Started this new antiacid, anti-inflammatory diet last week. It was time I started a new hobby, as I canβt do my embroidery anymore at least I can cook. It is also good for Bea and her post shingles chronic fatigue. And it keeps me active, shopping for strange, unknown health foods π and moving around the kitchen!
So last week I made buckwheat pancakes, lovely stuff, no gluten in buckwheat and you use almond milk so no lactose either as Bea is intolerant to gluten and I am to lactose!
Then I made some low-fat sweetcorn fritters, a nice fennel and apple cold soup.
Today I made this pie: Pizza with potatoes and Rosemary
60gr of no gluten porridge oats
60gr of quinoa flakes
30gr of chopped almonds
2 tbsps of chia seed
A pinch of sea salt
125ml of boiling water
Mix it all
Add 1/2 a grated courgette
1tsp of olive oil
Mix and form into a ball and flatten it in a well oiled pie dish
Preheat oven on 250C.
Now for the garnish you use what you want.
I had already cooked new potatoes in the fridge so I sliced them and cover the bottom.
I chopped 2 onions and some mushrooms to cover them, then sprinkled rosemary, salt I donβt like pepper π and a little olive oil.
Put in the oven for 20mn.
I found the base a little undercooked but enjoyed it, I have a lousy oven. Anyway I will warm it up again for tea that should do it.
The problem with good food is you cook for a couple of days, you turn around and half the pie had gone already!
So from meditation π§ββοΈ to flowers π· and now recipes!

Hi Iβm new! But I love your sense of humour! I wish you better health and happiness now that summer is coming soon! Plus I love food and have loads of cookery books ! Plus chucking in brandy or wine into the mix!
It looks lovely, I love mushrooms. I enjoy cooking too and am always using books and looking online to make new healthy dinners. My husband is a bit of a fuss pot but my kids like pretty much anything so they try out my new recipes. None of us have allergies which helps.
I still like the odd unhealthy take away though, can't beat a good fish and chips every now and then!
All sounds fab but that pie looks amazing, I so love mushrooms. Making me very hungry but unfortunately bedtime so canβt partake in a bite to eat. Cooking such a wonderful hobby - enjoy π
Thank you Happylondon for sharing that recipe. It sounds yummy! Do keep sharing. Hope your new way of eating means happy and healthy days ahead. Best wishes from Oz.
Your pizza sounds very tasty. Although I can do needlework, I find cooking too difficult to enjoy. The arthritis in my hands and wrists means I canβt open bottles, jars or packets, nor can I lift heavyish pans and dishes. At the moment my cooking is limited to chilli cooked in the slow cooker!
I made your Pizza pie yesterday and loved it. I didn't have a couple of the ingredients so substituted. However, both my husband and I really enjoyed it.
I replaced the almonds with Pecans and used Semolina instead of Quinoa. We ate the left overs on a sandwich the next day and we enjoyed it yet again. Great recipe. Best wishes from Oz.
