Recipe: Tilapia and Rice

-

 This is probably one of my favorite UC friendly meals to have. It's simple and delicious. 

Tilapia and Rice Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tilapia filet 
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • oregano (or basil if you don't have oregano)
  • 2 cups of rice
  • Shredded cheese (any kind)
Directions

  1. Put 2 cups of rice in rice cooker or pot
  2. Before you put water in, put a dash of olive oil in rice and mix until the rice looks shiny and coated (this will make the rice not stick together). Then put 4 cups of water in with 1 tsp of salt. Leave to cook.
  3. Heat up small pan to medium heat 
  4. Put thawed tilapia filet in a small to medium sized bowl and coat in olive oil
  5. Sprinkle seasonings on each side of tilapia
  6. Put a little oil in pan and cook tilapia on both sides, 4 minutes on each side
  7. When rice is done, mix in some shredded cheese 
  8. Put rice into a bowl and cooked tilapia on top of the rice. 
Enjoy!

Definitely Not Anxiety

Currently, I am diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have known this for about two years coming up on three. However, I have had ongoing health issues since I was about 12 years old. I remember the day very clearly when I started having some problems physically. I woke up one morning and (I'll just say it, I'll be getting very personal on this blog) my period had started. Uncomfortable as usual. Painful as usual. This time though, I felt sick. So, I laid down on the couch. I felt okay, but then after a bit I started throwing up. Ever since that one day, I started feeling sick and throwing up every morning for months on end. I was homeschooled growing up for the most part, so I didn't need to worry about making it to school on time. It did affect my schooling though. I did have some online classes that I had to miss frequently because of this "morning sickness" that I had every day, but my teachers were understanding.  I became very underweight. I weighed between

Delving into My UC Disease and What I'm Doing Now

  "She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25 In case you couldn't read what was on the cover of my notebook there in the picture, that's what it says. It's a great reminder to not fear the future and to trust in God's plan. This notebook was a gift that my mother-in-law gave me, and it is now my health notebook where I write all of my findings and research on my condition.  Recently I had gotten off of those antibiotics that was for my UTI. About three days later, the infection came back along with a yeast infection. So, for the past week I have been fighting a UTI and a yeast infection simultaneously and had to get back onto antibiotics. It is very frustrating to say the least. Today is my last day on the antibiotic treatment and, miraculously, I have not yet gotten a flare from two antibiotic treatments back-to-back.  I have still been doing my best to avoid things I am sensitive to, such as dairy, vege

GI Appointment and Energy Level Update

  [Edit: Decided to put a different picture. It's similar, but it's a picture that I took of my favorite person during a walk. 💕] The GI Appointment A couple of days ago I went to the GI doctor for a wellness check-up. Thankfully, everything is looking good so far. I didn't have to do any tests for the first time in a while, and my medications are staying the same since it seems to be working well. I got the OK from my GI doctor to have veggies again since I'm in the clear from flares for the time being. My doctor did seem to be a bit concerned about my cholesterol though because of the medicine that I am taking. So, he told me to start eating more veggies and whole grains along with doing more exercise to naturally help my cholesterol levels.  I already do a little exercise, but not consistently. I enjoy biking and walking. However, in the area I live in, I don't necessarily feel safe going out for walks alone and I need to take my bike to a park to ride without h
