Honey-Turmeric and Ginger Tea #digestiveissues #womenwithinflammation #abuseinjuries #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

I made this in the instant pot. I'm sure you can make it on the stove. This tea helps my digestive issues or gut health as a lot of us are knowing of it now.

I used to put ginger and turmeric in my smoothie which made it bitter. I needed these two in the morning or I would cramp in my stomach bad which because of the gut issue happening would then immediately lend to my head injuries with pain, discomfort, and confusion, as well as to the pain in the rest of my body from injuries from abuse as well.

I got the recipe from a book I borrowed from the library by Coco Marante on instant pot cooking.

Homemade Rosemary Bread #brainsupport #spices #lorijeanfinnila

Rosemary has such a positive effect to my brain. I feel more clarity as if I'm getting more oxygen when I eat it. I happily went to the library yesterday and picked up two books on cooking with spices and their history. I was intrigued, and had been, by my Portuguese ancestors part in this.

I saw a recipe for rosemary bread in one of the books and thought to make some. I couldn't use that recipe because I didn't have anymore bread flour that I was hoping to use up but I happily found this one. I swapped out honey for the sugar. I'll be eating soft eggs on toast and a pasta sauce with an organic rosemary turkey patty sandwich, that my son got me the patties, tonight. I also thought to make one large loaf. I think it's better suited for sandwiches.

The taste is here. I will leave the potatoes larger next time and use fresh celery instead of blanched and frozen.

Healthy Morning Breakfast! #healthnutnutrition #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen

 I'm grateful to have information from @healthnutnutrition for this healthy breakfast.

My eggs didn't come out as good as they usually do following her method. I used a nonstick coated pan this time and they came out soft boiled. Stick with stainless. I love the chia jam and the kiwi with breakfast. I made some flatbread for sandwiches later. I felt really healthy after breakfast.

Cajun Instant Pot Chicken and Rice #spicy #healthyfood #lorijeanfinnilainthekitchen #healing

It's hard to believe a woman with inflammation thrives on spicy food - I do though! I'm taken by the smells and aroma and feel taken away to an exotic place. It brings me fun and pleasure. And funny because it doesn't appear to hurt me. The chicken I had been eating was doing most of that. I finally dug into my piggy bank, son helps, and got rid of cheese (too much salt - mostly, found a new brand Organic Valley Cheddar, yeeks) and bought organic chicken. Won't be doing white meat much but I will savor this and got five servings and three of a side dish of rice extra to that. Was so yummy!
