I think I’m about to fritter every food!!

These were not only tasty, but really fun to make.

* 2 cod fillets
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup Jiffy honey cornbread mix
* 3 eggs
* 1/4 tsp baking powder
* 1/4 cup cornstarch
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
* 1 tsp Caribbean curry powder
* 2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp onion powder
* 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped
* 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
* Scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped, to taste
* 1 cup water, plus more as needed
* Oil, for frying

Cook the cod first:
Boil or bake the cod until it flakes easily with a fork. If baking, bake at 400 F for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. The cod is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 F. Flake and set aside.

**If using salted cod:**
Boil for about 30 minutes to remove excess salt and rehydrate, then drain and flake.

Make the batter:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornbread mix, baking powder, cornstarch, black pepper, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the onion, bell pepper, and Scotch bonnet. Stir in the eggs, then slowly add water until you get a thick batter. Fold in the flaked cod.

Fry:
Heat oil to 375 F. Scoop spoonfuls of batter into the oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.

Crispy outside, savory and fluffy inside, and absolutely not here to play.

Yield: 14 fritters
Per fritter: about 145 calories, 14g carbs, 6g protein, 5g fat

When I heard about Awiqli, the once-weekly basal insulin for adults with type 2 diabetes, I knew this was something worth talking about. Fewer injections can sound really appealing, and for some people, that could make diabetes management feel a little more doable. But like anything in diabetes care, the full story matters.

The research shows this option may help lower A1C similarly to daily basal insulin, and in some studies even slightly better, but there are still important tradeoffs to think about, including hypoglycemia risk, dosing education, and the reality that cost and coverage may look different for everyone.
That's why I wanted to break it down in a way that feels practical, honest, and supportive, not just exciting because it's new. If you want to understand the pros, cons, what the studies really showed, and why your care team and support tools still matter, go read more on HangryWoman.com or inside The Glucose Guide App.

AD: Bacon, egg, and cheese… but make it plant-forward. 🥓✨

This sandwich is built on balance: real egg, plant-based cheese, and MyBacon bringing all the crunch and flavor. And yes—it actually holds up.

One of the things I teach as a nutritionist and health coach is that you don’t have to give up the foods you love to support your blood sugar. You can upgrade them.

Adding more plants to your plate means more fiber, more nutrients, and more support for steadier energy and glucose levels. It’s not “all or nothing.” It’s us actively stacking small wins that add up.

MyBacon is plant-based, made from U.S. mushrooms, and gives you that smoky, crispy satisfaction—without cholesterol or preservatives. So you get the comfort food moment and something your body can work with.

Food should taste good. It should fit your life. And it should support your health.

This one checks all three. 💜

I want to know if you’d give it a try!

Making a smoothie bowl every morning because it’s an easy way to get my servings of fruits and veggies and it makes me feel good. What’s powering you through the morning?

Hopefully, this will allow those of you I upset to put the pitchforks down today…I will always stand by eating fruits and vegetables. It feels weird that I even have to say that…but here I am. Saying it. carbohydrates are not the villain that we’re trying to make it be.

This easy blood sugar friendly breakfast lives in reality.

Not the “you have 45 minutes and a pristine kitchen” reality — the actual one where breakfast needs to be filling, flexible, and not send your blood sugar into chaos by 10 a.m.

This sheet-pan hash works because it respects how blood sugar behaves in real bodies. Sweet potatoes and chickpeas bring fiber-rich carbohydrates. Olive oil and tahini add fat for staying power. And if you need more balance, you can top it with eggs, tofu, or tempeh to boost protein and keep things steady longer.

Sweet potatoes aren’t the problem. Chickpeas aren’t the problem.
Skipping structure usually is.

This is the kind of meal I recommend as a nutritionist and health coach because it’s warm, savory, satisfying, and adaptable — which is exactly what makes it sustainable.

Save this for mornings when you want breakfast to work with you, not against you. And take a look at the free weekly meal plan ideas I have in . I plan out 7 days of ideas with enough flexibility to add in foods you love. Plus, our community support is unmatched. It’s a little diabetes personal assistant in your pocket, when and where you need it.
