April 22, 2018 at 7:50 pmThis is a winner!!! I have to limit my grains, sugar, carbs and dairy right now and its so hard to find recipes. You have so many good recipes that I can eat. I can’t tell you how many I have tried and they have all been so good. Today I also made your baked fries with garlic sauce. I could have eaten the whole bowl. Luckily for me my husband is home so I shared! I also made your broccoli fritters. Delicious!!!! Meal prep for the week is exciting with your recipes! Thank you.
