Recipe Rundown

My Sweet Tooth & Type 1 Diabetes

Having a major sweet tooth isn’t always convenient when you have type 1 diabetes, but I’ve found a balance that works for me! I’ve gotten pretty good at having just a bite or two of regular desserts—which is actually kind of amazing because I get to try it all without overdoing it.

Social Media Myths That Make Me Laugh

One thing that still cracks me up? People on social media assuming I eat every single dessert I make or that I somehow got diabetes from eating sweets. 🤦‍♀️ It couldn’t be further from the truth! I think it’s because of all the jokes people hear about sugar causing diabetes—some might actually believe it. But type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, so it’s not something I can reverse. (Hopefully one day!)

Enjoying Dessert the Smart Way

Even though I have to be mindful with sweets, I still get to enjoy amazing, lower-sugar treats like these Better-For-You Chocolate Nut Cups! They’re the perfect mix of salty, sweet, and rich chocolate—seriously, so good.

My Dark Chocolate Obsession

I wasn’t a dark chocolate fan growing up, but now I’m obsessed. There’s something about that deep, chocolatey bite that’s just so satisfying. More than anything, I think what makes any dessert irresistible is the balance of salty and sweet—that little pinch of sea salt is everything.

These chocolate cups not only taste amazing, but when I balanced out the dark chocolate and nut butter, my blood sugar was wonderful afterward! A total win-win. 🙌🍫✨
