ALL ABOUT TYPEFOODIE

So nice to “meet” you! My name is Hanna and I live in Boston, MA. If you couldn't tell by now, I have a deep love for food - and that includes sweets. Though it has been a journey, Type 1 Diabetes has not stopped that.

 

As a soon to be teenager when I received my diagnosis, the first thing I worried about was whether I would be able to enjoy the food I loved. As I learned more about how to manage my diabetes, I was frequently encouraged to cook at home when possible so that I would easily know how many carbs were in my meals making it easier to dose my insulin. What I soon learned was that if I wanted my food to taste good, it would be more complicated than I realized to calculate how many carbs were in my tasty home cooked meals and treats. 

 

As I searched for recipes online that had carb information readily available, the results were scarce at best and what I did find was either not my type of dessert or the carb details weren't shared in a useful way.

 

Enter typefoodie! I wanted a place where I could find crave-worthy recipes that had carb information available for those who need it. When I couldn't find it, I decided to create it. My original recipes are created with just the right amount of sweetness, and with the intention of ensuring a sweet can be part of your everyday life with less stress. And these recipes are meant to be to be enjoyed by everyone, Type 1 Diabetic or not. If carbs aren't in your vocabulary, skip that part and get right to enjoying some great dessert!
