DFT is back and back with a bang! We couldn't have chosen a better month for the come back, other than NOVEMBER!!
The American Diabetes Association observes Diabetes Month every November. Raising awareness of this ever-growing disease is one of the main efforts behind the mission of the Association. American Diabetes Month® (ADM) is an important element in this effort, with programs designed to focus the nation's attention on the issues surrounding diabetes and the many people who are impacted by the disease.

We have made changes with the badge of DFT! It is more self describing and stands in support of our DFT Chapter.
The Blue Circle on the top is the Universal Blue Circle Symbol for Diabetes, also known as Diabetes mellitus !
The Food Triangle shown at the bottom part of the badge, is the "suggested" food triangle for a diabetic!

When Sonal suggested to pick my 5 favorite DFT recipes for the comeback post, I had a hard time! All the DFT posts are made with much thought given to the content, the ingredients used, their appropriateness to the diabetic population and even to the appeal factor. Food has to not only be healthy, it has to look good and taste good. Personally, for me any recipe that I would inculcate has to be simple, quick and easy.
Here is my collection of my favorite DFT posts:
