I was put on a heavy dose of steroids and anti-histamines following my anaphylactic episodes. They made me ragging hungry at every moment of the day, my head felt like it was 500 times larger than it was and I couldn’t bear to do any sort of physical activity.

I'm ready!

Yesterday; for the first time in a very long while, I looked at myself in the mirror with negative eyes. The negative self talk began and within moments, I had dug myself into a deep self deprecating hole.

I know that I am not the only one that experiences these, even for a fleeting moment.

Looking at the situation lovingly, my body has been through a lot these last couple of weeks and it is unfair for me to place judgement on it. Instead, I need to honor myself, eat well and start moving again. Plain and simple.

In the past, when my negative self talk was at an all-time high and I didn’t feel good about my body, my food choices or my state of mind, I would cleanse as a way to go inward and heal myself.

It’s time for this girl to cleanse.

Adding a delicious cream sauce to vegetables makes life better. Especially when you’re getting back to including more vegetables in your daily eating routine.

My brain plays tricks on me when I begin a cleanse. I instantly feel like I’m missing out on things (even though I know I am not) and drizzling cream sauce on veggies is just one way to combat it.

Layer on the sauce.

(Psst… it doesn’t taste like cauliflower)

Broth/stock - Vegetable broth is best here, but homemade chicken broth in this recipe is really good as well!
