"My mother used to love tuna noodle casserole, but it's one of the things she simply isn't supposed to have under her dietary restrictions. For Mother's Day this year, I adapted the recipe she used to use out of the Betty Crocker cookbook to be more diabetic friendly. It's not something she should have all the time, but as a special treat she said it tasted wonderful."
