There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1
Dawn of 2023 has meant a time to slow down on my love for food. It hasn’t been an easy fact to accept, but sucks as it might, I’ve had to cut back on enjoying the many delights of carbs and sugars. Let’s be honest them things are mighty tasty and wonderful! But there comes a time when one has to make a choice. I am calling this a time to heal. Ok so I’m not giving them up completely, just cutting back for the time being. So in order to lower my FBS, I’ve been experimenting on having soups and salads for dinner. Here is the recipe for one of them that turned out surprisingly well. Studies have shown that rocket or arugula have many health benefits including preventing/controlling type 2 diabetes.
Ham and Rocket Salad
