I like to cook and bake. However, I found that a lot of recipes – while tasty – had a lot of preparation and were quite time- and energy-consuming – to make. To help people in the kitchen who, like myself, cope with chronic pain and fatigue, I’ve launched this recipe blog. I’ve created, adapted, compiled and developed these recipes. Recipes that are easy, healthy, and time-saving, designed for those who suffer from extreme fatigue, pain and low energy. Those who experience pain in their hands from repetitive strain injuries, arthritis or fibromyalgia will appreciate the small amount of preparation required. Most recipes take 30 minutes or less counter-to-table.
I’ve tried to minimize the amount of processed foods used as it’s possible that, for some people, certain preservatives or additives can exacerbate chronic pain. It’s also chock full of tips to help those with chronic pain be awap (as well as possible.)

Hello there,
You have a cool blog!
I also have chronic pain since june 2006.
I have neuropatic pain in my right leg & Central sensitive syndrome in both my arms. My arms also get heavier since the beginning of each day. I can loose the functions of all muscles at once in my right arm. I can lift a glass of water & then suddenly , it falls on the ground. I am in total pain non stop, 24 hours a day.
Pain relief with medication is minimal but I use a lot my TENS machine = Transcutaneous Electric Neuro Stimulation.
I also have a blog & that’s why I don’t add the prep time for my recipes because with me that always takes so long! I am going to explore your lovely blog, right now!
Many greetings from a foodie & chronic pain woman from Belgium!
Thanks Sophie for stopping by my blog. I hope your TENS machine helps somewhat.
