Red Thai Beef Stirfry 🍜 If I was in a flare I probably would swap the beef but then if I was in a flare I wouldn’t be eating any of this! It’s good to get the veggies in when I’m relatively settled and try and build a bit of health back up, especially as I have been feeling so exhausted lately. I chose the veggies based on what I can handle. It was so easy as everything came ready to go straight into the wok for a stress free dinner when I’m not in the mood for much cooking 🥢

Simple carbonara 👌🏼 Ok so maybe I shouldn’t really be eating this because of the eggs and the whole ‘no immune system’ thing, but it’s quick and comforting so once in a while surely won’t hurt!

“ Not only do employees with IBD have a strong work ethic, 52% of the survey respondents claimed that that they work harder to make up for any shortcomings as a result of their condition and 40% worry that their colleagues or managers think they are not “pulling their weight” at work on occasions. Of the young people questioned, 69% feel that their IBD has prevented them from reaching their full educational potential, and over half have already ruled out some career options. When thinking about future employment, most (82%) are worried about managing their symptoms; 66% are concerned about not being able to do their work adequately and 65% worry about employer flexibility. “

Just because a medication, treatment, or mobility aid is helpful doesn’t mean you have to like it. It’s perfectly acceptable to be thankful, while being upset that your life is different than you imagined it would be.

Throw back to seeing in the new year with chambord and roasted beetroot salad 🥂So many veggies are off limits, it always makes me happy when I find a good salad without actually having to add salad!

Ok so not particularly healthy, but some days you just need a good roast ❤️

Morrocan lamb with dates 👍🏻 Slow cooked so it's nice and tender and easier to digest - cinnamon and dates give it some sweetness - nice served with couscous 💕
