As my kids will testify, I am not a cook. I don't like to cook and I hate the mess.
However, with this last Crohn's flare, I am learning to find alternative ways of preparing food because I am down to liquids only.
After speaking with my nutritionist, who suggested that I try preparing foods that are clean and grain free, I thought I'd give it a whirl. She suggested that I try just a few bites in addition to Ensure to help get the plumbing working.
After discovering cloud bread, which I am able to digest with no problem, I decided to try a no carb quiche which is so easy to prepare.
Crust
1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
1 egg
1 egg white
mix and press into pie pan.
Bake at 375 for 17 minutes or until brown.
While baking prepare:
4 strips bacon in pan, remove when crispy, add mushrooms and onions to bacon grease, cook until done
Add 7 eggs into bowl
Mix with 1/2 cup heavy cream
Add 1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
Fold in bacon, mushroom, and onion
Poor into crust and bake at 375 for 27 minutes
Mind you I can only eat a tablespoon of the quiche, but it was an awesome alternative to Ensure AND with the help of Zofran, was able to keep it down. The amazing part is it was so easy and mess free. I really recommend givi g it a try.
