Have you every felt like you are going back in time? This week I did. My big sister, who lives in Georgia, came to visit for a few days. We were both raised as farm girls and spent much of our young lives eating and cooking our favorite recipes. So naturally when we get together, we want to reconstruct "old times." This usually includes noodles, dumplings and all of the fixins. At present, my sister is a borderline diabetic and I am the kid sister who can only see the borderline of obesity in my rear view mirror. In other words, we both need to break some bad habits.
This visit with my sister wasn't spent entirely in the kitchen or nearby restaurants. When I went to my favorite eatery, I made better, more healthy choices. I realized that I still had a great time and can have a wonderful fellowship without the presence of gravy. Ha!
I did indulge in a few chocolate treats and am hoping that I don't have to pay too big of a price on the scales this week. Life is sweet afterall!
