As anyone with a chronic illness willknow, sometimes sleep just isn't your friend.We're trying to pace and race and yet some nights are restless or pain disrupts a deep slumber. It's been one of those kind of weeks for me so I decided to mix it up one day, and head out for a stroll with the dog before work and bathe in the morning light. Not only can the early light help regulate the body clock, but gentle movement, within the energy envelope/spoons allocation, can make it easier to sleep at night. Back when I was more ill, this might have looked like letting in a little light to the bedroom. Wherever you are at I hope you can find some rest. When we can't rest, sometimes we can find other ways to restore. Wishing all my fellow Spoonies restoration.#chronicillness #chronicillnesssupport #spoonies #spooniestrong #CFSME #mindfulliving #mindfulmoment #mindbodyandspoons #fibromyalgia #fibro #longcovid #lowhistamine #histamineintolerant #histamineintolerance #chronicillnessmentalhealth

Did you see our ´Story´ today? The first of our 'breathe' series. If you did, did you enjoy it? If you haven´t seen it, go take that 15seconds for yourself and just breathe.Taking time to centre yourself, to be mindful of yourself in the moment, to reconnect deeply is underestimated and undervalued.Meditations hold many benefits, mentally and physically, but finding the time can be difficult. But, even 15seconds, a few in and out breaths, can help you regain your balance for the day.Just. Breathe.We´ll have more of this series coming soon, along with regular updates to the website. So check in with us for more helpful and encouraging chronic illness management and support guides.#mcasrecipes #cfsme #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #lowhistaminediet #chronicillnesscooking #15s #breathedeep #tastyfood #lowfatdiet #chronicillnesssupport #mcascooking #chronicillnesschef #foodwriter #foodwriterlife #mastcellactivation #mcas #mcasawareness #lowcarb #feelgoodfood #eattherainbow #lowhistamine #glutenfree #lowcarb #mcasrecipe #lowhistaminecooking #SIGHI #lifewithchronicillness #breatheinbreatheout

Lamb cutlets with roasted turmeric potatoes and braised cavolo nero and carrots. Keeping it simple and tasty!Meals dont have to be fancy or super-hyped for them to healthy, nutritious, and delicious!

Craving an Antipodean classic, tonight was my MCAS take on Apricot Chicken.Made with fresh apricots, eschallots, and a herb/spice blend, this low histamine version tastes as good as the original Maggi recipe.Served with a side of tender-stem broccoli and creamy risotto (made without hard cheese), it made for a perfectly balanced dinner.Leave a comment if you´d like the recipe when it´s available!#mcasrecipes #cfsme #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #lowhistaminediet #chronicillnesscooking #healthyfood #tastyfood #lowfatdiet #fodmap #mcascooking #chronicillnesschef #foodwriter #foodwriterlife #mastcellactivation #fodmapfriendly #mcas #mcasawareness #lowcarb #ketodiet #feelgoodfood #eattherainbow #lowhistamine #glutenfree #lowcarb #mcasrecipe #lowhistaminecooking #SIGHI #aussieclassic #aussierecipe

A working lunch with some punch! There´s a lot of talk about getting the most from your day and increasing your sleep or exercise routines.But, getting the right amount of nutrients to support activity when you´re on a restricted diet can be difficult.So, eat the rainbow at every meal - it´s easier than you may think. For instance, today we´re having salad with light green lettuce, dark green cucumber, yellow peppers, orange carrots, red radishes, and a red salad dressing from light olive oil and distilled vinegar with sweet paprika and golden linseed.To bump up the protein, we´ve added in some sautéed chicken breast and toasted pistachios and pumpkin seeds. Not pictured is the #glutenfree potato farl with cream cheese and green scallion tops.A tasty and filling lunch that´ll power us through the rest of the day.So, what´s on your menu for today?#mcasrecipes #cfsme #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #lowhistaminediet #chronicillnesscooking #healthyfood #tastyfood #lowfatdiet #fodmap #mcascooking #chronicillnesschef #foodwriter #foodwriterlife #mastcellactivation #fodmapfriendly #mcas #mcasawareness #lowcarb #ketodiet #feelgoodfood #eattherainbow #lowhistamine #glutenfree #lowcarb #mcasrecipe #lowhistaminecooking #SIGHI

Wimbledon and its famous strawberries, something that many with #MCAS can feel like they´re missing out on.So, how about some blackberries, blueberries and cream? It may not be exactly the same, but it sure tastes good just the same!#mcasrecipes #cfsme #chronicillness #fibromyalgia #lowhistaminediet #chronicillnesscooking #healthyfood #tastyfood #lowfatdiet #fodmap #mcascooking #chronicillnesschef #foodwriter #foodwriterlife #mastcellactivation #fodmapfriendly #mcasawareness #lowcarb #ketodiet #feelgoodfood #lowhistamine #glutenfree #lowcarb #mcasrecipe #lowhistaminecooking #SIGHI
