Healing leaky gut: day 18

I know I'm getting bored and monotonous with my breakfasts, but for the past year I've been drinking smoothies every morning and it's hard to let go of the good habit. I feel like it's good for me and I think it's delicious! The difference now is that I don't use dairy, coconut or soy products in my smoothies. Cold tea works just fine as a substitute!

My hip hurt when I woke up, but it slowly got better during the day. It's been an active day, so the slow cooker was perfect. Took an hour for lunch and took the opportunity to prepare dinner then, so it was just a matter of setting the table when it was time to eat in the evening. Very convenient!


Breakfast

Exotic Smoothie


Snacks

Freshly squeezed grapefruit and orange juice


Lunch

Vegetable soup with smoked turkey

Apple


Snacks

Mangoglass

Ingredients

1 frozen mango

1 fresh mango

Instructions

Allow the frozen mango to thaw slightly, then blend everything in a blender. If it doesn't get the right consistency, put it in the freezer for about 1 hour. Enjoy!

Yum! Simple and so delicious! My youngest daughter wanted more!!


Dinner

Hearty meat stew

Ingredients

800 stewing steak

3 slices of bacon

1 dl fresh coriander

0.5 dl fresh thyme

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon turmeric

2 tsp ginger

5 dl broth

0.5 dl olive oil

Fry the bacon hard. Place the stew pieces and bacon in the slow cooker. Peel, chop and cut the vegetables into pieces, add to the slow cooker. Squeeze over the garlic. Add the olives, spices and fresh herbs, as well as the broth and olive oil. Grate over the zest of one lime.

Put the slow cooker on low heat for 8 hours. Enjoy!

A rich and tasty stew with well-balanced flavors.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 22

    Another “stay at home with sick kids-day”, this time with the eldest daughter...Today I made Kale chips and Honey Candied Ginger and Bacon-Apple Burgers with Cranberry Sauce. It's fun to try new creations, especially now that I've prioritized my time in the kitchen. Instead of trying to make the food as quickly as possible, I'm enjoying all the smells, colors and flavors. When was the last time you spent luxurious time in the kitchen?

  • Healing leaky gut: day 21

    My older kids were off from school. My son stayed with me all day. I avoided the kitchen and tried to spend as much time as possible with him instead. He was still not fully recovered from his cold, so it was a quiet "Mommy Day" of indoor play.

  • Healing leaky gut: days 19 and 20

    It's been a weekend with sick kids and home crafts. I've been extremely craving coffee and chocolate, but have managed to stay away from my vices:-). I continue to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and my husband is happy every time he sits down at the dinner table. The kids aren't as flirty though, especially now that they've been feelin unwell. But they certainly eat more fruit and vegetables and less sweets now compared to what they did around Christmas.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 17

    Another day off, but today with a much more energetic son. He got to help with the cooking, which he usually thinks is super fun. He's going to be a chef when he grows up, he says.

    I decided to go for a walk when my husband finally came home in the evening, unfortunately I felt my bad hip halfway up the hill. I haven't felt it for a long time and I am always so disappointed when it hurts like that. I hope the pain is gone tomorrow when I wake up.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 16

    It was a day off today. My son is feeling unwell. Good thing I had leftovers in the fridge. For dinner, I managed to make a very tasty and easy salmon with mango salsa. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery, have boosted him with probiotics, fresh fruit (kiwi and oranges) and tea and manuka honey. It should work wonders!

  • Healing leaky gut: day 15

    I'm halfway through the tough part of this project! It actually feels wonderful! I crave coffee and chocolate and now it won't be long before I get to introduce this into my diet again. I'm really looking forward to it! Today there has been some really good food on the menu. If every day looks like this, I have no problem whatsoever in continuing to eat this way. The food is both beautiful to look at, tastes amazing and is healthy! And on top of that, I feel great:-)
