Popcorn Popcorn Popcorn!

It should be against the law to watch a movie without popcorn, even if it is just a movie at home in bed. Popcorn makes watching a movie so much better and it tastes so amazing. But surely something that tastes so good can't be healthy? Think again and get excited about this! Popcorn can make…

August 8th-14th Weekly Dinner Plan

Here goes nothing! I have decided to share my families weekly dinner plans that I write every weekend so that the family have a plan. Being organised and having a plan is such a great idea especially for dinners as it saves you eating quick and easy 'unhealthy' foods or spending an arm and a…

Food Hangover’s & Diabetes

I hardly drink anymore, probably because I'm such a light weight these days so I don't need to drink a lot, but also because I would rather indulge on scrumptious food that I don't normally eat then get wasted. Don't get too excited for me though. Yes I may not get those terrible hangovers from…

Low carb or no low carb?

Since my diagnosis, I have been on a low carbohydrate diet. It made sense to me when I first found out because my body cannot process carbohydrates so I needed to cut the problem from my diet. Makes sense right? I thought so! So, against all the doctors and diabetes dietitians advice little old sam…

I am eating this because . . .

Nova rapid is a fast acting insulin, that lasts two hours to cover anything and everything that spikes my blood sugar At first I thought by cutting out sugar and carbohydrates to very minimal that I would never ever need to use my short term insulin. (I was so stoked, only one injection in the…

Since becoming a diabetic crackers and have been a big NO NO. They are unfortunately fill of carbs and vegetable oils,…

Raw Passionfruit Cheesecake

This dessert is perfect for this time of year. BBQ's, sun, cider and plenty of passionfruit around. It is tart from the passionfruit but contrasted from the nut base through it. Super easy to make, just requires at least 5-6 hours in the freezer (or make it the day before your BBQ).  Goes perfectly with whipped…

I love a sweet treat in the afternoon. Cup of tea, good book (or in my case at the moment study), and something sweet. Its a habit wanting something sweet with a cup of tea but I'm not complaining. This raw bounty bar slice is the perfect addition to your afternoon. This slice is full…

No Carbs But Cheese And Bacon

Its a huge debate over what people with Type 1 Diabetes should be eating. My first dietitian at the diabetes clinic told me; Why should you eat differently to anyone else. Eat whatever you like, including Mc Donald's, as long as you count your carbs and inject your insulin accordingly. I was baffled. Eat whatever…
