Soft, Flexible, and Made with Just 6 Simple Ingredients. These homemade low-carb tortillas are easy to make and surprisingly versatile. They are soft, flexible, and work well for tacos, wraps, burritos, quesadillas, or even as a flatbread. Best of all, they are made without cheese and use simple pantry ingredients. This was the first time that I sucessfully made homemade tortillas. My husband, Michael, even gave me the thumbs up. Ingredients · 1½ cups fine almond flour

Food has always been tied to love, celebration, comfort, and connection. Family cookouts. Church potlucks. Holiday gatherings. Birthday parties. Sunday lunches. Dinner with friends. Food brings people together. That is why changing the way you eat can sometimes feel difficult. Whether you are trying to lower carbs, support better blood sugar, lose weight, reduce inflammation, or simply make healthier choices, gatherings can feel challenging. You may look at the table and see

When many people think about diabetes nutrition, the first thing they think about is carbohydrates. And yes, carbohydrates matter because they usually raise blood sugar the fastest. But diabetes nutrition is about much more than just counting carbs. Protein matters. Fats matter. Food quality matters. Balance matters. For many years, people were taught that fat was bad. We were told to buy low-fat foods, fat-free foods, and avoid fat whenever possible. Unfortunately, many of t

Preparing for Difficult Days With Faith and Wisdom Sometimes emotions feel like riding a seesaw. There are moments when life feels balanced. We feel calm, strong, and able to think clearly. During those times, making good choices often feels easier. Then there are other moments when life shifts quickly. Stress rises. Fatigue sets in. Emotions feel heavy. The balance changes, and suddenly even simple decisions feel much harder. I think most of us know what that feels like. In

There was a time in my life when food became comfort. Not nourishment. Not fuel. Comfort. When I was depressed, overwhelmed, grieving, or emotionally and physically exhausted, food often became something I leaned on. Food felt easy. Food asked nothing from me. I didn’t have to talk to it. I didn’t have to explain myself. I didn’t have to tell it why I was hurting, exhausted, overwhelmed, or sad. For a moment, food felt like comfort. It felt like relief.

Many people living with diabetes also live with high blood pressure. In fact, these two conditions often go hand in hand. When blood sugars stay elevated over time, the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves can all be affected. This is one reason why managing diabetes is about much more than simply watching glucose numbers. One thing I have seen over many years of nursing is that when people begin moving toward a more natural low-carb lifestyle, many start seeing improvem

This is such a simple, one pot meal with so much flavor. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

I wanted to create a side dish that was a little different from the usual low-carb choices like riced cauliflower or salad. While those options certainly have their place, sometimes we all want something warm, hearty, and satisfying that still supports healthier blood sugar goals. Combining chayote and edamame created a dish with great texture, good fiber, and added protein while keeping carbohydrates lower than many traditional side dishes. Chayote, also known as vegetable p

Many people with diabetes have stomach problems such as bloating, gas, cramping, nausea, or diarrhea. Their first thought is often, “It must be my diabetes.” Sometimes diabetes can affect digestion, but diabetes is not always the reason. Sometimes the problem may be: • Lactose intolerance • Medication side effects • Another medical condition Lactose intolerance happens when your body does not make enough of the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which is the natural sugar f

I have been seeing many posts lately sharing studies that claim this medication or that supplement is the best way to manage diabetes—as if everyone should fit into one singular mold. After many years in nursing, I can tell you with confidence that healthcare simply does not work that way. I have never seen a medication, treatment plan, or dietary approach that is truly “one size fits all.” Yes, research matters. Studies matter. Medical advancements matter. But we also need

If you are living with diabetes—whether Type 1 or Type 2—you have probably heard a lot of advice from family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers. Some of it may come from a place of love. Some of it may come across as criticism. "Get your life together." "You need to change your diet." "Why did you let this happen?" While those words may be painful to hear, I want you to consider something. The people saying these things are often afraid too. They may be worried about you

One of the most common questions people with diabetes ask during a hospital stay is, "If I have diabetes, why am I being served so many carbohydrates?" Many hospitalized patients receive a consultation with a Registered Dietitian. The dietitian's role is to assess nutritional needs and help create a meal plan that supports healing, recovery, and overall health. In many hospitals, this results in a "consistent carbohydrate" meal plan rather than a low-carbohydrate meal plan. A

I love enchiladas but the tortillas have way too many carbs for me. This was one of the first recipes that I learned to make from scratch...except for the low carb tortillas. INGREDIENTS 10 Low carb tortillas (I used Mission brand) 16 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese 16 ounces of shredded chicken breast (I used a rotisserie chicken to save time) 1/2 bunch of green onions sliced (optional) Chopped cilantro for garnish *Easy Low Carb Enchilada Sauce (1 full recipe) DIRECTIONS

Having just made some Cole slaw and cut up more cabbage to ferment for Sauer kraut, I looked and saw how much more cabbage I had left over. I had the option of giving it to the chickens (they love cabbage) or making a side dish to go with the stuffed peppers I had just prepared to put in the oven. This is the recipe I decided to go with. Serves 4-6 Ingredients 1 small head cabbage, shredded (I used a 1.5-pound cabbage) 1 can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, und
