Roast chicken and vegetables; berry crumble and ice cream

I woke up this morning to find mum sitting in the living room eating breakfast, a vast improvement on her condition yesterday. She has still been feeling uncomfortable, though, and the prescribed meds aren’t really helping, so I decided to do some research into food that helps gut function.

One of the main suggestions is pulses – beans and lentils – but mum’s response to that suggestion was a firm “no”. Other suggestions seemed more palatable, such as berries and oats: 💡 – berry crumble!

I’m pleased to say that I have definitely cracked the art of the crumble, as it came out beautifully golden and crunchy on top, sweet (a little too sweet for my taste, tbh) and fruity underneath.

I made far too much crumble – I used the same recipe as usual, but I think I must have halved it on previous occasions. Ah well, it means I have some frozen for the next time I fancy making a crumble.

Much of the coming week’s menu includes additional fibre, hopefully in forms that mum won’t object to the way she objected to the possibility of eating a lentil. 😬
