As a diabetic, one thing I hate to not indulge in is pizza. I admit, I do still enjoy some here and there, but I always get thin crust. Lucky for me, I love thin crust over the doughy stuff so it’s not too much of a sacrifice. However, I am always searching for new […]

Spicy Low Carb Jambalaya
Mardi Gras is just around the corner and with that comes lots of yummy Cajun food. When I was in culinary school, I learned how to create jambalaya and what gave it the special taste. Not only was it a combo of the wonderful spicy seasonings, but a red roux. Food is amazing because there […]
Lower Carb Shamrock Shake Copycat Recipe
It’s March and that means it’s Shamrock Shake time at McDonald’s. If you have never had a shamrock shake, it’s a mint flavored shake that is one of the most popular yearly traditions during the month of March. While it has been out in the restaurant for a week or two now, it will […]
Low-Sugar Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Smoothies are a great way to start the day or cool down on a hot summer day. While we are still in the cold weather here in Washington, I can’t pass up a good smoothie. One way you can always have smoothie making supplies on hand is to buy fruits like berries and bananas in […]
Diabetic Dijon Mustard Chicken
So, as you can tell, I could not come up with a name for this recipe that sounded interesting. I like to experiment from time to time and although my creations are sometimes flops and not something I would feed to a dog, occasionally, they are really good, but don’t look the nicest. I named […]

The Superbowl is almost here and you are probably on a hunt for low carb game day recipes. While most tailgating snacks tend to be savory or salty, this Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cheesecake Dip is not. It is low carb, but sweet (no too much) just the same, so it’s a welcome change in […]

Dealing With The “Food Police” When You Are on a Special Diet
If you are on any kind of special diet whether it be a diabetic one, an allergy one or just on a diet to loose or gain weight, you have probably heard comments from the “Food Police”. These comments I am referring to are those well meaning ones from friends and relatives that go something […]
Diabetic Friendly Jello Cookies
One of my favorite types of cookie is a soft and chewy one. I am not the type who likes to dunk my cookies in milk, so I don’t need a crunchy texture to hold up. Although I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, I like to occasionally have a treat. These Jello Cookies are […]
How to Host a Pancake Bar Party
Weekends are a great time to make pancakes. I love to do a “pancake” bar at my home, especially if I have company on weekend mornings as it is a fun way to allow everyone to top their pancake exactly how they want. Hosting a pancake bar party is very simple. You just need a […]
#Diabetic Friendly Orange Cream Cupcakes
Diabetics often have to miss out on sweet treats because they would put them into carb overload. Of course, you can skip carbs entirely at a meal in order to enjoy a small dessert, but if the carb in the meal is too tempting, that may be a hard choice. With summer still more than […]
Heavenly Chocolate Banana Bread #Diabetic Friendly
I love chocolate. However, many delicious and almost sinful chocolate foods usually are way over the top in sugar content and make my blood sugar sky rocket. The biggest issue with many diabetic desserts is they are dry and kind of bland. I am not much of a baker and this Heavenly Chocolate Banana […]
