In this post I promised a follow up blog where I described my main mistakes when trying to work out what food choices suited my body the best. These mistakes are not regrets (so, my apologies for the title, I just really like alliteration). I learned a lot from making them.
That said, if I can possibly help you avoid running into similar problems yourself, then consider me having taken one many for the team.
I have updated this post (I am writing to you in June 2019 and the post was originally written in 2016). It was wordy. Yawn! This smoothie doesn’t need a rant. It just needs to be embraced.
An even tastier variation is available in my glorious paperback; Periods, Poo & A Glorious You but for now, the original base recipe will do just dandily.
Winter is well and truly here. I’m still wearing shorts religiously. Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike wearing pants? I digress.
In humble Adelaide I’m freezing my little titties off!!! I know, Rachel, GET SOME PANTS! Again, I digress.
Is it just me or is Monday the perfect day to get your procrasti-bake on? I’m on swot-vac and with my next exam not until next Friday I’m not feeling much urgency yet. There is no guilt in leaving the books for a little while and following my instincts in the kitchen – my own personal form of therapy (that and barefoot beach walks).
The other day I had the idea to make a muffin recipe that included bone marrow (after this bone marrow custard recipe went down a treat with my family).
I’ve learned a major lesson over the past 5 months – one that I feel is too important not to share.
You may remember that I had a liver biopsy in January and experienced internal bleeding – catch up here. Despite the pain, uncomfortable recovery period and anaesthetic side effects, it thankfully showed me the results I wanted (a real life example of autoimmunity in remission) .
Oh how I love me a good ritual. They take ordinary tasks to the next level and remind me to take some time for myself, even if it’s just a few minutes out of a whole, full, busy day. Below are my 5 favourite quick and easy rituals that don’t really take any extra time out of your day (maybe a minute here or there at the most!), but will leave you feeling uber pumped and full of warm fuzzies!
Yesterday a miracle occurred in my kitchen. You see, for years I’ve been trying to perfect gluten free crepes for mum and I keep falling short. Most gluten free pancake recipes are thick and fluffy, as they are easier to flip and if you do find crepe-style instructions, they use buckwheat flour (mum doesn’t like this) or conventional pre-mixed GF flours (full of refined ingredients and usually additives too!).
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
It’s been crazy these past few months. Full time study takes up a lot of time! To be honest with you, I’ve even had times where I’ve considered leaving the blogosphere. I didn’t want the ‘added pressure’ of maintaining a website. It’s okay my new pals Emma and Carla snapped me out of that. Real Soup HQ is here to stay.
