recipe – Eating Vegan with Crohn's Disease

Blended breakfast

I’ve had some creeping Crohn’s symptoms so trying to stave them off with blended foods. The aim is gut rest and nutrition for healing. Blended breakfast: Blend until smooth. Basically it’s a hearty oatmeal breakfast with no chewing or gut effort. Also super yummy! This is based on an almond date lhassi I had inContinue reading “Blended breakfast”

No Knead Bread

If you buy “nice” flour, like organic, whole wheat, cooperative union worker owned, it’s like $7-10 for a bag of flour, with which you can make something like 8 loaves of bread. This bread takes VERY LITTLE EFFORT, you just have to remember to start a new batch the day before you run out ofContinue reading “No Knead Bread”

Sunshine face punch drink

In a blender, Blend that shit up for like a minute. Then add, It’s probably really good served on ice but I never have ice. This is a great winter beverage because it’s grapefruit season and also it tastes like the sun, and I haven’t seen then sun in 84 years.

Breakfast Berry Crisp

This isn’t really a crisp but with about 7 minutes you can trick yourself into thinking you’re eating one. Microwave 1-2 cups of assorted frozen berries for 2 minutes. Boil 1 cup water with a dash of salt. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats and cook to the consistency you like, about 4-5 mins. Combine theContinue reading “Breakfast Berry Crisp”

Vegan Gumbo

I had the worst day in a long time this Sunday. Part of why it was so bad was because I tried to order vegan gumbo, but the restaurant ghosted me. I was deeply unsatisfied until I made vegan gumbo the next day. Olive oil (coat the bottom of the pan, this is an oilContinue reading “Vegan Gumbo”

Groundnut Stew and Fufu

A classic West African dish, this recipe is made with mostly premade ingredients for a super quick and satisfying meal. I omitted oil for this (coz Crohn’s) but for a more authentic feel and flavor, you’re really gonna wanna put some palm oil in it. Groundnut (peanut) stew: 2 c tomato sauce (store bought pastaContinue reading “Groundnut Stew and Fufu”
