Highs & Lows: Life Alongside Diabetes — Focaccia w/ Loree

On this episode of our limited series Highs & Lows, Melissa talks with her mom Loree about Diabetes in school, understanding diagnosis when it’s your child, negotiating responsibility for care and treatment—all interrupted by an untimely (and classic...) low blood sugar while they were recording.

And since it’s her favorite, it is all too appropriate that we are talking about focaccia on Loree’s episode! This olive oil-rich sheet-pan baked bread is delicious, easy (and forgiving), and can be topped with pretty much anything you feel like throwing at it. You can find this recipe on the blog.

Bryan Ford, who we mention briefly in the episode, is the author of New World Sourdough and host of the Magnolia Network show The Artisan’s Kitchen. You can find him on Instagram @artisanbryan and you can find his blog and cook book at the links below:

Highs & Lows is a limited series exploring what life with chronic illness means for those who live alongside diagnosis—not in it themselves. In each episode Melissa sits down with a member of her family to talk through their personal memories of shared experiences with Diabetes, treatments, and all the funny/difficult bits in-between.
