Because I’m not supposed to have carbs, this is one of the meals that I have when I make Bacon Cheeseburgers for my guys. It’s so yummy that I always go back for seconds.

My Detox Soup
I have type 2 Diabetes. It has been a long journey for me & it hasn’t been an easy journey. My entire world revolves around food & how often I eat. This recipe helps me to detoxify my system. When I was first diagnosed, the doctors do what they usually do, put me on expensive pills & constant warnings that if I don’t get this under control, I would need to use insulin. To top it all off, they said that my cholesterol & blood pressure were too high. I was going broke & there didn’t seem to be a way out.
That’s when I went to my chiropractor, who does everything naturally, and asked him if there was a natural way to lower my numbers. He put me on The Page Fundamental Diet. Basically, the diet is, If God didn’t make it, don’t eat it. The diet is in 2 phases. My soup is made from the items that I can have in phase 1.
I am now off all of my pills & my numbers are in the ‘good’ range. What they don’t tell you is that the diabetic diet keeps you diabetic. They also don’t tell you that carbohydrates raise your sugar levels. I must admit, sometimes I fall off the wagon & once you start to eat carbs, you crave them. The only way I can get rid of the cravings is to make my ‘Detox Soup’. I eat it for most meals for about a week. By the end of the week, I’m no longer craving carbs. I tend to make 2 pots of this soup in a week.
This is how I make it:
Texas Sheet Cake
My Mother-In-Law gave me her recipe for Texas Sheet Cake years ago. It’s like a chocolate cake with icing that tastes like fudge. It’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts. It’s easy to make & I’ll show you an easy way to pack it in a lunch! I hope you enjoy it as much as he does.
Chicken Noodle Soup
In my younger years, I went on a quest to gather as many family recipes that I could. This recipe was given to me by my Dad’s sister, Aunt Emma, years ago. It was her mother’s recipe. I’ve tweaked it a little bit, but it’s basically my Grandma’s recipe. Enjoy!
Blender Apple Muffins
This recipe for Apple Muffins is easy to make, is a people pleaser (my guys love it) they make a quick & tasty breakfast, and it packs very well in lunches.
Blender Banana Bread
I got this recipe years ago, when my Mama gave me my first blender. Needless to say, that was a long time ago. Using a blender to make this recipe cuts the preparation time in half. Hubby doesn’t like nuts, but they can be added easily.
Cheese Sloppy Joes
To be honest, this is one of those recipes that takes very little ingredients, is easy to make, and is so good. (ask my son, who had 4 in one day)
I have to give credit where credit is due. This recipe was invented by my ex-mother-in-law. I’ll give her one thing, she was an incredible cook.
Sugar Free Candied Yams
This dish is the one that I’m always asked to bring for holiday dinners. It’s practically sugar free (the sweet potatoes do have natural sugar in them) & it’s something that I can eat without going into sugar shock. It’s easy to make & tastes so good.
Spaghetti Pie
Spaghetti Pie is one of those recipes that I’ve had in my recipe box for years. What does it taste like? Spaghetti pie is a cross between Pizza, Spaghetti & Lasagna all rolled up in one. It’s an easy meal to make & tastes just as good reheated as it did on the day you made it. It has become one of my son’s favorites and he asks to have it packed for his lunch to take to work. I hope you like it… we do.
Reuben Casserole
I was given this recipe by my best friend 20 years ago. Reuben Casserole is one of those meals that sticks to your ribs and is so good that even after going back for second helpings, you still want more. (ask me how I know.)
I hope you try this recipe. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
