Yes, yes, yes. I still cringe when I hear ,"Are you still on that diet?" My family is Italian so you can imagine the reactions when I turn down the pasta. My grandma used to think thin was anyone slightly smaller than Orson Welles.

BUT! Eventually my family (and your's too, I hope) has come to accept my woe, if not fully understand it. My mother is diabetic so she came around a little quicker than the rest.

Are you having a pot luck? Perhaps this is your opportunity to show them how well you can eat. Browse the recipe collection and whip something up to take to Easter dinner.

Good luck!
