I had the most delish lunch today and wanted to share it with you all. I used those homemade tortillas and fried one until it was a crispy golden brown. I topped it with a mix of white albacore tuna, salsa, black olives, mushrooms and seasoning, and topped that avocado mixed with lime juice and garlic. It was sooooo good.

You could make any type of tostadas this way or even little mini pizzas. I think the pizza is what I will try next time with this.
I'm so excited about how good it is I just wanted to share it with the rest of you. Everyday I wonder if I stay on this diet, then I can make something like this and it's all OK again. :)

That does sound delicious. You seem to be a very creative chef.
If you ever run out of ideas, or crave something new to try, you might take a look at Dee's Kitchen, if you haven't already checked it out - she lists several hundred tried and proven recipes:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I agree with you 100%, that cooking your own meals is the key to the smoothest journey to remission, with the diet. We have many members who don't feel that they can break away from processed foods, (because of time demands, etc.), and they spend a lot of their time searching for "safe" versions, and they typically have much more trouble achieving remission, than those who cook from "scratch". Home-cooked tastes better, too, besides being more nutritious.

The other good thing about cooking from scratch is that you can make more than you need, and have leftovers for another day. And sometimes I find the food is even better the 2nd time around!
I do this a lot as on my bad days I have no energy or interest in food, and if I didn't have leftovers to put in the microwave, I'd not bother eating. Even though I know better, when my energy and spirits are down, I don't seem to care. It seems too much trouble to do anything. Then it's a vicious circle - too tired to eat so no nourishment means I get more tired and can't be bothered ....
A slow cooker helps here too. I throw in meat and veggies and some herbs/spices. Works with chops, chicken, ribs, sausage.
