<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tomorrow I am off to a conference for work. Just over the day, but I am terrified of the food that I am sure will be available. Gaaaah!!! So I wanted to make some muffins to bring so that I too would have something nice to eat. And I think after a few of these.... ok I think I counted ......6... Ok I ate 6!!!!!!!!!!! Reeeeeaaaaally bad I know! But seriously... Boy are these good. you will NOT regret making them, I can promise you that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My husband said something along the lines of I'm SO gonna post these on my facebook page once you make a blog-entry about them, And I'm gonna give them some great reviews! That's some good compliments coming from him :-).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Rhubarb Muffins with Lemon Glaze</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 6 dl Gluten Free flour of choice (could use a combination of flours)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 tsp vanilla powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 tsp bicarbonate soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 tsp cinnamon</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 eggs (can be replaced with 4 egg whites for less saturated fat)</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 3 egg whites</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 1/2 dl sugar of choice (I used ca. half of the amount in coconut sugar and half normal sugar as I ran out of coconut ;-)</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 1/2 dl unsweetened applesauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 dl extra virgin olive oil</span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Turn
on the oven to 175 Celcius. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl
and sift back and forth to another bowl a couple of times to make sure
they are all properly incorporated. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cut up all the rhubarb into small thin chunks and if you like us have a lot of rhubarb, but they are a bit of a boring colour, you can add a liiiittle bit of pink food coloring to them. It really made the final product pop.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mix egg whites/egg with the sugar for a long time in a separate bowl till quite fluffy. Add the applesauce, EVOO and sift in the dry ingredients a third at a time. Then folding them in. If you feel it's to "thick" of a batter(depends on the flour) add another 1/2 dl applesauce. Then fold in the rhubarb pieces until incorporated.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use an ice-cream scoop to fill your muffincases 2/3 of the way or even a bit more if you want the proper overflowing muffin. Pop them in the oven and bake for approximately 20 min. But keep an eye as all ovens vary. And before you take them out stick a toothpick in one to see if it comes out clean. If it does, go ahead and take them out.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lemon Glaze</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Powdered sugar until desired consistency</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mix together to get a glaze. if you want it as a glaze on top then dont be afraid to add a little water to make it runnier, but if you want to a little thicker layer, then instead add powdered sugar until you get the thickness you want. Would be very nice as a thick dollop on top... very nice in deed..... Oh get a grip Jo... you just had 6!!!! ;-)</span><br />

But oh how fun it was.... Stressful, unhealthy... but oh how fuuuuun....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I made cakes...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And if I may say so myself now... I wasn't too shabby at them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am taking a break, so that I first get a chance to land in my MS and in my new lifestyle. But I am not done making cakes... I can't be. It's to big of a part of my life. This is my confession ;-)... I'm not giving up making cakes for other people even though I can no longer eat them myself. I will have to have my family taste what I make and plan ahead so I don't get stressed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I might even see if there are ways for me to make cakes for me... If I do I'll share the recipes with you here :-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is the link for my old Cake blog... It's been dormant for a while, but it is certainly not dead. I hope you like my work! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We happen to live right next door to my brother and his family. This is something that has been so amazing and such a blessing having family so close. We get along brilliantly and our kids play. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Around the time we moved in we all toyed with the idea of having weekly meals together. Then we even decided to have 2 weekly meals. One at their house and one at ours! So we did. And one and a half years later we still do!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's great! On Thursdays we make dinner and right after we've eaten I take my Avonex and head for coma. The next day I don't have to stress about cooking in my coma state because Fridays are their day!!! It's brilliant!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So to the point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Quite a few weeks ago now It was Friday and Linda (my sister-in-law) was wondering what to make with my new food restrictions... she saw a jar of salsa in her cabinet and that's when magic happened! She simply sprinkled some cod with salt and pepper, poured the salsa over and in to the oven it went. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Delicious!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So thank you to Linda for the inspiration!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I decided to try it with the salsa I had been playing with and yeah, it worked... So much so that my kids cleared the plates! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Am I selling it to you? I hope so because according to my tastebuds it was great!</span><br />

Pop in the oven for about 20 min and serve immediately with rice or quinoa and your chosen vegetable!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's exactly what it sounds like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Green.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Or at least greener than red salsa...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 3-4 medium-large tomatoes finely chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 onion finely chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1-2 large handfuls of kale (depending on how "green" you want it)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- a handful of chopped coriander/cilantro</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp ground cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 garlic clove</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- a knife's tip of Sambal Oelek</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- a dash of lime or lemon juice </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- a pinch or two of brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- pepper</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chop everything up small and mix it together to make a delicious salsa. I ran the kale, garlic and cilantro in a food processor to get it really small. Use when you make gluten free and vegan enchiladas, or go try a <a href="http://themslifestyle.blogspot.se/2014/05/salsa-salmon.html" target="_blank">Salsa Salmon</a>!?!?!? ;-) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't know how it is for you guys but what my MS nurse said about the side effects of the Avonex only lasting 8 hours is SO NOT TRUE!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I usually take mine on Thursday nights and then I am out for the next 24 hours. then for the next 15-20 I am still soooo lethargic and achy in all my joints and muscles that I am not up for much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Usually today would have been a day like that. I would have lounged around the garden all day with lots to do but no energy to do it. But for some reason I pushed through it today. I'm not saying it was easy, or I felt any better... but I pushed through it and managed to do 2 loads of laundry, AND hang them(important detail), semi clean the house... and on a day like this... let's add get up and feed the kids, change nappies and get everyone bathed and dressed to the list as well ;-D!!! We also take the bus with the kids to go to a friends birthday barbeque (My friend had gone all out on accommodating for my OMS diet by the way, so a big thank you to Emma!!! The food was soooo good!!!) and then went to do a food shop.... on the bus... with 2 kids!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yeah, today I want to call myself superwoman ;-)! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are currently car-less, and living where we do we often feel very stranded. Not great having to drag the kids along on the train or bus just to go do a food shop that will most likely last up to 2 days only as I can't carry more home. The times when we somehow can coordinate going with someone else are a life saver! Today was one of those days. Unfortunately we couldn't go in their car(no car seats for the kids), but they could take our shopping home and I then took the bus home. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So a BIG thank you to my brother Edward for taking our shop home for us today!!! <3</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While we were at the shop Penelope managed to pee through her nappy and pants and EVERYTHING was wet, so she was running around without pants. Couldn't help but smile at all the mothers smiling at me, knowing exactly what must have happened to have her running around in just her nappy at the supermarket. Lucky for us it was lovely and warm today, so warm in fact that there MUST be a thunderstorm coming our way soooon. Is it weird that I want one? I love a good thunderstorm... nothing like them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway, I am babbling :-)... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While we were waiting for the bus we found a collapsed bouncy castle with puddles in it that the girls decided would be a great way to spend the time :-)!!! And so did I. It was so nice to just let go (Q the "let it go" song in your heads) and let them have fun. I saw so many kids walk by and looking longingly at what my girls got to do. They had so much fun though, they got soaking wet and there were huge smiles on their faces. Sometimes you just have to let go and save your energy for tomorrows battles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today was a good day. Yay for seeing the good in life, even when it is rough. Yay for moments like these. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A few weeks ago my sister calls to invite us over for a little birthday bash at her house. Immediately of course I start freaking out thinking about what I can bring to not make it to painful not to be able to eat all the wonderful food that she makes (she is a guru in the kitchen). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But no, my sister assures me that she will make food that I can eat as well.... OK, so here is when I admit that I was doubtful ;-)... So I asked if there was anything I could do to bring? And all she said was that maybe some gluten free tortillas and some tzatziki made on soyghurt. So that is exactly what I did. I felt like I was taking a huge leap of faith in someone else ability to make my food. HUGE! I kept telling myself that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to stray from my diet just for one night (I know dangerous thoughts indeed). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So we went over there. And because we went really early I was there to help her prep. When she told me what we were eating I was amazed. It sounded SO GOOD... and no matter how much I kept thinking about the ingredients I couldn't find anything I wasn't allowed!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">AMAZING!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So this combination is ALL down to my sister. Like I said before she is a guru in the kitchen. This is something she made up from a trip to Greece she made where she ate something similar. You can very easily summarize her in one word: "ROCKSTAR" !!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 thinly sliced onions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- A bunch of chopped parsley</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- A splash of extra virgin olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Herbamare (herb salt) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- A slash of organic EV rapeseed oil (if using Rapeseed oil instead of Olive oil the organic and cold pressed is very important) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 bag of Quorn "chicken" bits (this is why it's ALMOST vegan, they have eggwhite in them)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Dried oregano</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Dried rosemary</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Some grated lemon zest</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1) Make your Tzatziki (it needs to rest in the fridge for a while)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) Make your Tapenade and place int he fridge</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3) Chop the tomatoes and plac ein the fridge</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4) Slice the onions and mix with the EVOO, parsley and Herbamare. Cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge. It's important to cover as otherwise your whole fridge will stink of onion!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6) Saute the Quorn Chicken bits with the EVOO, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper and the lemon zest. You can also skip the EVOO and mix the ingredients and throw in the oven to avoid "frying" on the stove completely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Serve immediately! </span><br />

Yeah.. you can use it for anything! But because it does have raw garlic in it make sure your not going on a date or something that day ;-)!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love olives, I love garlic. Spinach is great for you, as is flaxseed oil. And lemon ties it all together. Yeah this is a win! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My sister was the first one to open my eyes to tapenade years ago! And I am still thanking her. Specially now that I am on a constant lookout for a good spread to replace my previous obsession with good salty butter. So thaaaaank you JJ <3</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now I feel slightly silly posting this recipe.... because well, I dunno if I can call it a recipe....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's more a list of ingredients. And then you will just have to do what I did, adjust it to your own taste buds. I did read a recipe I randomly found online, and then I did absolutely nothing of what it said ;-)! So I'm giving you the opportunity to do the same. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is what worked brilliantly for me :-)!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-3 dl Natural Soyghurt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1 clove Garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1 Grated Cucumber (drained in a sieve)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-Salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-A splash of lemon juice or some grated lemon rind</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used only 1 clove of garlic to it as I felt I wanted to taste the other tastes too. Raw garlic can be so overpowering. stir it all together and let it infuse for at least an hour before you serve it. before you serve it add salt or anything else extra if you feel it needed more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Right after my diagnosis I was quite sad about all the food I no longer could eat (understandably)... at the beginning I was a lot stricter, no gluten, dairy, meat, legumes,yeast, egg yolks, sugar.... <span style="font-size: large;">yeah what's left right?</span> Looking through pinterest and finding the OMS support forum was my life saver. I realized that as long as I was strict on the truly important parts (saturated fat, dairy, meats, my vit d and flaxseed oil) I could add what I felt my body responded well too after. Gluten was one of those. I could really feel how much better my stomach felt. I have known for some time that gluten is not really good for anyone, whether you have a gluten intolerance or not, but have never had the reason to take the plunge since I have thought it doesn't affect me.</span><br />

So these are a definite thumbs up! I would however recommend to double the amount of brown sugar. But that is just my opinion. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As part of the OMS lifestyle (not just diet) we are supposed to meditate for 30 min daily... This is something I've been having trouble with. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have two kids, a house and a job to take care of.. I barely have time to breathe let alone meditate for 30 min a day!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was reading some posts on the oms support group on Facebook and there was someone with the same issues as me. But they came to the conclusion that things like taking a walk or gardening could be meditation as well. Emptying your mind somehow. Putting your focus on just one thing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One thing that I find very soothing is crafting. I sow, make cakes (for other people) and anything where my hands are used creatively. So I sat down and started painting some stones for my newly planted garden! It was a quick little project, but it was wonderful to just create and not think about anything else but what my fingers were doing. You shall be seeing a lot more meditation projects from me n here, that's for sure! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought it would stabilize once i started getting used to what I can and can't eat, but I'm still plummeting. I'm not complaining though ;-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ha.. so I'm opening up to you guys now!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />I am ca 181 cm tall (yes I am a Swedish giant) and about a year ago I weighed approximately 75 kg. Which isn't loads, and I had just had a baby 6 months prior. But I was on a trip with my sisters and thanks to their own weight goals(or should I say HEALTH goals) I started joining them in their quest. I started taking long walks (like 10 km) daily, and started watching what I ate. And I lost about 6 kg over the course of 6 months. So I was down to 69 kg which I was super chuffed with. I was also happy with how long it took, I was changing food habits and it showed on the scales and in my clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But then I couldn't get any further. And I felt like I had another 3 kg to loose to get back to my former jeans. But I wasn't complaining. I was quite happy with the weight i had lost and how much more healthy I felt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If I felt healthy then, GUESS what I feel now?!?!? A health FREAK is what!!! ;-D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm now down to 66 kg and the thought that I will never again yoyo in levels of healthiness is a great feeling. <span style="font-size: large;">AND THATS THANKS TO EATING FOR MY HEALTH AND NOT TO LOOSE WEIGHT....</span> sorry for shouting ;-)... But it's quite an important difference. I'm no longer body conscious out of a weight perspective because it's not important the way my health is. I'm eating to make sure I'm getting all the nutrients my body needs. And that is huge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So here is my before and after pictures. The before is from maybe 4 months after my second baby. and the after was from about 2 weeks ago. and yes, a lot of weight was probably in the hair :-D!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I now feel like I have the tools i need in my kitchen to make things. I got a mini food processor for all my tabletop needs. No need to use my very dull knives to cut up onions any more! And I have my lovely Mother-in-law to thank for that one!!! THANK YOU!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also got an amazing Ceramic pan that beats all other pans! I can now make things on the stovetop barely using ANY fat at all! Doesn't stick at all! That was a part of my belated 30th birthday prezzie from my mom. She got some for herself and didn't need them all so I got one of them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The other part was a Magic Bullet!! And I LOVE it!!! I use it at least 3-5 times a day! It's great! So today I had some watermelon at home and thought of something i haven't made in a loooong time. And now that I have the magic bullet it duesn't feel like a huge project to make. Being a medicine day today, things can't be to complicated to make or they wont get made at all!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now if you have a sweet tooth then I would add a bit of honey, but it is super refreshing and great-tasting exactly how it is in my eyes! Pop a few strawberries in there fill the rest with watermelon chunks and squeeze half a lemon in there. You could even have the whole lemon if you want, but then you would definitely need a bit of sweet in there ;-)!</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I was looking to make some gluten free chocolate chip cookies and thought that I need to find a way to make OMS friendly chocolate chips. so I mashed a banana and added a LOT of cocoa. I then spread it out on a baking sheet and popped it in the freezer. Ready to chop up and use as "chocolate chips" in my cookies. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well the cookies FLOPPED.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But it wasn't because of the chips. SO i went for another go. This time I grabbed a recipe from pinterest for banana nut muffins with chocolate chips. I adapted it a little bit and in the process I managed to forget some of the ingredients... so well, they looooooked good... but let's just say they didn't taste so good ;-).</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But once again, it wasn't because of the chocolate chips. SO for today I'm calling it quits on the muffin/cookie making and instead just sharing my idea for OMS friendly chocolate chips.</span></div>

with my "soygurt" as I actually don't mind the taste of it, and with
some yummy granola I should be able to eat like normal! SO I read
loooads of different granola recipes that all had great ideas but also
something that I could not eat or something that I didn't like (raisins
blah). So with loads of wonderful ideas fresh in mind I placed myself in
the kitchen and I brought out everything I could find in my cupboards
that could possibly help make a yummy and OMS healthy granola. I have
tweaked it slightly since the first try and i think I have come to a
very nice result that tastes good, but is also healthy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Up
until this point I have basically just been drinking a smoothie for
breakfast and it hasn't kept me for very long. I would be hungry by 10.
So hopefully now I will be full for longer and be able to feel like I
have everything I want at home to eat. Yay!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Set the oven to 130 Celcius. Mix all the "dry" ingredients in a big bowl. In a seperate small bowl mix the wet ingredients and the salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to make a paste. Then combine the two and use your hands to make sure it is evenly combined. In a deep baking dish distribute it all evenly and bake for one hour stirring a few times.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove from the oven and let cool. Then add the dried fruit. I usually add Dried bluberries. but right now i have fresh ones in our freezer, so I didn't and instead Ill add as I go along. </span><br />

Breakfasts are quickly becoming my favorite meal of the day. So many options and so quick to put together! Today's breakfast was a <a href="http://themslifestyle.blogspot.se/2014/03/kale-and-ginger-smoothie.html" target="_blank">kale/lemon/ginger smoothie</a> (I added some lemon) with two pieces of cracker bread with home made humous spread and cherry tomatoes. All made in seconds (humous was made before) and all so delicious! Obviously the cracker bread is glutenfree ;-)! I'll be attempting to make my own one day, but for now the store bought one will do ;-)!!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I'm sure plenty of you have discovered cauliflower rice by now. But for me it was new. After one taste the whole family was hooked! Both Nick and Ellie are not too fond of normal rice, so on this journey I am discovering other substitutes, that are better for us and also in many ways taste better! Win win!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So my daughter Ellie is not a huge fan of cauliflower. She LOVES broccoli however(I know... odd child). So when she saw me shedding it into the cauliflower she was ecstatic. she stood by my side almost the whole time I was making the food wondering every other second whether dinner was ready... yeah... it was ever so slightly annoying ;-)... I don't know who was more excited that dinner was ready!!! She then proceeded to eat the lot! Loved it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a good way of getting more of your sulfur rich vegetables into your diet as well (according to the Terry Wahls protocol. It is is good in every way! Maybe ever so slightly more expensive than buying rice, but I recon on par with using quinoa for example.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So if you are not avoiding saturated fat and heated unstable oils then you can heat this on the stove on high heat, browning it slightly before serving it immediately. But if you are like me and all other OMSers out there having to avoid saturated fat and not being allowed to heat our oils to high, I recommend mixing all these ingredients together(making sure they are evenly dispersed) in a baking dish and heating in the oven on 220 Celcius. Cooking times vary, but I had it in for about 20 min. Serve immediately and eat with desired sauce.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I recently got a veeeery nice ceramic frying pan that does not require any fat. So I made this on the stove with no fat and it tasted great! Just do what you would usually do, browning the garlic then adding the "rice" browning that, then adding the lemon/lime, salt, pepper and Parsley.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yay for amazing days! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This morning the girls slept in so I called Ellie's daycare and told them today was a home day. with BEAUTIFUL weather it was meant to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Out we go!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But before we go I wanted to try making up my first muffin recipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know what needs to be in a cupcake/muffin recipe in general as I have made so many in my days, but I have never made a Gluten/dairy/fat free one!?!? I have read many suggestions on Pinterest about each area (gluten, dairy, vegan, fat free) but never combined them all into one muffin before. so this is a total experiment and I am currently waiting for them to come out of the oven..... </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">...........And the result is in...... quite AMAZING!!! I can hardly believe it! Super moist, soft and bouncy, sweet but not tooo sweet and with a nice kick of cinnamon. The fact that the kids had one at the park and have been beeeeeeeeegging me for more is good enough of a review for me! Plus my neighbor stopped by and I stuffed one down her throat as well, And she approved big time!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">These shall be made again... probably often! And at 0.5 g of saturated fat per muffin I'd say that's a winner! I did decrease the oil I normally would have intended on using, by replacing half of it with Applesauce, and it worked a treat! As you will see later on in the recipe I used a sugar replacer called Eritrytol which can be found in all swedish Health food shops and now also in our grocery shops. It's the natural sugar that comes from pears, melons and mushrooms. And what is so amazing about it is that it doesn't affect your blood sugar at all. So Yeah, give it a whirl. Here it's called "Sukrin".</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 3 dl Gluten Free flour of choice (could use a combination of flours)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 egg (can be replaced with 2 egg whites for less saturated fat)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 egg white</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 dl sugar of choice (I used half stevia/eritrytol sugar and half brown sugar)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 dl unsweetened applesauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1/2 dl extra virgin olive oil</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 dl finely grated carrots (slightly heaped)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 dl finely grated zucchini </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(slightly heaped)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Turn on the oven to 175 Celcius. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and sift back and forth to another bowl a couple of times to make sure they are all properly incorporated. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Grate the Carrots and Zucchini finely. I used one small to medium carrot and about a third of a zucchini to make heaped dl measures of both. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mix egg whites/egg with the sugar for a long time in a separate bowl till quite fluffy. Add the applesauce, EVOO and sift in half of the dry ingredients. Mix on very slow until it's all just incorprated. Then fold in the carrots and zucchini and the rest of the dry mix. Do not over mix as you want as much of the air in there as possible. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Spoon into the muffin cases and bake for 15-20 min in the oven. Keep an eye though as all ovens work different! I checked with a toothpick after a while. This will make just about 12, but I would recommend making a double batch as they are delicious and the whole family will eat them, not just you. I guarantee it!!! </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">UPDATE!<br />So for all of you who are in Sweden probably can't get a hold of Xanthan Gum (I bought mine in the UK) So I would recommend using psyllium fiber instead.

<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The other thing I tried is using just egg whites instead of the egg, and if anything it was better! Soooo high and fluffy.

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of those days that you just wish you had so much more energy than you do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.. where you wish everything was perfect and nothing was wrong with you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SOooooo frustrating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Silly old me booked an appointment for an iron infusion at the hospital for early this morning forgetting that the night before it was medicine time. And Silly old me thinks that I can get through it anyway. Just pop the kids on the train with you and once you are at the hospital you can just try and keep the kids in check while you've got a needle coming out of your arm...Then after the infusion I'd just jump right back on the train and somehow make it back in my post avonex and infusion state... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'll be fiiiiiine... that's my motto ;-D!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sometimes I do have to get a clue... sometimes it's not fine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And sometimes you even need help!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">SHOCKER!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today was one of those days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My dad picked me up and dropped me off at the hospital, where my mom then took over and helped out with the kids. I ended up not getting the infusion, but that wasn't the point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It wasn't easy, but I got help. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am still struggling with the idea of needing help.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That I'm vulnerable somehow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BUT at the same time I feel that I finally have an explanation for the exhaustion and fatigue I have been feeling for such a long time. And somehow that is comforting. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Had a long chat with my mom today about what I was finding hard, and it was nice to vent! Feel loads better emotionally, and am on the mend after my medication as well. So hopefully I'll be on top tomorrow :-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So yeah, I doooo have my bad days... :-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On a more positive note...</span> I have the most amazing kids and husband! They fill me with so much love and they are the reason I get up in the morning! I honestly don't know how I would have coped if it wasn't for the motivation to stay strong for them. SO I am ending this post with some pictures of them. </span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So somehow it has to be possible to make pancakes right?! Gluten free, egg whites instead of an egg, that sort of thing. And yeah there is. Of course they aren't the real thing. But they are as close as you're gonna get ;-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I made them the first time, my husband came into the kitchen, saw them and immediately expressed his dismay at the look of them(this was that first pancake that always flops). lol... I am lucky to have a husband who will try anything no matter how gross it looks, so after trying them he totally changed his mind, and ate the lot!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This recipe I got from somewhere and I have just remembered it and can't for the life of me remember where I got it. So I am very sorry to the creator that you don't get the credit! </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gluten free Blueberry Pancakes</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 egg whites</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- sprinkle of salt </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 dl Almond milk + more</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 2 dl Gluten free Flour mix</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 tsp baking powder (gluten free)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 Tbsp chia seeds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- 1 dl frozen blueberries</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Then add the GF flour and the baking powder and mix until properly incorporated. Add the chia seeds and then some more almond milk till you get the consistency of pancake batter. I then added the blueberries and stirred to incorporate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I cooked these on the stove in my nifty cast iron pancake pan. I poured a small amount of organic extra virgin rapeseed oil in the pan, then used a kitchen towel to spread it thinly. Rapeseed oil takes a higher heat than olive oil and if it is a good quality then it is ok to use now and then. And I don't make pancakes very often, so it's ok :-)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Good luck</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So today I've had my kale, I've had my vitamin d, my omega 3's, my sulfurs and of course veeery little saturated fat! The only things missing to make this a perfect OMS day is having my colours. And by colours I of course mean colourful vegetables and berries.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I was standing in the kitchen wondering what to make for a little evening snack. The kids were in bed, hubby is at his friends house watching the champions league final and I'm peckish... You know the scene ;-)! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.....And instead of making a gluten free cupcake as was the plan at first, I realise that I'm a few veggies away from a oms/terry Wahls protocol hattrick! So I cut up some carrots made some hummus and made a berry and basil drink that was quite delicious indeed!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am looooving super healthy food!!! Who would have thought?! </span></div>

<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I just had my first appointment at the hospital yesterday for them to teach me how to take my first shot of Avonex...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now something I have to explain about myself is that I have an irrational fear of needles... so much so that when I first met my husband who happens to be diabetic, I would almost faint at the sound of him dialing up his units. Yeah THAT bad! I usually climb the walls when I have had to take bloods or take any form of injection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the years it has become better. 2 pregnancies helped. Also this last spout at the hospital when diagnosed with MS was a real needle fest! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Though it is a whole different thing to have someone take your blood than you yourself putting that needle to your thigh and firing it off... oooo.... getting woozy at the thought. BUT I did it! <span style="font-size: large;">I DID IT!!!!</span> It took a lot of psyching and a lot of tears and a lot of shaking (my whole body was going nuts).. but I DID IT!!! Anyone who knows me will know what a big deal this is. <span style="font-size: large;">It's HUGE! <span style="font-size: small;">And it wasn't too bad either... (don't tell anyone I said so).. The nurse thought it was because I had been holding it to my thigh for so long the area was numb before the needle actually went in. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After a few hours of running on the high of a huge accomplishment I soon realized that this wasn't going to be fun... and it wasn't. It started with the ache in my muscles, then the headache... and last but certainly not least the fever.... Ugh... I was shivering like nobody's business and nothing could warm me up... well of course i was plenty warm according to my husband (smoking in fact) but that's not how I experienced it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that was with Ibuprofen in my system...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So yeah... until next week eh?! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ugh...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Let's hope that the side effects only last the first 6 months... </span><br />

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those of you who have followed my recipes will know that I am trying to eliminate as much refined sugar as possible. In this recipe I have used icing/powdered sugar which of course is a refined sugar. The main reason I used this was because I used this batch for my kids easter cookies. I needed them to work the first time round. I have eaten one or two, but I haven't gone crazy the way I normally would ;-)... promise! You could replace the icing sugar with coconut sugar or stevia sugar (though you should then reduce the amount slightly as it sweetens more than sugar. But it is Easter after all.. so this time I'm cheating a liiiitle ;-)!</span><br />
<br />
Saturated fat wise though I am NOT cheating! One of these babies has about 0.15 g of saturated fat!!! Yeah, That pretty much rocks!!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sugar Cookies OMS style</span></b> </span><br />
(makes approximately 50 cookies)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-3 dl gluten free flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-2 1/2 dl icing sugar/powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-2/3 dl Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Organic Extra virgin Rapeseed oil from a reputable source</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-2/3 dl almond milk</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1 egg white</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-1/2 tsp vanilla powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">-Extra flour for dusting</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl mix the remaining ingredients till slightly frothy. start sifting the dry mixture into the wet one to eventually make a pliable dough. it should still be sliiightly wet. Then let it rest in the fridge for 20 min till you have prepped the rest of your ingredients. Set your oven to 175 Celsius and bring out your roling pin and desired cookiecutter (the cookies hold their shape beautifully). Once you have rolled them out (rather slightly to thick than to thin... I think I will make them a lot thicker next time) place them on a baking tray and bake for about 7 min. They do not turn golden brown the way normal cookies do so make sure not to wait to long. 7 min was the MAX I waited. then bring out and cool on a cooling rack. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I made this with Chicken... now all you OMSers will be like hm... chicken? is that allowed? And no.... technically I don't think it is. But the thing is that we have a freezer FULL of it and I am slowly in need of that space for things I AM allowed, like fish. SO I thought that eating a bit of chicken now and then for a little while will have to do. Financially I can't afford not to. <span style="font-size: large;">I am sure though that you could make this with quorn chicken or with chickpeas and it would taste JUST as good! </span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Chicken Saag Curry</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Splash of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 onions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4 garlic cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1-2 cm of ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4 cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 black cardamon pods</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 1/2 tsp of ground coriander</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp of tumeric</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp garam masala</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tsp cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1/4 tsp cayenne pepper </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">500 - 800 g of chicken chunks (depends on how much you want)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 tin of crushed tomatoes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 cube of bullion (make sure it's gluten free and vegan friendly) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a pinch of bicarbonate of soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a splash of maple syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Spinach, spinach, spinach(I used frozen as that is what I had at home)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Saute the onion in the EVOO for a min or so then add the crushed garlic and ginger and continue to saute for a another min. then add all the spices (cloves, cardamon, coriander, tumeric, garam masala, cumin and cayenne) stir to make sure it's all evenly spread out. Then add the chicken. Cook till the chicken is all cooked through. Add your tin of tomatoes, I used almond milk to clear out all the stuck tomatoes in the tin and poured it in as well (so I guess you can say that there is some almond milk in there). Add the bullion cube, bicarbonate and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Add your Spinach. I used frozen and I didn't have loads at home, so I would recommend using a lot more than I did. Then salt and pepper to taste! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BISH BASH BOSH! Not to hard in my eyes, you just need to have all the ingredients at home is all ;-)... SO basically don't do like me!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok so this is one of the best recipes I know! And it is courtesy of my sister-in-law Marie who is one of the best cooks I know! Only makes sense that this recipe ROCKS! Over the weekend I was in England visiting family and made this for one of my meals. My other sister-in-law had a taste and fell in love so I had to share it with her through this blog. I hope that is ok Marie ;-)!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also it means I no longer have to keep my little note you wrote me on my fridge. It is still there, front and center as I use this recipe often! I can not stress enough how yummy it is with anything! I recently made olive and spinach ravioli (gluten-free of course) and this sauce was it's perfect match!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Marie's AMAZING Tomato Sauce (Slightly modified for OMS) </span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Splash of extra virgin olive oil </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 garlic cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 tins of crushed tomatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2 tsp of bullion or one cube (yeast, gluten and sugarfree)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a small pinch of bicarbonate soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a splash of maple syrup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a tiiiiiiny bit of Sambal Oelek </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shredded zucchini/kale/celeri or any other green vegetable you would like</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fresh basil </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Saute the onion garlic and Sambal oelek in the splash of EVOO. Add everything else except the shredded veggies and the basil. Let it cook for as long as possible but preferably 30 min. Then add the vegetables and let bubble for a while longer. At the last second add the basil and further seasoning if needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Serve this with pasta or use as a pizza sauce! If you are not on the OMS diet then serve with some cheese, but if you are look into making almond cheese! I am, I'm just needing to collect some tools for it first :-)! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also I use this structure for any sauce or stew I am making that has tomatoes in it. Like yesterday I made a Saag curry and I thought there was something missing so I added a splash of maple syrup and bicarbonate of soda and BAM! Amazing!</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once again, thank you Marie for this wonderful recipe! </span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So here comes a recipe that has saved me on my journey to figuring all this out. Healthy Brownies. Yes you heard me. HEALTHY! I might go in later and change this recipe further, as I am still figuring out how to best make it. But It is certainly good enough to quench any chocolate craving you might have. The only problem?! you have to limit your intake if you are trying to eat less than 5 g of saturated fat a day. DARN! I figured out that on one batch of these there is a total of 20 g of Saturated fat, so if you divide it into 20 pieces there is 1 g in each piece. Eating one of these now and then to help with that craving is perfect, and it is healthy in many ways.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> You will need a food processor for this one... trust me.. a smoothie maker will not suffice.... not speaking from experience at all... really! Adn since I don't have one, I had to borrow my sister-in-laws (Thank you Linda)! </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You know when you borrow something, something ALWAYS goes wrong?! Well this time was no exception. I was preparing to return it when I realized that a main part was missing. It was gone. Nowhere to be found. spent 2 hours tearing the kitchen apart only to come to the conclusion that it was hopeless. In one of those irrational freakouts I searched online for spare parts and ordered one. Then OF COURSE 5 min later I glance down while packing for our trip to England (yupp this was the night before the flights) and see a white fleck between the couches... and there it was! first thought... those cheeky kids!!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Telling my sister-in-law about the incident was probably the best bit though, she laughed her but off as did I. something that was so frustrating and annoying at the time ended up a moment to laugh about :-)!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ok so the recipe...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Add walnuts and almonds in the food processor to make a fine "flour". Add the cocoa powder, salt and vanilla powder/paste and mix again to incorporate. At this point I used date syrup instead of dates which many raw brownie recipes ask for. Date syrup is perfect to have in your store cupboard as it is 100% boiled and pressed dates. I also used agave syrup because of it's sweetness. Date syrup is great mainly because of it not being so intensely sweet, but with such strong cocoa taste having a little bit of extra sweetness made it perfect in my taste-buds. So I added enough date syrup for it to just come together in the blender, then I used the rest agave syrup. I wish I had a perfect amount for you, but it is completely up to your own taste-buds. Mine require a bit of extra sweetness :-). Then pour into a bowl and add the roughly chopped nuts. I like mine almost whole, but once again this is to what you yourself prefer. Pour into your prepared tins. I used 2 different sizes as I don't have very many tins. But you could also use cupcake molds or one large tray and then cut them into bars. press down firmly, then chill in the fridge for at least an hour. I then sprinkled them with cinnamon. but you could use cocoa or if you aren't on my strict diet you could roll them into balls and then roll them in coconut flakes... yum!</span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some other variations:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- using orange extract as well as the vanilla... yuuuuum!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- or almond extract for that extra almondy taste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- I have also found chocolate essence that I think I am going to try some time as it would reduce the saturated fat content. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Lemon extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Mint extract, or making little mint pieces somehow... (going to figure out how for you and get abck to you)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- in sweden we have something called "arrak" which is basically a punch extract. this could also be useful in some way... hm.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- If you want to make your bars bigger, so that you can eat more of them, you can add things like puffed rice in them. This gives a bit of a different texture as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well the possibilities are endless. If you want to decrease the saturated fat even more you can replace the walnuts with almonds. Walnuts have a little more sat fat that almonds.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Good luck!</span></span><br />
