  • I can help. I've been following a low carb diet since 2/2011. I need to be filled in on the details, but I have the time. Send me an email. I used to have a bumper sticker on my car that read, "Low Carb Proselyte." After turning my life over to Jesus I changed it to read, "Low Carb Coach."

  • I just made Peggy's French Toast (buttoni.wordpress.com) and found them very satisfying.
