Chicken Poached in Brining Liquid
Here's one I tried recently. It makes a very tender, moist chicken breast with nice flavor. I poached a bunch of them and used them throughout the week on salads. They are very versatile. http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/7763-perfect-poached-chicken-breasts

A1C News
I went in for a "follow up" doctor's appointment (which I really wasn't supposed to have, but I forgot to take it out of my appointment book) and was surprised when my doctor suggested doing an A1C in the office. I had no idea that they could give you the results in 6 minutes. In any event, I was diagnosed on the last day…

Glycemic Index and other questions
I'm still a newbie (was diagnosed at the end of July), but I'm trying to make sense of this disease, and there is so much conflicting information out there.

Acceptable Substitutions
I was diagnosed about a month ago. The fact that my choices were having a real impact on my health and, let's face it, my life expectancy, really hit home. I was living as if I was in my 20's, when in reality I'm double that :-). I had to face that it was time for some serious changes to happen. I've been counting my carbs…

I was looking forward to stepping on the scale this morning!
I had a great couple of days..went on several long hikes, was generally more active, stayed with the eating routine. I was really looking forward to seeing my progress at the end of the weekend. To my astonishment, I actually gained 2/10 of a pound. I've been at this for 6 weeks now, and although I feel better, and yes, my…
