To save me from this fate, T3 will order them and let me have 2 off his plate I get a taste without the BG excursion.<br /><br />I had given up cold cereal without realizing it. Last week I bought some Kashi Go Lean Crunch, thinking it would be better than most. It, with a peach and skim milk this am, sent my BG soaring.

Chinese, pizza, pasta, Indian are the ones that come to mind.<br /><br />As far as pretzels go, I love soft pretzels, but hard pretzels don't do anything for me. Auntie Anne's cinnamon sugar pretzels are absolutely decadent, but I almost never eat them. As good as they are, they're more trouble than they're worth. If they had kiddie-sized ones, I'd go to the mall just to get one though :)Lee Ann Thillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444534323119682711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-91822850034748191382010-08-31T20:10:28.238-04:002010-08-31T20:10:28.238-04:00Peanut Butter.

They sell them every Wed. at her school and I say no. Last time she had one, she skyrocketed to the 300's and stayed there for hours. It makes me sad for her cause on every street corner, as you know, there is a soft pretzel place. I miss them.<br /><br />I thought I was the only one in the world who put cream cheese on hard pretzels. Sigh, I'm not the only one.<br /><br />So, no more soft pretzels around here anymore and no more cotton candy on the boards...Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-47818005125311159262010-08-31T12:55:47.719-04:002010-08-31T12:55:47.719-04:00I dread the days Sugar wants pancakes for breakfas...I dread the days Sugar wants pancakes for breakfast....EEK!!!!!

I blame pregnancy because I was fine before I started having kids.
