Kindness

Tomorrow, Friday 13th November (unlucky for some!) is World Kindness Day!  How cool is that?  Really every day should be world kindness day but I don’t think people give it much thought so it’s really good that there’s a day to highlight the benefits of kindness and to remind people why we should all be […]

Easter brunch. #glutenfree #dairyfree banana stuffed pancakes topped with mango, raspberries, strawberries and banana with 🥓 on the side. Had it with coconut yogurt and maple syrup 😋. 95% of the time I’m grain-free but I can get away with the odd gluten-free slice of bread/cake/pancake without any bad reaction so enjoyed these today. 👌 #crohnsdisease #crohns #ibd #guthealth #pancakes #brunch
Snowy walks today. Everywhere so pretty. #snow #stormemma #dublin
Snowy day calls for a comforting lunch. Trying @cullyandsully chicken broth with veggies and a side avocado toast with #theculturedfoodcompany ruby red sauerkraut on top. New favorite way to have #sauerkraut. #glutenfree #dairyfree #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #lunch
One of my New Year’s healthy habits I want to cultivate is making sure I eat at least nine portions of fruit and veg (mostly veg) a day to help me increase my fiber intake. This lot should help me reach that target today 💪. And while I’’m going to aim to increase my raw veg intake this year and see what I can handle, I’m always mindful of my digestion so I still cook most. #progress #everybitcounts #alltheveggies #morevegetablesthanavegetarian #healthyhabits #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #nutrition
It’s stormy outside so perfect for curling up with a warming turmeric latte (Golden Mylk). I whizzed up hot coconut milk, turmeric powder, cinnamon powder, a pinch of black pepper (to activate the turmeric) and then added a spoon of MCT oil and some collagen powder to thicken it up and make it go a bit frothy. 👌 but I can definitely work on my froth game 😂. #goldenmylk #turmericlatte #antiinflammatory #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd
Happy New Year! Starting 2018 off with a healthy brunch - leafy greens (non starchy veg), butternut squash (carb), smoked salmon and grilled salmon (protein) and some avocado and olive oil (healthy fats). Balanced plate👌. Last year was a brilliant year - I got married, went on the most amazing honeymoon, had life changing surgery in March (had a foot of intestines removed) and have been Crohn’s free ever since. It’ll be hard for 2018 to top that but sure I’ll give it a go 😊. #happynewyear #brunch #balancedplate #crohns #crohnsdisease #glutenfree #dairyfree #paleo #nutrition
