It's easy for us during winter months to go a little crazy on those carbohydrates such as breads, pasta and rice. Our natural instincts to feed and bulk ourselves up is right but eating too much of these foods can lead to digestive disorders which are not comfortable for winter.
If your feeling discomfort with things like diarrhoea, gas, bloating, constipation, abdominal cramping, reflux and similar conditions then it's definitely time to upgrade the diet. The common approach to just “live with it” can lead to it developing into chronic illness the longer you let it go on. Over the coming months, we want to share with you some of our favorite winter dishes that will keep you warm and nourish your body at the same time. Here's my all time favourite!

This Soup you can enjoy in the evening and this may surprise you, but this bone broth is actually perfect to drink in the morning, especially on a cold morning!
