<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Elderberry is a great supplement for cold and flu season...and sure couldn't hurt anything right now! It is easy and cheaper to make my own. There are recipes that get the juice to more of a syrup, but this is my favorite, go-to recipe (a combination of a couple of different recipes that my lovely aunt first concocted). </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a pot combine:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/3 cups dried elderberries (I buy them on Amazon)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7 cups water<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 T whole cloves (I put them in a tea ball and drop it in)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2-3 cinnamon sticks</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Optional - 12 oz fresh blackberries (I don’t always add
these…just if there is a good sale)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add up to 2 cups
agave or honey (I use agave because I’m allergic to honey) to remaining
liquid and stir well. I usually just squeeze and stir until it feels about right. So sometimes it is sweeter than other times, depending on my mood!</span></div>

For me and my family, anything that might boost our immune system or give it a fighting chance, seems like a good thing to do - but use your own wisdom to decide what is right for you and your family. Cheers to 2020 turning a corner to a healthier year!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
My cousin found a recipe for <a href="https://www.itsallaboutaip.com/lemon-blueberry-muffins-aip-paleo/">AIP/Paleo Lemon Blueberry Muffins</a>.<br />
I have reintroduced a few foods so was able to modify these a bit to suit what I'm eating these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my modified version ...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
zest and juice (about 1/4 cup juice) of 1 lemon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon vanilla extract ... I use my <a href="https://passthebeansplease.blogspot.com/2010/07/homeade-vanilla-extract.html">homemade stuff</a><br />
2/3 cup coconut flower</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 cup arrowroot flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon baking soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a pinch or two of salt<br />
1 cup fresh blueberries (I have also used frozen)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Line muffin tins with preferred liner.<br />
<br />
Combine wet ingredients using a whisk. Reserving blueberries til the end, combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add dry ingredients a little at a time to the wet ingredients, whisk each time until the batter is no longer lumpy.<br />
<br />
Gently fold in the blueberries.<br />
<br />
Spoon batter equally into 12 muffin cups.<br />
<br />
Bake 20 minutes, rotate, bake another 10 minutes or until a toothpick come out clean.<br />
<br />
PS. I sprinkled some cacao nibs on top of a few of these to see if they would be a yummy addition. I didn't love them. BUT ... next time I am going to stir the cacao nibs through a few of them and see if it's better that way ...<br />

The cold season has hit and after too many days of coughing and sneezing and stuffy heads, we started fighting back with this. It feels healthy alllll the way down to your toes!<br />
<br />
Cut top of one head of garlic and rub in some olive oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 400 degrees or until garlic is soft. Let cool and then pop all of the garlic cloves out of their skins.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, slice one to two onions and grate 1/4 to 1/2 cup of fresh ginger (I found that if you slice it you end up with woody strings in your soup). Peel 26 cloves of raw garlic (or use the prechopped stuff...I did this because the cold was kicking my butt and I didn't have enough energy to peel that much garlic!). <br />
<br />
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add onion, ginger, and 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Cook until onions are translucent (about six minutes). Add roasted and raw garlic and cook another three minutes. <br />
<br />
Add 3 1/2 cups veggie or chicken broth, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Puree soup in a blender or with a stick blender until smooth. Add 1/2 cup coconut milk (I only had coconut water one time I made this and it turned out fine). You can either squeeze a slice of lemon into each serving or squeeze one whole lemon into the entire batch. I forgot lemons at the store, but I have a bunch of limes, so I'm going to try two or three limes instead of a lemon and see how it goes.<br />
<br />
The soup is pretty strong. My husband enjoys it that way, but me and the kids, not so much. I do about a half a mug of soup and then fill the rest of the mug with more chicken broth. It's still intense but tasty and helped us feel better!<br />
<br />
Serve hot. You can store the soup for a day or two in the fridge.<br />

I've been making freezer crock pot meals for a while now. A lifesaver on those days when I'm working and won't be home till dinner time, but a sporting event, band concert, school function, etc mean dinner needs to be RIGHT when I get home from work (either that or I end up cranky and hungry trying to manage cranky, hungry, tired babies! Not fun!!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I thought, wouldn't it be fun to do this WITH other people? I love my house full of boys, but some times I just need some girl time. Thus, my freezer meal party prep days started. About once a month, a group of ladies (who ever happens to be interested and free that day) bring ingredients and we chat and prep meals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's GREAT! </div>

We make 5 or 6 recipes each time and since there are a wide variety of family sizes represented at the parties, I usually try to make sure that each meal will feed one entire large family. Those that have smaller families either cook the entire meal and then refreeze portions for later use or separate the meal into multiple bags when they get home. For the the larger families, I think it averages out to be around $10-12 per meal and less per meal for the families that can get two or three meals out of each recipe. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Note for the crock pot meals: I recently saw an article that stated that the FDA recommends not cooking meat from frozen in your crock pot - not because the meat doesn't get thoroughly cooked, but because it stays at what they consider an unsafe temperature for too long. I'm a thaw meat on the counter, dump frozen meat in my crock pot and go girl...use your own judgement and do what you're comfortable with. The crock pot meals can all be pulled out of the freezer the night before and thawed in the fridge for easy dump and go the next morning. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My husband wanted to have a Good Friday bunch after church. He wanted bacon, eggs and french toast. Often, when we have something like that, I'd just eat what I can and not worry about the rest but this time I decided I wanted to try and make some french toast that I can eat. It was a nice surprise! I want to play around a bit and see if I can get the egg mixture to stick to the sweet potato a bit better but for now, this was good.<br />
<br />
If you are eating AIP, you need to know that this isn't compliant as it has eggs and almond milk. But once you successfully re-introduce those things, this is something you can try! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All I did was slice the sweet potato and toast it in the toaster. I found that the thinner slice was better than the thicker slice. I toasted it two or three times ... til it was browned. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I made the 'batter" just like normal french toast. I used an egg, some almond milk, <a href="http://passthebeansplease.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/homeade-vanilla-extract.html">homemade vanilla extract</a>, and a bit of cinnamon. Dip the toasted sweet potato slices into the batter and then cook in an already heated fry pan.<br />
<br />
I topped the toast with a bit of pure maple syrup and fresh raspberries.<br />
<br />
And we had scrambled eggs (I just do eggs with nothing added) and some AIP compliant bacon.<br />
<br />
A delicious Good Friday brunch! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some pork mince to use up and I wanted something simple and tasty to do with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this <a href="https://www.savorylotus.com/homemade-maple-apple-breakfast-sausage/">Homemade Maple Apple Breakfast Sausage</a> recipe </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over on <a href="https://www.savorylotus.com/">Savory Lotus</a> that sounded good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as possible, I try to use my Thermomix and so I decided to do the beginning steps in that ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I didn't bother peeling the apple, I used more onion, more herbs and I used smoked garlic ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo IMG_7665_zpswv0qfpzt.jpg" border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g141/bonnieg73/Beans%20Blog%202018/IMG_7665_zpswv0qfpzt.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Here's my list of ingredients:</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
500g pork mince</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 small red onion<br />
2 cloves smoked garlic (or regular would be fine too)<br />
1 apple, cored and quartered</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a handful of fresh herbs (I used parsley, oregano, chives, thyme)<br />
2 tablespoons real maple syrup<br />
2 tsp sea salt<br />
2 tsp ground sage<br />
(oil for cooking but I did ours on the BBQ so didn't need any oil) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_7668_zpszi4r5bom.jpg" border="0" src="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g141/bonnieg73/Beans%20Blog%202018/IMG_7668_zpszi4r5bom.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's how I did it (in the Thermomix):</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Put the onion, and garlic in the Thermomix.<br />
Chop on speed 5 for 5-7 seconds. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Scrape ingredients to bottom of bowl.<br />
Add apple.<br />
Chop on speed 5 for 3-5 seconds.<br />
Add 5-10g of olive oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sautee on Varoma temperature, 5 minutes, speed .<br />
<br />
Let this mixture cool for a few minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In a bowl, add pork, maple syrup, herbs and ground sage. Mix well. Once the Thermomix mixture has cooled to the touch, add to the pork and mix well.<br />
<br />
Shape into patties of your desired size.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If cooking on BBQ ... heat it up (we have a gas BBQ and I make sure it is up to at least 200 Celsius). Once it's heated, put the patties on the hot BBQ and shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Rotate patties (don't flip them yet, just rotate them so that the like 90 degrees) shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Now flip the patties. Shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Rotate patties again. Shut the lids. Set timer for 3 minutes. The patties should now be ready. Just cut one in half and make sure it's cooked through. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I served with:<br />
fresh spinach</div>
<div>
chopped avocado<br />

This is such a quick, easy and yummy dinner. And perfectly compliant if you are doing AIP.<br />
<br />
I fill a bowl with chopped iceberg lettuce, chopped cucumber, and chopped avocado.<br />
I sprinkle that with garlic powder. (You could dress it if you want to.)<br />
<br />
Once that is ready, I cook up the prawns.<br />
<br />
My fish shop has these amazing prawns that are already peeled and have garlic and parsley added.<br />
I use those but you can use anything you like.<br />
<br />
So, I cook up the prawns and then pop them on the top of the salad.<br />
<br />
Done.<br />

<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I recently had a DELICIOUS juice at a local organic cafe. <br />Even though I LOVED the juice, and have wanted to have another one, I haven't gone back.</center>
<center>
Why not? Because I didn't want to pay another $10 for a juice!</center>
<center>
Especially when I have a juicer at home! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
So ... the other day I found a beautiful fresh pineapple and decided this morning </center>
<center>
that I would have a go at making a juice that was at least similar! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
It was EVEN MORE DELICIOUS that the one I had bought! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
And it was so easy to make. </center>
<center>
If you have a juicer, give it a go! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I don't really have measurements. </center>
<center>
But here's what I did, in the best way I can explain it.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I used two apples. I think they were pink ladies.</center>
<center>
I used three huge handfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves. </center>
<center>
I grabbed a big handful of mint out of our garden</center>
<center>
and I cut up that pineapple and used part of that as well. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I'd say I used equal parts pineapple and apple ... but maybe a bit more pineapple if anything.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I put it all through the juicer and that's it! </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
A little trick I learned when I did a stint helping out in a cafe ... </center>
<center>
put the leafy things between more bulky items (like the apples and pineapple). </center>
<center>
It seems to help them as they go through the juicing process. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
** </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
What's your favourite things to run through the juicer?</center>

<br />
I originally posted <a href="http://bonnie-simple-beauty.blogspot.com.au/2018/03/my-hs-story.html">this</a> over on my personal blog <a href="http://bonnie-simple-beauty.blogspot.com.au/">Simple Beauty</a><br />
back at the beginning of the month. I thought I'd share it here as well since I<br />
am going to start sharing AIP recipes and everyone might not know<br />
what that is or why anyone would eat that way. Here's the<br />
reason why I do ...<br />
<br />
**<br />
<br />
I've been wanting to write this post for the better part of a year but haven't found the courage.<br />
<br />
You know that quote that says :<br />
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.<br />
Be Kind. Always."<br />
<br />
That quote has resonated with me since the first time I heard it ...<br />
because I believe it to be completely true.<br />
<br />
Everyone has a battle. (and so many of them secret.)<br />
<br />
I'm about to share mine with you.<br />
<br />
Let me give you a short introduction to the video below,<br />
an introduction in how it pertains to me.<br />
<br />
I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. (HS)<br />
<br />
I didn't know it was called that until a few years ago ...<br />
I always just called it "my bumps" ... and only to my husband<br />
because he was the only other person who knew the<br />
extent of it (again, until a few years ago). He was ... and is still ... the only<br />
other person apart from doctors who have ever seen it in it's entirety.<br />
<br />
Unlike Jackson, who shares so bravely in the Ted Talk below,<br />
my HS has always been able to be covered up by my clothes.<br />
<br />
I remember getting my first 'bump" when I was about thirteen.<br />
They haven't stopped since. I will be forty-five this year.<br />
<br />
"Bumps" isn't the best word to describe what
<br />
this disease does to your body, but I like it better than boils.<br />
However, boils are what they are.<br />
<br />
Jackson gives a good description in the video.<br />
<br />
Watch the video and then ...<br />
if you're still with me ...<br />
I'll share a bit about
the last year ... and the journey I have been on.<br />
The journey to healing from HS.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
My story is different to Jacksons.<br />
I was a healthy kid. A healthy teen. I'm a healthy adult.<br />
<br />
<br />
BUT ...<br />
when I was thirteen, I started getting "bumps" in my groin.<br />
They were painful and embarrassing and I didn't tell ANYONE!<br />
This was before the internet so I didn't have google to help me out with answers.<br />
<br />
As the years progressed, so did the "bumps", they moved into my armpits<br />
and other places where there is skin to skin contact. There didn't<br />
seem to be any discernible pattern. They just came and went.<br />
Sometimes I'd have one. Sometimes I'd have many.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when you have more than one, they tunnel together under<br />
your skin ... this is stage three and I have only ever had that happen once or twice.<br />
I think I have mostly lived with the disease in stages one and two.<br />
<br />
They varied in size.<br />
Jackson talks in the video about<br />
getting ones that are baseball sized.<br />
I can imagine, but have not experienced,
<br />
the pain he has suffered with ones that size,<br />
mine have only ever progressed to the size of a golf ball<br />
but I've literally passed out from the pain of having someone<br />
or something bump into (or from sitting on) one of those!<br />
<br />
They don't heal with any sort of regularity.<br />
Some stay for a long time - months.
<br />
Some for a short time - weeks.<br />
Some just disappear. <br />
Some burst.<br />
<br />
All of them have left scars that do not heal.<br />
<br />
I never went to the doctor specifically for my HS.<br />
I had an emergency room "trauma" as a three year old that left me<br />
quite frightened of doctors and hospitals for many many years.<br />
But if I had to go to the doctor for something else, they<br />
would usually catch sight of a scar or a boil and I'd<br />
ask them if they knew what it was.<br />
<br />
I was relieved when I asked and was told that it<br />
was NOT some sort of STD which had always been my fear!<br />
I figured I had caught something from a toilet seat!!<br />
<br />
I was told all sorts of incorrect things.<br />
One doctor said it was acne and it would clear up when my zits went away.<br />
It didn't. The most common mis-diagnosis was swollen lymph nodes<br />
and/or ingrown hairs. They told me I could have them surgically<br />
removed if they bothered me too much.<br />
With my love of all things medical I always said "no thanks!"<br />
<br />
I learned how to care for the boils myself.<br />
Hot compresses, epsom salt baths, bandages,<br />
various ointments, these were my best friends.<br />
<br />
I learned how to care for open wounds too<br />
because when something the size of a golf ball bursts,<br />
it creates a similar size hole in your skin.<br />
<br />
I was always on the lookout to see<br />
if I could see evidence of it on anyone else!<br />
I never did.<br />
<br />
I always kept my ears open to see<br />
if anyone ever talked about similar symptoms.<br />
They never did.<br />
<br />
Years and years and years (like 25 years!)<br />
went by and then one night, I was up late by myself.<br />
There wasn't much on TV and I was half watching a show<br />
called "World's Most Embarrassing Bodies" and I saw it!! I knew that the<br />
person they were showing had what I had! I grabbed a pen and wrote<br />
down Hidradenitis Suppurativa. And then, I started googling!<br />
What I discovered what that there was no cure.<br />
<br />
I stopped googling.<br />
<br />
I had managed all of these years.<br />
<br />
I'd be fine.<br />
<br />
A couple of years later, just after I turned 40,<br />
I went to have a routine check up with a new doctor.<br />
She was the first doctor to ever say to me<br />
"I think you have Hidradenitis Suppurativa."<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe it!<br />
<br />
After all these years, finally, I had a proper diagnosis.<br />
She recommended that I see a specialist.<br />
I think it was a dermatology specialist and so I went on the waiting list.<br />
It took two years to get that appointment!<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I decided to start researching for myself.<br />
I knew there was no cure, but I wondered if there was anything 'radical'<br />
out there ... anything that I would feel comfortable trying.<br />
<br />
I don't remember the time line or all the details<br />
and they would be boring anyway but<br />
I discovered that HS was an<br />
autoimmune disease.<br />
<br />
(although there is still some debate about that ... some refer to it as an autoinflammatory disease)<br />
<br />
In any case, some people had found remission from HS<br />
by following the <a href="https://www.thepaleomom.com/start-here/the-autoimmune-protocol/">Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)</a>.<br />
I wanted to be one of them!!<br />
<br />
Mid April 2017, I stopped eating all grains (including corn), seeds,<br />
spices that come from seeds, nuts, gluten, sugar, soy, dairy,<br />
and nightshade vegetables. (nightshades are tomatoes,<br />
peppers, potatoes, goji berries, eggplants)<br />
<br />
I eat meat, fish, vegetables (apart from nightshades), & fruit.<br />
I eat as much nutrient dense and gut healing food as I possibly can!<br />
<br />
But AIP isn't just about food.<br />
<br />
I started to pay attention to how much sleep I was getting.<br />
I aim for eight hours a night. I don't always get it but I<br />
find that I get much closer if I'm aiming for it.<br />
<br />
I pay attention to my stress levels.<br />
I intentionally do things to lower them before they get high.<br />
I started walking on the beach as many mornings<br />
as I can. I don't make it every morning but<br />
the
few mornings a week that I get my toes in the sand,<br />
my face in the sun, my ears filling with the sound of the sea,<br />
my eyes filling with the beauty of the sky do me<br />
so much good.<br />
<br />
It relaxes me even to write about it!<br />
<br />
I make sure I exercise.<br />
I walk. I do pilates.<br />
I swim a couple times a week.<br />
<br />
And do you know what happened?<br />
<br />
Nothing for the first few months.<br />
<br />
But I joined some AIP and HS support groups on facebook.<br />
I asked questions. I listened. I tweaked what I was doing.<br />
<br />
And after about three or four months, I started to see changes.<br />
<br />
Small changes but oh my goodness ... changes!!<br />
<br />
My "bumps" started to react differently.<br />
<br />
They didn't get as big.<br />
<br />
They didn't stick around as long.
<br />
<br />
And as the months continue on, I continue to see more changes.<br />
<br />
Eventually the "bumps" stopped bursting!<br />
They all just started to disappear on their own.<br />
<br />
And then, this month,<br />
I realised that I haven't had a new one!<br />
This is incredible!<br />
It's beyond what I ever thought possible.<br />
<br />
I have started to add foods back in and see how my body reacts.<br />
This is probably the trickiest part of the whole thing.<br />
But ... I'm encouraged!<br />
<br />
I'm encouraged that this disease can be managed.<br />
People ask me if it's hard to have such a restricted diet.<br />
<br />
My answer:<br />
<br />
Sure, it can be a little bit difficult sometimes.<br />
Difficult to not eat my favourite foods.<br />
Or to feel like "that person"<br />
with all the weird dietary restrictions.<br />
<br />
But not as difficult as living with boils the size of golf balls<br />
or open wounds that take months to close.<br />
Not as difficult as being in chronic pain for more than<br />
thirty years and a diagnosis of "no cure".<br />
<br />
Not as difficult as not having an end in sight.
<br />
<br />
And all because of a choice.<br />
A choice that is all mine.
<br />
<br />
And making that choice each time I decide if I will or won't eat something<br />
<br />
<br />
... that is easy.<br />
<br />
<br />
