I’ll be honest—I thought the whole “broccoli helps with diabetes” thing was just another trend. But after trying a few new ways to cook it, I actually get why people talk about it. Lately I’ve been letting it sit for 10 minutes before cooking, and my after-dinner blood sugar feels steadier—even on those chaotic nights … Read more
Mornings get busy. Between rushing out the door, grabbing coffee, and trying to stay on schedule, I used to just reach for whatever was easy and right there.

Life is sweeter with chocolate. A simple joy to be savoured. What they do now mention, however, that the other primary ingredient, sugar, is quite a killer. With every bite savoured, I also think about my blood sugar spiking. Interestingly, thats not always the case with chocolate. There’s a calmer, saner and a better way … Read more
