Here's a short brain teaser for the afternoon. Requires little preparation and only some items from around the house. Definitely a fun activity. 🙃

Follow the video, and let us know in the comments how many you got right.

Comfort food season is officially here, and this is one of my all time favourite recipes. Chicken, bacon and leek pie. Yum.

For many people living with brain injury, cooking can be more than just making dinner. It can help rebuild confidence, routine, memory, coordination and connection, and sometimes it’s simply about enjoying something comforting at the end of a long day.

This one turned out pretty special.

What’s a meal that brings you comfort or good memories? Do you have a recipe that you'd like me to make next? Please share below.

Ingredients:
500g diced chicken
150g streaky bacon
2 large leeks
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp plain flour (for thickening)
200ml chicken stock
200ml thickened/heavy cream
1–2 tbsp Dijon mustard (adjust to taste)
1 sheet store-bought puff or shortcrust pastry
1 egg (for the pastry glaze)
Salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and butter (for cooking)

I wasn't really sure first if I should be posting this, but it is so important to show the good and the bad. Some days just fly by and they are great, but some other days, like yesterday, are heavy reminders of how living with a brain injury can get in the way.

My takeaway is to be kind to yourself, and know that you have people around you to help. BIG and I will always be there to help if you need it. Today was a better day.

What do you do for self-care? I love catching up with friends (amongst other things). It's so important to care for our wellbeing, especially with living with brain injury.

Please share your favourites in the comments. 🙂

Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was founded to encourage inclusivity, acceptance and understanding.

When wearing it, you discreetly share that you have a disability or condition and you may need help, while also raising awareness for hidden disabilities.
