🌟 VEGGIE PASTA 🌟 _ 🥑 Continuing the avocado-theme! This was a really easy pasta I made the day after my avocado hand saga (I cut my hand getting the stone out of an avocado and had to go to A&E and get stitches!) _ 🥑 I heated up some GF penne pasta, and stirred in some @moorishumous for the sauce (their avocado one) plus some leftover griddled vegetables my friends had made the night before (peppers and courgettes). _ 🥑 If making from scratch: 🌈 Chop up 1 courgette and 1 yellow pepper into slices. 🌈 Boil your portion of pasta (I used maize or rice flour based pasta). 🌈 Whilst the pasta is cooking griddle you’re vegetables on a griddle pan! 🌈 Drain the pasta, stir in the avocado humous from @moorishumous, and spoon in your veggies too. Done! _ #ArthritisFoodie
🥑 WEEKEND BRUNCH 🥑 _ I love poached eggs and avocados, so simple to make - takes less than 15 minutes. Easy weekend brunch at home! _ 🌈 You will need (makes 1, so just double up if it is for 2!) 🥑 1 avocado 🥑 2 eggs 🥑 2 slices of spelt flour sourdough bread 🥑 Vegan cream cheese (coconut based one from Sainsbury’s is what I used!) 🥑 Seasoning; dairy free butter, sea salt, black pepper, and chilli flakes _ 🥑 To make: 🌈 Scoop out the flesh of the avocado, mash up and mix with sea salt, black pepper and chilli flakes (optional). 🌈 Boil the kettle and heat the water until it bubbles, crack the eggs into two separate mugs, and put them into the water when it is bubbling. 🌈 Turn down the heat and the poached egg should take 2-4 minutes to cook. 🌈 Toast the slices of bread, spread the butter and vegan cream cheese on top then layer the avocado on top. 🌈 Add your poached eggs! Yummy. _ 🥑 Health benefits of avocados: 🌈 Nutrient rich in vitamins C, E, K and B-6, folate, magnesium, potassium, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. 🌈 A 2010 review published in the journal The Physician and Sportsmedicine found that key ingredients helped patients with their osteoarthritis pain. 🌈 Monounsaturated fats that help to protect against heart disease suggested by research. 🌈 Rich in fibre. _ 🌈 More info on spelt flour bread: 🍞It contains gluten but it is higher in fibre, which aids the digestion of gluten. 🍞 Has a different molecule make up than gluten in wheat. 🍞 It’s a nutritious whole grain flour, rich in calcium, selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins. _ #ArthritisFoodie
❤️ SURVIVAL KIT ❤️ _ Today is #WorldKindnessDay and surviving our bad days involves the use of a survival kit, and kindness is at the heart of it all. Kindness to ourselves, kindness from others, and kindness to others. _ However you are feeling today, that mid-week, hump-day, slump-day feeling we can all feel... or maybe it’s a bad week, or a bad month, know that you will be okay and it will get better. Hold on. _ For two years when I first got my arthritis I was in limbo-land, wondering what on earth was happening to my joints, wondering whether it would ever get better, wondering if I would feel okay again. I got there eventually, and I’m still getting there now! Without the bad days, we can’t be grateful for the good ones, and both of them make this rainbow tapestry of life. _ ➡️ MY SURVIVAL KIT 🌈 Talking. Talk it out, talk until you can’t talk anymore, and if the tears start coming - let them. Don’t hold them in. 🌈 Hugs. From your mum, your sibling, your best friend, your colleague, or your pet. Hug it out, and I’m telling you your worries will feel a whole lot smaller. 🌈 Time. Make time for yourself, read a book, take a bath, go for a walk, do something human and come away from your phone. 🌈 Patience. This too shall pass. Just like you’ve survived a flare-pain-crap-day before, you will do it again, but at your own pace. 🌈 Positivity. Try and turn things upside down, so I’ve got a hospital appointment, okay fine, that just means I’ll get myself a treat afterwards! _ **💫 Spooky moment 💫** I wrote this at lunchtime, and my colleague interrupted me before I posted it to ask how long it took me to get my diagnosis, then began to cry as she’s really going through something at the moment - and I had no idea - I told her all of the above and gave her a big hug too. You just never know what the even the person next to you is going through! Always be kind. _ #ArthritisFoodie
🧡 SWEET SATURDAY 🧡 _ 🧡 This morning’s chocolate plant milk based breakfast, a sweet and sunny Saturday morning... as it is now raining, windy and cold! _ 🧡 If you’re in the UK and have been effected by the floods - sending lots of love to you! My grandma messaged to say it’s pretty bad back home (South Yorkshire/Nottinghamshire) and it’s getting to be bad where my parents are too (Derbyshire)! 😥 _ 🌈 RECIPE DETAILS: 200ml of chocolate flavoured plant milk 2 mini bananas (or 1 big one) 40g porridge oats 1 tbsp of @pipandnut smooth peanut butter 1 tsp raw cacao powder 1 tsp honey or maple syrup Water (if you don’t want it to be too thick add this in to change the consistency!) Blend! I use @breville. _ 🌈 HEALTH BENEFITS: Instead of listing the benefits of these ingredients today, I’d like to ask for a favour please (!) - are there are particular foods, or historical medical practises (ie. Ancient Chinese Medicine) that you’d like me to research for the book? For instance: turmeric, anti-inflammatory foods, Mediterranean diet and so on? Drop a message to me or comment below! Thank you! _ #ArthritisFoodie
👑 Queen Squash Soup 👑 _ My lunch for the week!! Thick, a little spicy, and a little sweet - and of course - warm for this icy winter we are already having 😳 makes 5 portions! _ I ordered a Sainsbury’s Chop Chop (up to 25 items delivered via bicycle through an app) and I was given a Queen Squash in replacement of a normal squash, more info about it below the recipe 🙌 _ 🌈 You will need: 👑1 queen squash 👑1 butternut squash 👑4 sweet potatoes 👑3 small red onions 👑4 garlic cloves 👑1 tsp chipotle flakes per veggie tray 👑900ml water 👑Veg stock (I use organic @saykallo for the most natural based one!) 👑Olive oil _ 🌈 To make: 🧡 Preheat your oven to 200° then peel and chop all of your orange vegetables (sweet potatoes, queen squash, butternut squash) and place on oven trays. 🧡 Drizzle some olive oil onto the veggies and sprinkle the chipotle flakes too. 🧡 Cook for 20 minutes before turning over. Put on for another 20 minutes. 🧡 In this time, peel and chop your garlic and onions, fry in a large pan for 10 mins in olive oil. When the roasted veg is done add this to the pan and stir together, before adding your water and veg stock. 🧡 Simmer for 10-15 minutes. 🧡 Blend! Separate into Tupperwares for the week - it lasts 4 days, so I freeze the 5th portion! Let me know if you make it 🤗 _ 👑 QUEEN SQUASH 👑 🌈 Has a sweet and creamy flavour, similar to butternut squash in taste. 🌈 Looks like Cinderella's carriage before the Fairy Godmother arrived. 🌈 Does have a thicker skin than butternut squash so does require peeling. 🌈 I can’t find any specific health benefits articles dedicated to the Queen of Squashes, but I’m presuming it has all the same ones as a good old fashioned squash! _ #ArthritisFoodie
