Despite being symptom-free for about six months, the “September POTS/MCAS flare” did not escape me this year. During a flare-up, it’s like I suddenly become allergic to everything, so I’m left with few foods I can actually stomach. This means I make whatever I can throw into an Instant Pot with some broth.

When I think of winter food, I think of stews, soups, meatloaf, and rich casseroles. I definitely don’t think of salad. Salads are for spring and summer, when we can munch on greens like rabbits and sip green smoothies outdoors! Allow me to change your mind. I was inspired by an earlier recipe I did…

Thanksgiving quickly approaches, and some of us are wondering what we will ever do without the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. For many sufferers of autoimmune and chronic diseases, holiday gatherings will never be the same, but that doesn’t have to be a sad thing! For those who…
