Diabetes Friendly

Keeping blood sugar balanced has been a key to unlocking my own metabolic health, and it’s something that matters even more because I cook regularly for family members who are living with diabetes and pre-diabetes.

In this category, you’ll find recipes that we actually enjoy around the table. Favorites like Salmon Bites for quick weeknights, Chia Yogurt Parfaits for easy breakfasts, and crispy flax seed crackers for snacking.

Every recipe here is built around a healthful balance of protein, fiber, and fat to support steady energy and better blood sugar control. They’re also free from refined sugars, with options that fit into keto, gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo lifestyles.

My goal is to make eating in a diabetes-friendly way delicious, approachable, and practical for everyday life.
