I have an update on how my challenge of using up what’s left in my cupboards is panning out. I’m also joined by expert in IBS and acid reflux nutritional therapist Jackie Morrell to chat about IBS, low carb diets, breakfast choices, the role of food diaries, and the balance of carbohydrates in a healthy diet. Jackie also shares why she loves her Thermomix and how its transformed her approach to meal preparation.

This episode might not be exactly what the title suggests because this episode is NOT, repeat NOT, about making lots of changes to how you cook, what you eat or making any big lifestyle changes for that matter. It IS all about the very small steps and tweaks we can make in our kitchen and to home cooking through these winter months.

I also have a QUIZ for you to help you discover what type of home cook you are. It’s just a bit of fun but it might help you with future decisions. You can take the quiz through this link https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/632c1ed484209b0016974873 and please share on my social channels the outcome and whether you think it seems a fair result.
