I love this time of year, cooler temps, beautiful colors, holidays are coming...

I took my dog Gus for a walk this morning and it was so nice not feeling like a snowman and melting while outside... :0

My diabetes has been doing good, but the past few days my sugars have been climbing up a little, it's just my body, I'll be doing fine for a while, then all of the sudden they start going up. Talked to my doctor yesterday, told me to increase my 1 mg. daily Amaryl to 2 mg. daily, started that today, and it's helping so far, woo hoo. I can't complain too much right now, because I'm not really on much diabetic medication and no insulin, so all is good. I just got finished making some sugar free chocolate diet cherry vanilla dr pepper cupcakes, yep that's a mouthful, huh, lol. I'll be back to post the recipe and pics soon.

Banana Walnut Muffins (so good)

1 cup Splenda
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick melted butter
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
4 ripe mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, mix butter, bananas, egg and vanilla, then add dry ingredients and mix well. Spray your muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 until golden brown and toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean. This recipe makes 6 large muffins or 12 regular size. I wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze, then pop in the microwave when ready to eat.
