Hi, I discovered my passion for cooking after my diabetes diagnosis in 2005 — not out of obligation, but out of curiosity. Armed with a glucose monitor and an unhealthy obsession with the USDA nutrition database, I taught myself to build meals that actually taste good without the blood sugar rollercoaster.

My kitchen experiments range from surprisingly decent low-glycemic stir-fries to oat-based breakfasts I'm convinced are better than anything at Whole Foods. I track macros obsessively, fails at portion control regularly, and considers finding a high-protein snack a win!
