Finding my way through recovery.
A personal journal of heart recovery, everyday meals and learning to care for myself.
I’m not a dietician. I’m a person with a heart condition who found recovery difficult. Creating meals for myself became part of finding my way through it focussing what feels right with my heart and body in mind, rather than getting everything perfect.
A little nourishment. A little honesty.
Meals, without the pressure
This recipe collection begins with the place food had in my recovery: making meals for myself that felt manageable, rather than aiming for perfection.
The person behind the pages
Living with a heart condition and recovering from surgery is the starting point for this journal. This is my experience, not a guide to how recovery should look.
A note on what I share
I’m not a dietician. These pages share personal experience, not medical or dietary advice. A meal that felt safe for me may not suit someone else. Follow your care team’s guidance about ingredients, portions and any dietary restrictions during recovery.
