Happy World Diabetes Day!\u00a0 We’re so excited to share Carolyn Ketchum’s\u00a0 tilapia recipe with you today. \u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Carolyn is the author of the outstanding food blog, All Day I Dream About Food<\/a>, where she focuses on recipes for low-carb meals and treats.\u00a0 Carolyn has always loved to bake<\/a>, but after she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes while pregnant with her third child, she began to concentrate on low-carb recipes.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Her diagnosis came as a surprise since Carolyn was fit and healthy, and everyone expected that diabetes would go away after she gave birth.\u00a0 It did, seemingly, for a few months.\u00a0 But then, because she was still testing blood sugar every so often, Carolyn noticed a disturbing upwards trend on her meter.\u00a0 She started monitoring more closely and consulted with her doctor.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

For the time being, Carolyn’s official diagnosis is pre-diabetes, but she suspects that this is only because she is so careful about what she eats and how much exercise she does.\u00a0 “If I was to go back to eating more carbs,” she says,\u00a0 “I am sure I would fall into the diabetic category. \u00a0 As far as I am concerned, it is diabetes, because I treat it the same way I would if I was a full-blown diabetic (i.e. testing, low carb and exercise).”<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to having one of the best food blogs out there, Carolyn is also a cookbook author.\u00a0 You can find her recipes in the new book. Low-Carbing Among Friends<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve been lucky to have Carolyn on board as one of ASweetLife’s culinary contributors.\u00a0 And the recipe below, which she shared for Diabetes Awareness Month, is about as good as it gets.\u00a0 Take it away, Carolyn! – Jessica Apple<\/em><\/p>\n

There is nothing quite like freshly made pico de gallo.\u00a0 It’s so flavorful and goes well with so many foods.\u00a0 It’s also incredibly simple to make, so there’s really no excuse for buying jarred salsa.\u00a0 I came up with this dish over the summer, when we had fresh tomatoes from the garden.\u00a0 It’s easy to throw together, and it quickly became a weeknight staple.<\/p>\n
