Hello friends!
So, after a turn of unexpected events, I am actually here in Dallas, TX caring for my mother who was recently hospitalized and in the ICU. She is doing ok- thank God- and being here puts things into perspective. Taking care of and cooking and cleaning for my mother, who always took care of and fed me. . I would do anything for this woman. She and my dad are growing old and need to watch their health. . they have been trying to change their diets, cut out salt, cut out white rice etc. . so I made this dish for my mother and my daughter (who is almost 5 yrs old) found this recipe in The All-Natural Diabetes Cookbook and said she wanted to make this for hal-mo-nee (grandmother).
So, here’s to my mom. .
