The Crazy Cookie Lady has officially turned GREEN š„šš
This salad with homemade balsamic isnāt just pretty⦠itās powerful.
A few years ago, pre-diabetes played a big role in me having to close my cookie businessāand that was a wake-up call I couldnāt ignore.
Iāve been thinking about this a lotā¦
How can we know something works, believe in itāand still struggle to live it?
A few years ago, my son and I went all in on a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. Within days, I felt itāmore energy, clearer mind. My blood pressure improved, my blood sugar normalized⦠I even reversed my prediabetes.
I felt amazing.
But over time, life crept back in. Old habits. Comfort foods. What felt ānormal.ā
Now, a few years later⦠Iām prediabetic again.
And itās not because I donāt believe in it.
Itās because this isnāt just about foodāitās habit, culture, comfort. Itās what we grew up on.
And changing that? Itās hard.
But maybe the power is in being aware⦠and trying anyway, even imperfectly š¤
