Today's recipe was such a delightful meal that I will definitely be cooking again, I might need to shuffle the quantity of ingredients around but aside from that it was a truly enjoyable meal. Very filling and delicious, with a range of flavours that all the family will enjoy. I did have some chickpeas leftover, which I will be using for another recipe soon, so stay tuned for that.
Again, it's quite a rough list of ingredients but many of these foods are added to promote a healthy luteal phase during your cycle. Foods that are high in calcium, magnesium and B vitamins to help reduce mood swings. The salami could always be substituted for beef, turkey or a meat alternative of your choice. I've always loved cooking, but since reading 'In The Flo' I have found myself really looking forward to mealtimes, especially at the weekends where I can plan all of my meals and spend enough time preparing them. It has been a lot of fun creating a range of dishes based on specific ingredients and I also like that it isn't restrictive and you can make even a few simple changes to start syncing with your cycle.
*remember to prepare all of your ingredients before hand*
