Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
I love gooey, sticky, comforting meals with sauce and rice and deliciousness! This can actually be achieved when eating clean, healthy, low allergen foods! One of my favourite meals is sweet and sour pork with rice. This was what was on the menu last night, on a cold and rainy day, so I will share the recipe with you. I […] Read more…
Having food intolerances can be debilitating and disheartening. I have had symptoms for the past 10 years, but went misdiagnosed til 2 years ago. I have been hospitalised. I have had days and days off work. I have had so much pain that I have been told I will be prepared for child birth when that day […] Read more…
I have gained such a good hold on my strict diet these days that I don’t often get issues resulting from food now. This makes it all worth it! It is a very strict diet, but for the most part I enjoy it now, and don’t want for other foods very often (apart from the […] Read more…
I woke up this morning inspired, and hungry for pancakes!! What transpired where more like hot porridge cakes, and were delicious! To top it off, they are nutritional and guilt free! What could be better?! To make these gluten free, dairy free, egg free, fructose friendly breakfast hot cakes, this is what I did! Mash […] Read more…
One thing I that have struggled with on my strict diet is what to have for snacks. With my other health issues, I need to eat every 2-3 hours, and I am not going to cook up a meal every time! I needed to find easy and quick foods, that could travel in my bag with […] Read more…
I am an absolute green smoothie convert. They are delicious and pack so many nutrients into a quick drink. With my food intolerances, I find that they are awesome for breakfast or for afternoon tea (or both!). They give me something fresh and tasty, that isn’t processed and full of sugar but is easy to […] Read more…
I have been thinking today about how important it is to keep pushing for answers when you know something is wrong in your body, despite being told you’re healthy. I went from doctor to doctor and had test after test for years, and everything kept coming back normal. Each doctor would eventually shrug their shoulders, […] Read more…
I have just had the energy to make a cake! Sure, it was after I lay in bed til gone 11am, but I will take small achievements!!! So as I sit here and drink my green smoothie lunch, the smells of an orange and blueberry almond cake waft from the oven!! This cake is gluten […] Read more…
Last night for dinner, I made the most super easy, healthy slice. A friend actually told me about this slice, and with a few tweaks and by keeping in mind your own tolerance levels, most people with fructose malabsorption should be able to have this!: Steam one sweet potato and purée it in the food […] Read more…
Since discovering I have Fructose Malabsorption mid 2011, and then finding more and more foods that cause me issues over the following year, I have had to drastically change my diet. Being a “FructMal” means that I have to closely monitor my amounts of foods containing FODMAPS (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols), which all […] Read more…
