fat be trimmed off. The pesto rub is also a terrific dip for
fresh vegetables or a sauce for steamed vegetables.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a few weeks ago, after a bout
of acute pancreatitis followed by gallbladder surgery. I already have
multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia and GERD, among other things. My time
and energy are very limited. So cooking a lot of meals from scratch is
a major stressor for me. Can anyone suggest some diabetic-friendly
pre-packaged or frozen foods, and/or quick and tasty recipes that can
be made from such ingredients? Thanks in advance for any help you can
offer.
