Reader Recipe: Diabetic Chocolate Mousse Pie
One of my parent's closest friends is diabetic. Unfortunately, I didn't find out until after I made a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies for him.

Speak Up: If Calories Didn't Count, What Would Be Your Indulgence?
There are no foods that are off-limits for me, since I don't believe it's healthy to deprive myself.
