Here’s a quick nutritious vegetarian supper which only uses one pan. Always a bonus. Scrambled eggs for protein, amino acids and B vitamins. Spinach for iron and calcium. Vegetarian hot dogs provide another hit of protein. Juicy baby plum tomatoes for their antioxidants. Pumpkin seeds & pine nuts for zinc, manganese and magnesium. Yummy.
Still on a quest to boost depleted immune system and fight infection with diet. A challenge for a vegetarian with ulcerative colitis and breathing allergies.
Tonight was penne pasta in antioxidant tomato & basil sauce. With added quorn for protein. Broccoli for vitamin C, fibre, selenium, plus its anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties (major bonus given current viral infection in lungs). Then onions for vitamins C and B6 , folic acid, plus anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Pan fried the vegetables & quorn in olive oil for vitamins K and E plus omega fats content. Good measure of pine nuts on top for protein and black pepper for a spicy kick.
One week into immune boosting food experiment and its helped with the plethora of strong medication that needs to be taken each day and night. There’s been a few mishaps (for example it appears that mangos and sweetcorn are no friend to ulcerative colitis!) but its worth preservering with for its hopefully long term health benefits. Tonight’s dinner tasted warming and comforting too. Now I’m off for a carb snooze.
