Good morning everybody!

Rutabaga fries.
Have them with a nice Steak or with ground beef at night and it will feel like a "cheat dinner" without cheating!

The hardest part about this recipe is peeling the Rutabaga, so what you do is, you cut the Rutabaga in half and then in half again, don't feel bad that when you peel it you lose some of the white part, it's completely normal!

Measure the rutabaga peeled and not with the skin, for your two cups of vegetables. Don't be afraid to add some cajun spice to make them even tastier!

Since insulin is generally in excess of what is required and too much sugar is removed from the blood, your body will be in a state of hypoglycemia and demand more sugar. A vicious cycle sets in.

Study shows fast food restaurants have a long way to go to get their menus to a standard considered healthy.
