Diabetics, Don't Say Bye Bye to Coconut Pie!
If you're like me, than you love some pie! Apple pie, cherry pie, pumpkin pie! Oooo, some hot peach pie with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! I just love the taste of all that melty, creamy vanilla snuggling up to the sweet, freshness of the peach filling. Nothing makes my mouth water like the thought of a nice slice of pie. Of course, now that I'm a diabetic, me and pie have had to take a step back from each other and rethink our relationship. At first, in the beginning months after my diagnosis, I thought that pie and really all desserts were off the table for me. For good. But as I learned more about my condition, how my personal body reacted to different carbs, and learned more about the vibrant and often tasty world of low carb eating, I learned that desserts in moderation, maybe weren't so bad. In fact, maybe even my beloved pie could make a come back in my life. One of the many pies that worked hard and won it's way back into my heart was coconut pie. But not the old, sugar heavy, no-friend-of-mine coconut pie. This pie had changed its old, bad ways and come back to be a tasty, lighter version of its old self. So if you're missing some coconut pie, and think you can never be friends again, let me introduce you to Coconut Chia Seed Pudding!

Diabetes and the Big Scary "C"
If you are a diabetic, than you know that the “C” word is a dirty word to us! That’s right, it’s carbs! The tasty things we all love, but that doesn’t love us back anymore. Those springy dinner rolls, those fluffy mashed potatoes, those bouncy cupcakes, those are all carb heavy foods. When your diabetic dietitian tells you that you need to cut down on carbs, it can seem like there's nothing left to eat any more. This feeling can be doubly strong if you're living in the US, where almost everything is carb-a-licious. I remember walking into a grocery store at the beginning of my carb cutting journey and realizing that I couldn't eat 90% of everything being sold in that store. There were whole aisles in which there wasn't a single item on the shelves that was safe for me to eat! At times the task of cutting carbs seemed really over whelming. But with some practice, know-how, and some tasty new recipes, I've found that living with less carbs really isn't so big or scary.
