What’s this all about?

Hello! My name is Natalie  and  I am beginning my fourth year of medical school and the third year of being a quirky type 1 diabetic. I have always loved food, and if you ask anyone around I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth…but a little while ago the way I cook and experiment with food changed. I am now learning how to juggle the demands of professional school with living a healthy life on a budget.

Part of that balance is finding interests away from medicine and my academic life. For example, learning a new skill, traveling and meeting new people and new cultures. So that is what you will see here: Delicious, healthy food mixed with a couple of sweet splurges and some insights about my quirky pancreas, interests and life…sounds like a pretty good recipe to me.  Buon Appetito!
