Excited to be able to harvest my first crop of fen

Excited to be able to harvest my first crop of fennel soon! Not sure how they withstood the late frosts this Spring, or the freezing gales that blew through in May - my courgettes and green beans gave up the struggle entirely, but these delicate fronds are clearly made of sterner stuff! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Fennel is rich in health-protective nutrients, antioxidants and polyphenols that are antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. B vitamins, manganese, calcium, iron, potassium for blood pressure regulation and vitamin C.
-
Of course the seeds from the fennel plant are known for their digestive support, made into a tea they can reduce bloating and gas.
-
I can’t wait to eat some of these bulbs - either braised - or finely sliced to add crunch to salads. But I’ll keep one plant through the season and allow it to flower, to get seeds in the autumn 🤗

Pleased to announce my watercolour landscapes will

Pleased to announce my watercolour landscapes will be exhibited alongside these 8 other artists at the Harbour House Gallery, in Kingsbridge, South Hams - Devon, from June 29th - July 11th.
-
I normally keep my ‘art business’ @e.king.art separate from my ‘nutrition business’, but in case anyone was interested, and might be planning to visit the area - maybe this will entice you!
-
There will be ceramics and sculpture, prints and paintings to view, and the cafe upstairs with its garden are worth a visit anyway!

🦴Fact: I love bone broths - but I’m less inclined to make them in summer.
🦴Fact: the gut health benefits of bone broths are indisputable.
🦴So this is an excellent, super convenient back up product to keep in your store cupboard.
-
I love that it’s organic ✅ I love that it’s gluten free ✅ I love that it’s grass-fed ✅ I love that it’s dairy, soya and grain free ✅✅✅ just high in nourishing amino acids and soothing collagen that will feed the epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract keeping it healthy.
-
One such amino acid- Glutamine - can protect the gut lining from becoming over permeable. We need the gut lining to be permeable enough to absorb our dietary nutrients, but not so overly permeable - or inflamed - that it can allow undigested food particles through, which present as antigens to the immune system, creating a foundation for allergies, food intolerances and autoimmunity.
-
You can add a teaspoon of this bone broth powder to so many dishes. Glycine is another amino acid which encourages the production of stomach acid, which we need to properly break down foods for good digestion. It also forms a key part of Bile acid which we make to help digest fats. The amino acids Proline and Lysine are the very building blocks of the tissue that lines the gut.
-
If you manage to make bone broths all year round 🙌 well done 👏 - but this will be a store cupboard essential for me from now on!
-
Gut health - the foundation of good health.

Yeeaay it’s the weekend! That means a cup of tea

Yeeaay it’s the weekend! That means a cup of tea in bed with the chance to read - I’ve just finished ‘Memory Stones’ by Caroline Brothers - absolutely beeeauutiful. Now I’ve gone back to an old classic: ‘As I walked out one midsummer morning’ by Laurie Lee.
-
Set in 1934, a young man leaves home - walking - from rural Cotswolds to London, detouring via the south coast, busking to earn a crust. He gets by in London labouring on a building site before deciding to tramp around Spain -
-
The middle aged Laurie Lee remembers the fresh, naive experiences of his adventure but recounts them with a poetic language that only comes with age. -
-
The breakfast pancakes? I was going to mention the plethora of nutrients in the milled seeds, the use of a mashed banana instead of flour, the polyphenols in the cinnamon, and the blood sugar balance of the eggs, but I got distracted - sorry - c’mon, it’s the weekend!
🤗😂😝😎😋😜😊
Enjoy yours - relax - have fun.

Did you know oatbran was the first registered chol

Did you know oatbran was the first registered cholesterol lowering food? It’s the beta glucans, the complex glucose polymers that once cooked, give oats that viscosity, the sliminess if you will, making them able to buffer and resist digestion. This makes them a slow release of energy, low glycemic and therefore a great way to start the day with balanced blood sugar.
-
Ok - well spotted- I HAVE drizzled over gorgeous maple syrup - but look at all the pecan nuts! They’re providing protein and healthy fats which ALSO buffer digestion, so lowering glycemic value AND adding satiating nutrients.
-
Context. We rarely eat foods in isolation, it’s what we pair together that counts.

It’s Sunday afternoon, that means R & R time for me, a time to indulge my tastebuds with GF blueberry scones perhaps, relaxing with family and friends.
-
Or - if no-one else is around - a chance to put my feet up and make a start on that new book. (Just finished ‘Hamnet’ - excellent, now starting ‘the Memory Stones’ - loving it so far . . . 📖 📚😊📖📚
-
But today - I’m going to tune in to the Italian Open Final between Nadal and Djokovic in Rome. One of my favourite tournaments in one of my favourite countries!
-
‘Me time’ isn’t guilt-worthy indulgence’ it’s just giving to ourselves what we as mothers give out to others all the time! How will you be spending your Sunday afternoon?
