Most nights she walks into the kitchen,

Unbeknownst of what to make for dinner.

As she opens the fridge for inspiration,

Her ideas and creativity slowly start to simmer.

In the kitchen she is free to play,

With different ideas, flavours and combinations.

As she combines and experiments with the various ingredients,

She no longer allows any limits on her imaginations.

For over ten years, food has filled her with anxiety,

Because she has this disease that causes multiple food related issues.

But in the past two years, through many a dark moment,

She has healed her gut and that is such big news!

Now, she gets excited when it comes to preparing meals,

She prefers not plan ahead, no she enjoys the spontaneity

Of opening the mysterious fridge door

To peak at whatever ingredients will inspire her ingenuity.

In the kitchen, she has come alive again.

She not only enjoys cooking, but her love for food

has been rekindled.
