I’m Bethany!

What is it that fuels you? For me, it’s food. Food, lack of food, and how it affects different bodies – I just find it fascinating!

In 2019 I was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance (and a slight dairy intolerance as well). This meant I had to give up a major food group in our house: pizza (I’m serious, my other half makes the best pizza). This blog, Make Healthy Recipes, is a way for me to experiment with creating new food ideas, or twisting my old favorite recipes to suit my new diet.

I’ve tried a few different ways of eating over the years, mainly paleo, keto, vegan, a little AIP (because a Dr told me I have early signs of an autoimmune disease but it’s not bad enough for treatment), and also a candida cleanse. My recipes stem from these experiences, and now my journey toward optimum health through gut-healthy recipes.

I also quite enjoy fasting. I’ve done OMAD (one meal a day) off and on for about 3 years, and also did a 21-day water fast in May 2020 (what else do you do in a pandemic other than get pregnant? ha).

I hope you enjoy this life-changing adventure with me and have fun creating my recipes at home. Take a look around; perhaps you’ll discover what fuels you as well. Maybe it’s not pizza after all.
