Hi There CatladyOKC :) Home made! The BEST!! I'm baking tonight. The kitchen smells so good. What are "Wasp Nests"? Never heard of these. Thanks and have a great evening.

Old recipe of my moms, a macaroon that uses a carmelized pecan that has been cut lenght wise is strips (4-5) also has shaved chocolate added to the macaroon, but just folded in so it shows up as specks. When they are eaten the inside looks like a wasp nest. I will not be making any of the things I listed, since I have to watch my sugar.

Oh stop it you lot!!!!! Just the smell of all that delicious stuff puts weight on me boohoo

OH YUMMY! Sounds like I need some recipes! btw what is wasp nests? are those made with butter scotch chips and chow mien noodles? If so I make those and they are yummy! Cat lady I think you have some recipes to post! lol :)

Need to find the recipes, have not made them for several years & I am still going to put most of these recipes in my computer recipe program one of these days, but would rather puzzle!

Org. Dec 11, 2012 - Gingerbread Men - comment w/toadlove. (search Gingerbread Men - will be last one on the screen when you bring the puzzle up! )

Thank you Cat lady! I will have to look those up and I understand I think there are many days I would rather puzzle too! :)

Still looking in my recipes for the Wasp Nest one,
most of those I mention were old German recipes, that my Dad translated from ones of my Great-granmother's. Have been in our family for many, many years. Will let you know when I find it.

Thanks. :) Wow that is neat. I love recipes that have been passed down. I have a few of those myself from my grandmother. Makes me think of those special times I had with her every time I make them. I always enjoyed cooking with her. :)

I prefer to make Dark Chocolate truffles with toasted coconut over white but...they do look good too!!

Dark Chocolate is my fave so that sounds very yummy!

Cherry Mash. made in St Joseph, mo. my favorite.

I know what you mean, I keep losing it...usually under something else.

Hi hockeyfan
sorry to hear you are in the same boat as me, been like it for 30 year just be careful and enjoy life

I was diagnosed prediabetic....cutting out CARBS is actually much more important than sweets. Carbs turn into sugar. Google it. Unfortunately, doctors don't know much about nutrition and what happens to food in the body. It's long been told that sugar is what makes insulin in your body go haywire and to a point is is. But carbs are a bigger factor. I cut out almost all carbs which in turn made me lose 15 pounds and am no longer prediabetic...no bread, pasta, processed food, cakes, cookies, etc. I do have the occasional treat and am happy to say that I'm very healthy at a few months shy of 60. Try it and see if it doesn't work!

Lydiagintn, thank you for replying and the info you gave me. I did just what you said you did.......gave up processed foods, pasta, breads, etc. and I have lost 15 lbs. as well and fell great. I, too, have the occasional treat. I'm 67 and of great health. Your absolutely right, carbs are the secret to losing weight. My husband disagrees and refuses to give them up and can't lose a pound. Carbs may not be what some people need to worry about but it sure is for me. Again thanks for your insight. I'm happy for both of us in losing weight. I'm always looking on internet for info on diabetes since I'm border line diabetic. Keep me posted if you find anything new on it. :-)

Good for you, I'm 70 & was in the predibetic group at 62, have been bringing it down this year has been the best yet. Watch what I eat & have lost 42 pounds, I also try to walk 1-2 miles per day. If the weather is bad I have several indoor walking DVD's that I can walk with in small area, & works great.

I also walk indoors when weather is bad. I walk for a half hour each day. Glad your bringing your sugar level down. Hope when I go back to dr. he says mine is down.
