Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
It snowed on the first day of spring here in New England, did you know that? And it snowed on the the third day of spring as well. I know I am not alone when I say this, and I may actually be speaking for the entire Northeastern seaboard, but I am SO over it. [...]
If you are a regular follower of this blog, you may have noticed that I eat a lot of nuts. As a diabetic who is trying to control blood sugars with diet and exercise alone, nuts have been my saving grace. I use almond meal as my go-to low carb flour and have gained considerable [...]
Tomorrow morning, I head down to the Cape with a few friends to run the Hyannis Marathon as a relay. My portion of the relay is 7 miles. A few weeks ago, I was really looking forward to this race, but right now? Not so much. For one thing, I am battling quite the sore [...]
Food trends are an interesting thing to watch, how a flavour or a particular pairing can become all the rage and be everywhere you turn, and then be passe by year’s end. Not being all that trendy myself, I am usually a few years behind. The popularity of bacon in sweet foods still has me [...]

The one who stands at the edges of a party, looking slightly disdainful at the rest of the revelers, not quite willing to join in the hilarity. While the pecan is the sweet southern belle, and the almond is everybody’s friend, the [...]
Well folks, it is time for me to face reality and accept the fact that I have a picky eater on my hands. Kiddo number three appears to have an exceptionally delicate palate and disdains all but a handful of food items. I believe this is what they call karma, or payback for all the [...]
You know that children’s book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? I had one of those days just last week. I had a baby who had to get four, count ‘em, four shots at the doctor and who spent the rest of the day in a state of extreme crankiness. She [...]
Would you think it strange if I told you that diabetes has made me a better cook? Or at the very least, a more creative and resourceful one? If not for my blood sugar issues, I would never have begun searching out alternatives for flour and sugar with which to satisfy my sweet (and carb) [...]
