Those new to the low salicylate journey may find themselves wondering, what exactly does one stock the pantry and fridge with when many of their favs are now off the menu? Well, never to fear, I’m here to give you a little peek inside my kitchen to see what kinds of...
One of the things I miss dearly since adhering to a low salicylate diet is a cosy brew of english breakfast tea. Aside from being a hug in a mug, it was the ritual of steeping the tea bag, siping from my favourite teacup, then dunking my afternoon bikkie that added to...
