HI all ! I am Sheila - a meat rabbit breeder -live in the middle of
Mexico - T2 - dxed three years ago but think I have had it for about 8.
About to go on insulin as the orals are not doing it for me.
Love to cook but really pressed for time since our main meal is at 2
pm - so always am looking for time savers. Here we do not have access
to all the special foods that there are in the US. Which is sometimes
annoying but on the whole maybe healthier all around.
Please excuse my grammer and English - I very very seldom use English.

One of the things that I do as a time saver is buy 10 or 12 large meaty
tomatoes at a time. Drop in boiling water for 3 minutes - peel - put
on a cookie sheet in the freezer not touching - when frozen put in
large zip-lock bag in the freezer. This makes it very easy to add a
chopped tomato to just about anything.
Would love to hear from all of you - your special time savers.

2 cloves garlic, minced

Dietitian’s tip: Fat-free mayonnaise adds sodium, so use
unsalted canned tuna to keep the total amount of sodium
down. For variety, add cucumber or tomato slices, 1 tsp
raisins, 1 Tbsp chopped apples or 1/2 tsp chopped fresh
chives to each sandwich.
Serves 4
2 cans (6 oz each) unsalted white tuna packed in water, drained
1/2 cup diced celery
1 tsp lemon juice
1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
4 lettuce leaves
8 slices whole-wheat bread
