Three years ago today, I wrote my first post which began:
Welcome to Diabetic Foodie! This blog is for people who love food, love to cook and love to eat, but also just happen to be diabetic.
I’ve come a long way since then. I’ve met Patricia Wells and Curtis Stone. I’ve learned that gorgeous photos are a big part of having a food blog. Mine certainly aren’t gorgeous yet, but they are much better than they were three years ago. I’ve gotten to know some amazing bloggers via Virtual Potluck, Sunday Supper and many other projects. And I’ve gotten a lot of free stuff – cookbooks, kitchen tools, flour, grains, olive oil, cereal, snacks, cookware, eggs. The list goes on and on. The life of a food blogger is good.
To celebrate how much I love what I do, I’m giving away a Kobo Mini e-reader plus a copy of Healthy Snacks to Go by Katie Kimball of kitchenstewardship.com. Katie was kind enough to offer me a free copy of her e-book to give away and I’m very grateful.
If you aren’t familiar with the Kobo product line, it’s the independent bookstores’ answer to Kindle and Nook. The Grillmaster got the Kobo Glo for Christmas and he loves it. I’m not getting anything in return for talking about the Kobo brand, but I do like to support my local independent bookstores whenever I get a chance.

Congrats on your 3rd year blogging, Shelby! Time flies! And, what a great way to celebrate with this giveaway!. Favorite healthy snack is a small handful of mixed nuts or a small bowl of pistachios (they last a long time because of the time it takes to get the meat out of the shell.)
Apple slices or celery with a little organic peanut butter.
Healthy popcorn. You can eat a fairly large portion for a few calories and it satisfies my need for crunch!
