Jo has been dairy free for about eight months I reckon. She asked me shortly after we met about my own food intolerances and showed me the arthritis in her wrists and hands, which were very stiff and painful to move (painful even to watch), I suggested she try eliminating some things that can cause inflammation, and the lucky duck got it on her first try. Yep, you guessed it, dairy.
Well of course it wasn’t quite that easy, she had to go through the whole, it can’t be, I will just have milk in my coffee, ouch, ouch, okay, no milk. I will just eat this lump of cheese, ouch, ouch, okay, no cheese either.
But she has reached acceptance really quickly, far more quickly than I did, and I am so proud of how she is going. She is an adventurous cook and that helps, she sent me this snap of her dinner so I asked her to share the recipe with you.
Ingredients
Baby potatoes
fennel
sugar snap peas
baby spinach
rocket
4 radishes
1/2 cup dairy free mayonnaise (note to self, put mayonnaise tutorial on list)
1/2 cup dairy free Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon combined dijon and seeded mustard
