Chocolate Friands

When it comes to food I confess I will 9 times out of 10 choose a sweet over a savoury option. Although in the past 2 years that sweet option will need to come out of my kitchen as my body just does not agree with the highly refined sugar, white flour, egg laden goodies available in pastry shops, cafes and supermarkets. It all started when I developed gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy and had to be on insulin shots throughout the last 3 months of my pregnancy. Since then I've been petrified of developing diabetes and have consciously changed the way and foods I eat. I'm still a long way off from where I want to be but it's an evolving process and I am thankful for the numerous food blogs and growing number of health conscious resources available nowadays.
