Hi there and thank you for stopping by.
I’m Sheila and many years ago, I, like many other people was told I had a food intolerance and that was why I wasn’t full of energy and didn’t feel right. I had taken various medications to mask the symptoms but never understood what was really wrong or how to fix the actually problem. I started an interesting journey eating wheat free food, I saw a nutritionist who showed me a lot of highly processed foods or what I call sometimes foods, it’s great that there are sometimes foods out there but they are definitely not something I want to eat every day. I also tried some of the gluten free products out there, without feeling any better and sometimes feeling worse. For me this wasn’t good enough, I did a lot of reading, looked a little further into things and started listening to my body, specifically how I felt when I ate things. When I listening to my body I quickly realised that I felt awesome when I ate what is often termed ‘real foods’. This is when what felt like part two of my journey began, the journey to a healthy wheat free diet that works for me.
I am not a chef, a dietitian or nutritionist but I enjoy cooking, eating and life in general and I would like to share my recipes with you, some of these are my take on old favourite, some of my favourites, are inspired by others, or are just thrown together with food that I love or what is in my vegetable patch.
I mention my vegetable patch as it has had a big influence on my cooking, it’s fun to grow your own, for sustainable reasons, to save money and for the pleasure of eating something you have grown. You don’t need acres to have a vegetable patch just a few pots or a strip of land. My first attempt included a few herbs, next I added two big black buckets with some lettuce, capsicum and carrots, from there I set aside a small garden. If you decide to grow your own start small and plant what you enjoy eating. If you need a good reason think of how much a packet of seeds costs, a few dollars or you can collect them from what you have bought to eat, and then think how much a punnet of tomatoes costs you at the shops or local markets, you may as well give it a go.
One thing you won’t find on my food blog is seafood as I can’t eat it, please classify this as you may eat my quota.
