Raison d'Etre
First and foremost, 0bviously you're reading this, thanks for taking the time to visit.
After my husband was diagnosed with hereditary SHTG last year, I used the previous experience and knowledge from my last marriage cooking for a man with Type 2 Diabetes to kickstart a major lifestyle change. We don't call this a diet, as a) diets are temporary b) proper eating should be the norm, not the exception, and c) the word "diet" has negative connotations ... which we're trying to avoid.
Many moons ago, when my ex was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, the first two things Doc C told him was a) most diabetics get depressed, they think it's all tree bark and rain water b) you're on your own, most family members won't help, change their eating habits, and if something happens and you get divorced or somehow else end up alone, you have to do this for yourself.
Well, even though I don't need to diet, because I have a high metabolism, sitting at 5'7", 120#, I believe in being fully committed to the man I'm with in a relationship. Thus, I'm all in.
My father, and my mother's paternal grandmother taught me how to cook at a very young age. I have the same passion for cooking, that others have painting, quilting, or any other creative endeavors. For me, cooking for others has been a gift, it has to be perfect. Combine that with my personal pickiness, and love for the pleasures in life (high caliber food, music, art, travel, cars, literature, sex, etc) instilled in me or influenced by my father, I'm a foodie.
So, to balance my passion for cooking with nutritional needs of my very significant other, challenge accepted. Add my passion for writing to share this information with anyone willing to take the time, all the better.
My plans for this blog are many. We understand it's not easy, especially to get started. We know amount of information is overwhelming, sometimes unreliable, and I'll even post our incorrect assumptions which research and many hours in grocery stores reading packaging enlightened us greatly. We're not perfect, but we cite our sources, and above all else, we have the best of intentions.
Best regards,
