Mum & I are going on a diverticulitis-friendly detox & healthy eating plan when she comes back from hols.
Almost no cooking to start with (even I don't count wholemeal toast, porridge, eggs etc as cooking!), but settling down into proper home-made healthy meals after 3-5 days.

Diverticulitis is a medical condition Mum was diagnosed with years back, so it's not a faddy diet. It's just that more and more information is now available about how to prevent flare-ups. And she's had two quite bad ones this year where she could barely move for pain. It can be aggravated by stress and present like depression/ anxiety. The diet addresses this and is also one used for patients with liver damage. Win win win.

So short term I will be eating solo from the cupboard, but by the end of the month I should be back to posting more in this thread.

Tonight I had a Look What We Found Chicken Balti, which I had with brown rice. So yeah, not cooking, but it was healthy.

Oh and hello Ashlee.
