LS

I have never found a connection to anything I eat but others have thought so. 

I am a diabetic so sugar is avoided anyway.

I have lots of dairy because of osteoporosis so there is no connection there for me.

Sometimes there is no particular reason. Maybe autoimmune.

Until studies are carried out we are just guessing!

Hi, I think Hanny had a point about sugar feeding yeast and although I never suffer yeast infections maybe there is a connection to Ls in a similar way. 

I find I have more energy to cook in the mornings so I batch bake then.

Maybe you could spend a bit of time making meals for the freezer when you are in the mood so that when you are not you have ready healthy meals to grab and eat in a hurry.  I even made a pizza the other day using an omelette for the base instead of bread. Delicious.

I freeze small portions of a tomato sauce I make with onions herbs and tinned tomatoes and thicken it just by simmering and reducing down.  I freeze it in plastic bags inside a round plastic container so that it is a thin flat circle and can be placed on the base covered in low fat cheese and veg and grilled.  Defrosts really quickly. Store several in one container interleved with baking parchment or foil.  I'm so into all this now.  Freezer is so full now.  I will have to halt for a while and use some stuff up.  I am diabetic so all this healthy eating has had a brilliant effect on my blood sugars.  I am hoping to come off my meds when I have lost some more.  Long way to go though.  I have cut it up into 7 portions.  One achieved only 6 more to go. 

Chrisy, you've taken my batch cooking style to the next level! I freeze my homemade pesto in ice cube trays and divide cans of crushed tomatoes in small jars to freeze, but they take a long time to thaw. The stacked disk idea is brilliant!!

Love the omelette instead of pizza base

I'm not a fan of doughy pizza bases - too much starch for me- and i am convinced the carbs go straight to my thighs!

So will give it a go this arvo (Aussie speak for afternoon)

I use this idea for a lot of meals and sometimes make square stacks to reheat in glass ovenware. I got fed up with defrosting in one dish to transfer to the oven dish and sometimes things dripping all over the worksurface. Also it saves space and you don't have all your dishes in the freezer.

How did it go Sue.

Made the omelette with my fresh herbs and topped it with cheese anchovies and semi dried toms, yummie!

That sounds divine.
