Sweet pot taking you up to 6 and back to 4s in an hour is a great profile for a non-diabetic, superb for a T2.

I love fennel seeds when they're all roasted and crispy, good with sauteed or roasted potatoes too I think

I just picture being chased by a plate of pickled beetroot!
We enjoy it .. has become a habit. The kid is most calm while walking and we have a lovely time laughing and joking together.

I have bought some apple cider vinegar capsules though .. will be trying them this week.

I use them in a lot of cooking. My favourite is Taralli Pugliese, a circular breadstick served with olives before dinner, You can buy them but homemade are much better. Take care though, they are addictive.

Taralli Pugliesi Recipe

Recreate this classic Pugliese bread at home with Valeria's taralli recipe. Great for snacking, or to accompany a variety of antipasti at your next dinner party.
