      Hey Carolina. I received a comment from a scammer. Nicegram account posing as Mama Baird and asking for a response in order to collect a prize. So sorry,, I know it's gotta be frustrating for creators to deal with this nonsense.

    That seasoning you did for nuts sounds delicious! I got 2 big bags of almonds in my pickup last week so thanks for a yummy recipe to use!😋

    We have one of those coolers that you plug into the cigarette lighter. Ours can go hot or cold so that is kind of cool. We also now have a hot logic lunch bag. One of your subscribers introduced me to it. My husband keeps it at work in his tool box. In the morning he puts something in it and by lunch it is heated. No need to wait in line for a microwave. They come with either a cigarette or regular 110 outlet plug in.

    Carolina sweetie I have a few hopefully helpful suggestions to help u out maybe
    Heat peanut butter in the microwave or by letting sit in hot water (just remember to remove ALL the foil seal)
    honey let it sit in hot water it will become liquid form
    Wen possible like the nuts after making ur egg whites lil extra frothy mix ur sugar and spices and coat or coat ur nuts with the egg whites then add sugar and spices coat nuts
    With ur Cheerios u could actually use a baking sheet on the stove top using two burners of course to toast (maybe make ur butter clarified or us gee that may cut back on the sogginess)
    Wen making some u could mix all the dry and then add the wet just suggestions thinking work smarter not harder

    Baby carrots are full size carrots that were broken or ugly. They get sent through a grinder that forms that little baby carrot shape. Problem is it takes all the harder outer part and leaves the more watery core. Baby carrots have the wrong texture and less carrot taste. Whole carrots only. 😂

    For the energy balls next time mix the peanut butter, vanilla & honey together before you mix in the dry ingredients. Also I know you are supposed to only use setting #2 to knead bread dough in the KitchenAid. That energy ball dough is so stiff you probably shouldn't use above #2. Better IMO would be mix peanut butter, honey & vanilla together. Mix in the rest EXCEPT the oatmeal using the mixer. Then mix in the oatmeal by hand.

    I see you gave her a lot of meat but as I understand processed meat (like sausage) and high fat meat (pork) is very bad for diabetics. Red meats als must be eaten with caution. Best would be fish and poultry.
    THat is what they advise over here based on the newest research, are the guidelines different in the US?

      I just looked that up and you are correct! Thanks for pointing that out! I'm new in the diabetics journey! I'll make sure to change that in the future!! Thank you!
