Healing leaky gut: day 23

The kids are more energetic now, but the oldest daughter was home from school today too. Unfortunately, my hibernating means I haven't had time to write the articles about what leaky gut is yet. But anyone waiting for something good...hopefully my articles will be done before I finish these 30 days:-)


Breakfast

Exotic Smoothie


Snacks

Herb meatballs


Lunch

Bacon-Apple Cannon Burgers with Cranberry Sauce


Snacks

Apple


Dinner

Spaghetti and meat sauce

Ingredients

Spaghetti

1 spaghetti squash

2 tbsp olive oil

¼ teaspoon sea salt

Pesto

1 liter lightly packed baby spinach

0.5 dl olive oil

2 cloves of garlic

a pinch of sea salt

Meat sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

400 gr minced beef

1 tbsp mixed dried herbs

½ tsp sea salt

1 dl black olives

Homemade pesto as above

Instructions

Set the oven to 220 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Place in ovenproof tray with the cut side down. Add 1 cm of water to the ovenproof tray. Put in the oven for about 60 minutes.

Then take out and scoop out with a fork. Salt and lightly oil the spaghetti before serving.

Place the baby spinach, olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until it looks like pesto. Done!

Fry the minced meat relatively hard, without burning it. Add the herbs and salt. Just before serving, add chopped olives and the homemade pesto. Enjoy!

Wow, can't believe I've missed spaghetti squash before. I've probably only had it a few times and I can't remember it being this good! The meat sauce has a grown-up taste, so it didn't really go well with the kids, unfortunately. Me and my husband thought this was a great alternative to the classic spaghetti and meat sauce.

  • Healing leaky gut: days 26 and 27

    A tough weekend. It's clearly easiest to keep this eating pattern when the kids are at school or kindergarten. Standing and making pancakes for them, without getting to eat them myself is not a dream scenario, but a weekend tradition...So I struggle on. And I know I've already achieved some of my goals, which is very motivating. I knew there would be tougher days ahead, but I wasn't really prepared for them to come right now.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 25

    A nice and sunny day! Starting to feel ready for the next step in my project now. Next week I'm going to start introducing eggs back into my diet, among other things, and I feel like that's going to help me in the kitchen. Especially with breakfast. I'm still lacking good alternatives for breakfast, as I find it very difficult to eat meat for breakfast. It just doesn't work. The only meat that I think is ok to eat early in the morning is my new favorite: herb meatballs:-)

  • Healing leaky gut: day 24

    One big difference since I started this project is that I feel much more energetic now. And that was one of my goals when I started. It's good to see a difference, because it really motivates me to continue eating healthier, even in the future!

    This project is not meant to end abruptly after 30 days, I see it rather as a test on many levels and that I really give my body a break from everything that could create inflammation and irritation. Continuation will follow even after the first 30 days, when for example eggs, coffee and chocolate will be back in the diet, if my body allows.

  • 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.
