I also discussed how important eye care is for those diagnosed with diabetes and what foods are nutritious to the eyes when consumed. At 5 o’clock in walked Keith Brown from the FSB to speak about local business news for Brentwood and Billericay and results from The Essex Food Show! Plus how you react to mistakes depends on your mindset from the psychology part of my Drive show.

Friday:

Scott Hornsby came in to the studio to explain what the Brentwood and Billericay Tweetups are, why he set them up and why people might want to go!

Here are the ingredients for my restorative Nettle Soup for immunity and recovery, inspired by the amount of people with the usual colds of coughs at this time which I shared with my listeners on Friday’s Drive show:

1 teaspoon of butter, palm or coconut oil for cooking

1 large bag of wild nettle tops

1 finely chopped large sweet potato or 1/2 butternut squash

1 finely chopped onion

1 litre of homemade vegetable stock

150ml fat free natural yogurt or quark cheese (plain Soya yoghurt suitable for those that are lactose intolerant)

Freshly ground nutmeg and black pepper

Fry the finely chopped vegetables in the coconut or palm oil or in real butter for 2-3 minutes. Cover with stock, add the nettle tops and simmer for 15 minutes. Cool, puree and then gently heat adding the nutmeg, pepper and yogurt or cheese.
