To start – OMG it’s been a long time! I’ve noticed that as my kids have exited the toddler stage and are into becoming little elementary school kids that our schedule keeps getting busier! Unfortunately because this is a passion project, it comes behind momming and working, but now that Fall has arrived (and where I live, it took a while to get out of the scorching 90 degree days), it’s time for an update on T1D Type A Mom and how things are moving forward.
New Recipes – I haven’t uploaded new pictures or recipes in a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been making them or keeping track of carbs in them! I have a stack of recipes that I will be adding shortly. In the mean time, I have been posting them to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551948006328. It’s a quicker option to do on my phone if I’m running to the next task. I’ve also been slowly exploring the world of TikTok: @t1dtypeamom. I’m not good at it yet, ha! But I am trying to make short videos about my recipes. Fear not! Updates coming on the website soon!
Book – I decided I wanted to compile my recipes into a book so I met with a publisher and have a rough draft done. My original intent was to create a book with ALL my recipes, however there are simply too many at this point for a first book. After a lot of thought and discussion, I decided that a good dive in point would be to create a recipe book for the holidays, so each recipe is themed. They are pretty easy to do and I think provide a fun, lower carb option for celebrating. I am sure I have a lot more work ahead of me but if and when it works out, I can’t wait to share it with you. My hope is that if the holiday one can do well, that there are others coming. The ultimate dream would be to get to donate whatever money the book generates to Breakthrough T1D. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself :).
Speaking of Breakthrough T1D, this past Sunday we had our annual walk for Type 1 Diabetes. So many of our friends and family donated to the cause and showed up for our type 1 daughter. It was emotional in a good way, seeing all the people living with T1D and all the people showing up for them. Support is so important – it is the reason we keep going when it is hard. I hope these recipes are a type of support for you because as you know, I am no baker/chef/nutritionist, just a mom who wants the best for her kids.
