Watching A Tornado Boost My Blood Sugar

What A Tornado Does To Blood Sugar

I was reasonably calm–eating dinner in the garage inside my car, the dish wasn’t getting a signal in the storm–trying to figure out if a tornado could drop close to my house. As I tune in, I hear what I’m conditioned to hear, “This is crazy. Stuff is flying everywhere. You won’t believe this, another tornado is on the ground in Moore.”

That’s where I grew up. We’ve been through May 3rd, May 20th, and countless other “get in the shelter” moments. I currently live about 20 miles north of Moore in Oklahoma City, a place that missed the twisters last night. Moore was not so lucky, again. Voodoo. Yet, as a family member of mine put it, “I wasn’t freaking out this time. I knew it was only an F1, so we were calm. The fence is down and I think we lost a few shingles but I’m heading to bunko.” (more…)



The Random, Clear Out The Cabinets Smoothie

I do not follow many recipes. Whatever happens to be around, usually makes it into my smoothie. In this morning’s recipe, I throw together turmeric, peaches, pineapple, ginger, almond milk, and a few other staples, count up the carbs, hold my nose, and watch the blood sugar results.

Happy Weekend Everyone!
