Cooking has always been part of my story — from hotel kitchens to home recovery. Since my cataract surgeries, food has become more than fuel; it’s therapy, focus, and a reminder that independence comes in small, delicious steps.
Today’s dish is simple, fast, and full of flavor — a BLT wrap with horseradish and ginger, made to wake up the senses (and maybe your sinuses too).
🧄 Ingredients
-
1 chapatti or wrap
-
1 slice cooked bacon (or two if you’re hungry)
-
1 small tomato, sliced
-
A handful of lettuce, finely chopped
-
1 tsp horseradish sauce
-
1 tsp ginger puree (or fresh grated ginger if you prefer)
👨🍳 Method
-
Lay your chapatti or wrap flat on a plate.
-
Spread horseradish and ginger evenly across the surface — this is your flavor base.
-
Layer the tomato slices down the center, then add the chopped lettuce.
-
Place the bacon on top.
-
Fold up the bottom of the wrap, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly like a Chinese pancake.
-
Slice in half or enjoy whole — best eaten warm, with a mug of decaf coffee.
✨ Why This Matters
Every meal like this is a milestone. After months of blurred vision, double images, and recovery setbacks, I can now cook, see clearly, and even enjoy the colors on my plate again.
It’s not just lunch — it’s progress.
The world looks new when you can finally see it again — even in something as small as a perfectly rolled wrap.
🥄 Closing Note
To anyone facing recovery or long-term healing: start small, stay patient, and celebrate each step — even if it’s just breakfast, or in this case, a BLT with attitude.
