I love the low fat factor (under 300 calories!) and the flavor profile. Don't believe that I've ever added leek to pasta before but it sure works well :D. If you like things just a bit off the beaten path and really make you feel that you have discovered something that you'll want to tell friends you thought of yourself, this is it (and yes, that was all one sentence,lol). Best of all, for me, it's diabetic acceptable without making changes. It tastes great, it's easy to make and it already diabetic friendly. Thats a win, win, win recipe to me.

<p>? Hi! My name is Teresa.? My husband and I like to take RV trips but it seems lately we just us it for vintage motorcross races. I enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, have done some rock climbing but age is creeping up on my poor old bones. Anything to do with the outdoors I enjoy, so why do I live in rainy Washington state? We have 2 wonderful children, both grown. My son lives in LA and my daughter and her husband recently moved back in the area with their little boy...our grandson... who just turned?5 years old. We have a granddaughter who lives close by...she just turned 23 this year. She's a sweetheart.? Life is good when you have a son and a?daughter and they?gift?you with a granddaughter and grandson. :)??</p>
