| Introduction | Hi, I am Heather & I love cooking. This blog came about by accident & I am using it as a jumping off point for my future career. My middle child was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 6 yrs ago. During this time I had been laid of from 3 design firms due to the housing market collapse. All construction stopped & there just wasn't enough reliable work for a kitchen & bath designer. Cooking has always been a passion of mine & navigating the T1D lifestyle was a real challenge at the grocery store & in the kitchen. It became my mission to revamp how I looked at food in order to keep my daughter healthy. I love the idea of working with other pediatric T1D kids and their parents. I want to help families navigate the ups and downs of the disease, provide education on how food choices impact blood glucose levels and offer support for the day to day management so when these kids become adults, they will have the tools to remain healthy and in control. Now I am in school for my RN to BSN after which I will study to become a Diabetic Educator. I am a whole foods advocate, self taught chef with a passion for Type 1 Diabetes awareness & education. |
