What I eat in a day in winter - low histamine recipes

I've always loved what I eat in a day videos and blog posts, so this is my winter low histamine recipes version! Maybe I'm just nosey(!), but I like getting some 'real' life meals from other people beyond just the more styled recipes. So what I eat in a day videos are my guilty pleasure cosied up on the couch with a cup of peppermint tea.

These meals are really typical of what I eat. As you will see I definitely go for warming meals in the colder weather, as I know most people do. Plus comfort food is my thing. I love pasta, rice, potatoes and all things carby. Personally I find my energy to be better and my tummy happier when I have them in my diet. I know others find the opposite, but we are all different aren't we.

Hope you enjoy a behind the scenes of my low histamine meals!

Breakfast

Cherry and cranberry porridge

I had a huge bag of frozen cranberries that I was making holiday recipes with, so I've been putting them in everything! As my Instagram friends will know, they went on porridge a few times and my cranberry sauce was really nice on a cracker with some mozzarella too.

Just a note - flax isn't 'scored' on the SIGHI list, so only use if you know you are fine with it.

Ingredients:

50g oats

non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

small handful of frozen cranberries and cherries

1 teaspoon milled flaxseed

1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions:

Bring the oats to a light simmer in the non-dairy milk, and stir in the cherries and cranberries. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring often to help it get creamy. Pour into your bowl and top with flaxmeal (if you can tolerate) and drizzle on some maple syrup.

Lunch

Turmeric vegetable pasta with fresh mozzarella

This was actually leftover pasta from the night before. While some people can't tolerate leftovers at all, I am OK if it is less than 24 hours and they are kept in an airtight container. We are all different though.

This is a real cheat's pasta. All in one dish to cook, and I'm sure a chef would be horrified. But it's easy and I was tired, so . . .

Ingredients

Pasta (I alternate between regular and brown rice pasta)

Mixed vegetables - peppers, carrots, cabbage, leeks

Coconut cream

Turmeric

Fresh mozzarella

Pumpkin seeds

Instructions:

In a large pan, fry the vegetables with a pinch of turmeric for a few minutes. Then add water and bring to the boil, adding the pasta. Reduce the heat and stir in the coconut cream. I add salt here too. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. Once ready, plate up, add the mozzarella and pumpkin seeds.

Dinner

Corn chowder

As I said, this is the true and honest what I eat in a day post, including terrible photos as it gets dark here so early! So soup is one of my go-to meals in the evening when I am extra tired, like right now. I make big batches and freeze and then reheat quickly in the evening.

Corn chowder is one of my favourites, and so easy to make. It also feels filling and so warming on a cold day. For this one, I swapped out regular white potato for sweet potato as that is what I had to hand. I like toast or rice cakes on the side, maybe with some mozzarella cheese (yep, I'm a cheese-a-holic and will eat it multiple times a day . . . ). Click the link for the recipe!
