I’ve been browsing Pinterest and blogs all day in search of party ideas for my little one’s upcoming first birthday.  I’ve had so much fun but I realize that I have so much to do!  In my searching for pink treats I ran across this free Diabetic Sweets & Treats Recipe Guide.  It’s full of yummy recipes that I plan to attempt.  I may even use one of their pies and add a little sugar-free strawberry Jello to it to make it pretty and pink for my daughter’s party.  I bet that my diabetic family members would appreciate a sugar-free treat just for them!  In case you’re curious, I’ll be posting lots of pictures of the party, party prep, and the birthday girl.  If you want to try these yummy-looking treats for yourself click the image above to request your free book!
