. For fun I'll add a few photos from a trip I took last week.

Thanks for reading, even though I know no one is there right now...
