Lentil Bolognese with Gluten Free Pasta This recipe is an absolute classic! It has been adapted from a lentil ragu recipe I found on the BBC Good Food website so I can’t take any credit for it. The adaptions make it a little more MS friendly. When I first started following the Mediterranean diet, I… Continue reading Lentil Bolognese

Spring Vegetable Chowder
This week's recipe is a Spring Vegetable Chowder. It doesn't look overly appetising but it tastes lovely! I promise! What I like most about it is that everyone will like it making in a different way, which makes it fun to share in a blog post.

Apricot, Pear and Orange Flapjacks
Whenever I am looking for a new recipe, or wondering what fruit and vegetables are ‘In Season’, the first place I always look is in the free magazines that all of the supermarkets do now. What incredible sources of knowledge they are. I have found many amazing recipes in these magazines. Some of them need… Continue reading Apricot, Pear and Orange Flapjacks
The A to Z of MS
I have been thinking for a while about doing one of those challenges you see so often on social media. Something based around posting everyday and MS obviously. I put it into Google and found the A to Z Challenge website: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2017/02/announcing-2017-blogging-from-to-z.html I know it was an April challenge but better late than never!!

Vegan Life Live Exhibtion
This weekend, I had the pleasure of exploring the Vegan Life Live exhibition at Event City, Manchester. I had never been before so I was unsure what to expect. My new MS defeating diet is not vegan, but I was hoping to pick up some ideas that were dairy-free. I was most impressed that a lot of the products on offer were also gluten-free and refined sugar-free. I was in heaven!
Chicken Fajitas and Avocado Salsa
So, as I mentioned in my last post, I would like to share with you all some of the yummy things I have learnt to cook since starting the Mediterranean Diet. At the beginning I was so overwhelmed by it all, and I was very worried I would just be eating lettuce leaves from that point on. Which is not true. I don't even think I have eaten a lettuce leaf yet!
So I would like to start with something easy. I found a recipe in a Marks and Spencer cookbook I bought ages ago, called Easy Salads. It is deconstructed Chicken Fajitas and Avocado Salsa. It is amazing! So tasty, with a citrus sauce on the chicken, and you can put it with whatever bits of salad you fancy. The recipe below is based on this Marks and Spencer recipe, with my little tips and adaptations added in there to make it MS friendly.
The Mediterranean Diet
I am sure that most MS sufferers have been told by their doctor that they should adopt the Mediterranean Diet to help ease their symptoms, external ones or internal. It was pretty much the first thing my doctor said to me. At first, I was like: 'Oh ok, that is doable. I like fish as… Continue reading The Mediterranean Diet
