Started my celebration for #NationalNutDay this morning! I add #almonds to my #oatmeal every morning for the boost of #fiber (4 grams), vitamin E, riboflavin, and #plantprotein. Extra benefit… studies have found increased photoprotection against UVB light (#sunprotection ). #funinthesun #diabetesfriendly #diabetesfriendlysnacks #diabetes #nut @californiaalmonds #almondboardofcalifornia #lovenuts #gifted
What’s your favorite way to consume #peanuts? So many delicious opportunities all day long. The peanut is considered America’s favorite #nut and has the highest #protein content per serving with 7 grams. #nationalnutday #peanutfanatic @peanutrd #peanutbutterlover #peanutbutter #proteinpower #plantbased #diabetesfriendly #diabetesfriendlysnacks #diabetes #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #diabetescommunity #nuttyfornuts
I’m not usually a fan of #pitabread but changing my mind with these @stacys pita chips! Omg, love the buttery flavor of these crisp #chips. TY for the gift. From now on, I’ll be putting them in my grocery cart! #snacks #sample #diabetesfriendly #pita #crunchychips

Love @wonderfulpistachios variety of flavors to get #plantbasedprotein. 💪 @halosfun @pomwonderful
One of the ( many) wonderful things about living in #hiltonheadisland is being able to have a fall/winter garden. #purplecauliflower #broccoli and #beets are planted. Love having less weeds during this season compared to our spring/summer #garden. #gardening #homegrownveggies #physicalactivity #stressreducer #gardener #hatsofftofarmers🙏🙏🙏🙏😍
Expanding my audience today to dogs and people with #diabetes. I’m having this discussions out #portionsize with my #englishspringerspaniel on every walk through our neighborhood. We love that our neighbors place treats in their mailboxes BUT… my #englishspringer is having trouble with saying no.

Flu shot reminder! This message especially for my followers who have #diabetes. Besides not feeling well, #bloodsugar often raises adding more feeling ill symptoms. Take care and get your #flushot by end of this month. #diabetestype2 #diabetestype1 #diabetescommunity #diabetescare #diabeteslife #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #reducerisks
It’s okay by us. This is fall. No leaves turning colors but sunshine and everything stays green all year long. @springerrescueamerica #englishspringerspaniel #englishspringerspanielsofinstagram @hiltonhead_sc #hiltonheadisland #fallphoto

October is Eat Better, Eat Together month and I can’t think of a better photo. We were eating dinner at home with our kids and granddaughters. All of a sudden, our almost two year old granddaughter, Amelia, instructed us to all hold hands and then we were asked to say “family”. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #eatbettereattogether #eatbettereattogethermonth #familyfirst #familytime #rdapproved
Decided to make a video ( link in bio) on one of the most requested topics… what should I eat for #lunch. Hope this inspires new ideas for #mealprepideas. #mealprepping #lunchideas #vegetables #fruit #protein #carbohydrates #wholegrains #soyfoods #peanutbutter #almondbutter #eggs #eggenthusiast #cheese @thedairyalliance @offtheeatenpathsnacks @califlourfoods #diabetes #diabetestype2 #diabetestype1 #diabetescommunity #diabetesmanagement #diabeteslife
Hip hip hooray. For dinner, I prepared a #veggie #pizza using @califlourfoods crust and my #bloodsugar stayed steady in target range all night long. 👏 one other key is that I used fresh #vegetables, no sauce. #roastedredpepper #tomato #basil #artichoke #delicious #samples #diabetesmanagement #diabetescommunity #diabeteslife #tomatowellness #bloodsugarbalance #carbs #carbohydrates #lowcarb
#starchyvegetables can get confusing for people watching their #carbintake. Adding another video to my series on what you need to know about #carbohydrate foods.

Our goal for our #englishspringerrescueamerica is to give her the best life. ❤️ she was a very #Happydog as “in season” is over” so she is now allowed to relax at the #beach with us. She patiently waited to explore the beach until her @smithsonanthony came down to the beach ❤️ #englishspringerspaniel #englishspringer #englishspringerspanielsofinstagram #adoptadog #loveourdog
