    LIFE

    Where do you turn when you need an answer and there isn't one? Most people would say the internet. But I did that and the answers weren't there. So I started to write about our life experiences with Type 1 diabetes, Addison's disease and marriage with diabetes in the hopes of finding someone out there who was also going through the same thing. And then life took twists and turns and I started to write about divorce and diabetes, then the passing of my ex husband at a young age, and then remarriage and blending a family. And I still continue to hope that if there is someone out there who needs answers, hopefully you will find the answers that you are searching for here. I've also compiled lot's of articles written from my work as a full time counselor and as a parent, wife and mom.

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!
