This is the first time I have ever blogged and am not sure how much time i will have to do this but I hope to keep a food diary as well as just a basic diary of my life. I was diagnosed with cancer (angiosarcoma primary breast) in July 09. I am following the Budwig diet which I will go more into later. I want to share with people my love for food and my new exploration of cooking within a sort of guideline.
I am a horrible writer and speller so don't bother pointing this out. I know it.
The food rules are....
no meat
no fish
no sugar
no processed food
no fats other than flaxseed oil, pumpkin seed oil, coconut oil (I do use quality olive oil and sesame oil now and again)
a bit of dairy is ok
everything is organic as possible
everything whole /raw as possible
That's a lot of rules but they are rules for me personally as I may not follow the Budwig diet as closely as others do but it's my own interpretation of it and what I think is best for ME and only me.
Any foodie comments much appreciate and any recipe ideas for me would be fantastic.

Why I am doing this blog
I was diagnosed with angiosarcoma primary in the breast in July of 2009. Probably the worst day of my life so far. A double mastectomy later I am feeling so healthy and strong. I have said no to radiation and chemo and am healing my cancer with nutrition and lifestyle changes. Detoxing is big right now in my life as my cancer is very much environmental toxins related. My amazing husband has built an infrared sauna behind our house and I am following the Budwig Protocol which has detoxed my body of all bad fats. It's amazing and if you are fighting cancer you need to check it out here. http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig_protocol.html. My recipes might not be 100% Budwig compliant but it's up to you if you are a Budwig follower to make your own choices about what you want to eat. Don't tell me if I am not compliant. I know.
I am an American living in England for the last 7 years and I have to say that the health care i have received here has been really outstanding. I can't understand what Americans are so scared of to nationalise their healthcare. If I lived in America when I was diagnosed I might not of had insurance as I was self employed running a very small sewing businesses. What would I of done then? Plus I am offered breast reconstruction and fake boobs to put in my bra as well if I feel the need. If I did have minimal insurance I would not of been offered these things.
Anyway I have decided to do this website to share healthy good food with people and mostly to keep track of my recipes as it makes me write things down and I can now reference back to them which is very useful! I always forget how I make things. I tend not to make the same thing twice and that goes as well with my other passion which is sewing. I screen-print beautiful images with non-toxic ink onto reclaimed leather and make wallets, change purses, coasters and other bits and pieces. Check out my shop here.
