Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
When things get tough and life is not going the way you had hoped, it is easy to wonder what is the point of having dreams and plans. However, the worst thing you can do is to stop working for the way you want your life to be. Do your best to not give into […] Read more…

I feel quite happy with my progress on the Autoimmune Protocol. If nothing else, I have decided that I am much better off not sneaking in the foods I know that am intolerant to (who knew?!). I have decided that I am going to continue to avoid grains, gluten, nightshades, sugar, and the foods I am […] Read more…
Week six! This is flying by. I would say my progress this week is similar to last week’s. I have had the added nuisance of regular nausea though, which I am frustrated and confused by! Does anyone else have issues with meat, and different ways of cooking meat? I have had problems with slowed cooked and […] Read more…
This week began with a visit to a friend’s place which involved food. I cut up a pile of carrots, celery, and cucumber, and created a pesto.

I have now completed week three of this diet, and boy, has this week been about cravings! I haven’t given into them or cheated, however I have eaten more fruit than I should to compensate. I have also been eating quite a lot of coconut. I am realising that this is not a good thing […] Read more…
Apologies for the late announcement of the next book for our book club. I have really been unwell lately, and even writing a blog post is hard work! I realise we are meant to start the book tomorrow, so I thought I better jump on and choose one! This is a fairly a short story, […] Read more…
