An article in the Washington Post featured the ever-amazing chef extraordinaire B. Smith.
Smith has teamed with Merck and Co. and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists on Journey for Control, an online diabetes education program aimed at patients and health-care professionals. Healthy recipes, nutrition and exercise tips are included. Participants in the program also applied to have their own recipes updated by Smith.
Now I am not a fan of cheesecake, but apparently, B.

The cheesecake is baked in a whole-grain graham cracker crust.”
I want people to live a good life and know that there are things you can do enjoy a healthy lifestyle. For example, drink more water, cut out the pork, eat more salads (spinach, not lettuce), and recognize dessert is not a requirement for dinner.
Stay up fam,
