Recipe Friday

Here is another recipe that was submitted to D-Feast Friday. (you can find the recipes by going to Bitter-Sweet Diabetes and clicking on the D-Feast Friday link on the left hand side) This one comes from Sweet Bites. I am personally not a big sweet potato fan, however my family loves them. I was thinking [...]

Pineapple Chicken Chili

I grabbed this recipe from Your Diabetes May Vary. We love chili and even though we are moving towards spring here in NZ, you would never know it by looking at this past weeks weather. I am intrigued by the sweetness of the pineapple and the hot chili powders. Can’t wait to make it, hope [...]

To Treat or to Not Treat

This subject is as old as diabetes itself I would imagine, but it amased (going with my Kiwi spellings here, be patient with what looks to be misspelled or should I say misspelt) Let me start again. It amased me at how many parents still struggle over whether or not to let their kids participate in holiday [...]

D-Feast Friday Recap

I thought the recipe sharing through D-Feast Friday was amazing. What I loved the most is that a lot of the recipe’s posted were just regular every day recipes. It was nice to see that we are human and eat human and accept responsibility for that humanness. If that makes any sense at all. I [...]

D-Feast Friday APPLE SAUCE!

Homemade Applesauce Yeah, I know it sounds boring but it’s really affordable and easy to make. And it can be a nice sweet treat with no extra sugar added. I mostly put it into the kid’s lunches, but we also eat it with spicy sausages for breakfast, mix it into yogurt and it’s awesome in a pinch [...]

D-Feast Friday

I will be participating in the D-Feast Friday activity this week. A few fine D-bloggers came up with another awesome idea to have all of us (D-bloggers or not) share our favourite D-friendly recipes. However, truth be known I am sure there will be a few that won’t be so friendly but absolute fav’s. The [...]

Day 5 of CGM Booty

As you can imagine, Kelsey’s wearing the CGM has been a real eye opener. But not in the way you would think..or maybe it’s not in the way I expected it to be. The weekend is a time when Kelsey gets to go off and do her thing..whatever that “thing” may be. So Friday she [...]

Lazy Mom Update & The Beach

As you could have guessed, yesterday was a disaster. Marty spent WAY TOO MUCH MONEY…$15 between morning tea (raw veges and a pc of fruit) and lunch (drink, nachos and a cookie). Ok, so he ate well for snack so I am not upset that he ate crap for lunch…but $15?!?!?!?!?!? I could have done [...]

The Day of the Lazy Mom

Yeah, I admit it. Just when we get the kids BS numbers back in order I decide to be lazy. I didn’t feel like cooking last night so we ordered Chinese. And since we’ve moved, it’s a new Chinese Take Out…which means I had to completely guess.( For example Lemon Chicken does have sugar in the sauce, [...]

Oh Carbs, How we love thee…them…you…

My family has an absolute love affair with carbs. Pasta, homemade pizza, mashed potatoes…and a myriad of rice dishes. We have a starchy carb with almost every dinner. We do keep it to one serving (mostly) and we do measure, but it’s rare to not have carbs at the table for dinner. Now breakfast is [...]
