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 prioritised my time in the kitchen. Instead of trying to make the food as quickly as possible, I'm enjoying all the smells, colours and flavours. When was the last time you spent luxurious time in the kitchen?


Breakfast

Raspberry Smoothie


Snacks

Blueberries

Kale chips (kale chips)

Ingredients

1 litre loose-packed kale (cut out the middle, i.e. only the thin parts are used)

1 tbsp avocado oil

A pinch of salt

Instructions

Cut off the hard part in the middle and cut the cabbage into crisp-sized pieces. Wash the cabbage and leave to dry. This step is important. If the cabbage is wet, you will not get crispy chips.

Place in an ovenproof tray, pour in the oil and mix well, making sure the oil is evenly distributed. Salt lightly. Place in the oven, 135 degrees for 45-60 minutes. Eat immediately or they will become soft. Enjoy!


Lunch

Turkey Cabbage Rolls


Snacks

Strawberries

Ginger honey and honey-candied ginger

Ingredients

200 gr fresh ginger

5 dl water

3 dl honey

Instructions

Peel and cut the ginger into pieces as thin as possible.

Boil the ginger in the water for about 45 minutes with the lid on. Then boil without the lid for another 15 minutes.

Drain the water, but leave 0.75 dl in the pot with the ginger. Add the honey and cook uncovered on a low heat for about 30 minutes. Pour into a glass jar. Leave to cool. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

I love ginger and its positive effects. Here, a small spoonful or a small piece of ginger is enough as it really is a concentrated ginger flavour. Great to have in tea or to snack on!


Dinner

Bacon-Apple Burgers with Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce

Ingredients

5 dl fresh or frozen cranberries

1 dl maple syrup

0.5 dl water

Instructions

Bring the cranberries, maple syrup and water to the boil in a saucepan.

Cook uncovered for about 12 minutes, until all the cranberries have broken down.

Leave to cool and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!

Bacon-Apple Burgers

Ingredients

800 gr turkey or chicken mince

150 gr bacon

1 large apple

1 red onion

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

0.5 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Fry bacon until crispy, let cool on paper towels, cut into small pieces. Cut the apple and onion into small pieces. First fry the onion until soft, then add the apple. Fry for a further 10 minutes. Add the bacon, rosemary and salt. Mix well. Leave the mixture to cool.

Then mix well with the mince. Shape into burgers and fry for about 10 minutes per side. Enjoy!

The eldest daughter renamed these burgers “Cannon Burgers” instead of Turkey Burgers...I ate my burgers with salad. The kids ate them with bread. If I hadn't stashed away a bunch, I bet my husband would have devoured them all. A hit in other words! I loved the cranberry sauce, reminds me of lingonberry jam...and I could eat that with anything!

    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 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:-)

  • 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 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: day 30


    This is my last daily update. Now it's time for part 2 of my Healing Leaky Gut project. I will be focusing on finishing my article series as well as reintroducing cocoa, coffee, soy, dairy, nuts etc into my diet to see how my body responds to it. This will take a while and I'll try to keep you updated on how it's going. Enjoy!

  • 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:-)
