I am an CFO in Springfield, MO but I love to come up with new recipes. My family all say that I have a knack for it and I missed my calling! lol I am really trying to come up with as many low carb recipes as I can. I have several family members and friends who are diabetic and I diet using the low-carb method. So it is good for all of us!
