Recipe: Peggy’s Indian Cabbage |  Diabetic Mediterranean Diet

From Peggy at Buttoni’s Low-Carb Recipes:

If you think you don’t like cabbage (like my husband) you have GOT to try this recipe! You’ll swear you don’t eat cabbage!! No cabbage odor or strong taste whatsoever to this dish!

But we still have the best healthcare system in the world, right? Not if you judge it by life expectancy. From Health System Tracker:

Coconut Orange Breakfast Bars – JennifersKitchen

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free Coconut Breakfast Bars

One thing I do not do:

Spend more than 10 minutes in the morning preparing breakfast. When it’s breakfast time, I want to eat – not measure, stir, cook, chop, or bake.

That means that make-ahead breakfasts are a regular part of my meals. Preparing breakfast ahead of time means that either my crockpot or my freezer always has something delicious waiting for me in the morning.

Like these Coconut Orange Breakfast Bars.

Naturally sweet, these Coconut Orange Breakfast Bars are packed with both flavor and nutrition. And they’re freezer-friendly, so you can have a stash in the freezer for
