Fried Eggs and Sweet Potato Rounds
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Studies show that there are wide ranging health benefits associated with eating a good breakfast everyday. Personally I need rocket fuel, and this breakfast sorts me out!
Read MoreRed Cabbage Sauerkraut
Is there anything better than sauerkraut? We're addicted to it! We add it to every meal we can. Since slowly building up my probiotic foods the bloating and digestive problems i've suffered from most of my life has all disappeared (apart from an occasional food exposure or highly foolish sugar binge)
Read MoreEverything's Orange Juice
This juice is an mega anti-inflammatory shot. I came up with it recently after managing to break myself getting back to some more intensive yoga. I landed myself with a yoga hangover and this juice was my alternative to painkillers.
Read MoreRosemary, Parsnip and Courgette Soup
I love a good warming soup, I like to have some ready made in the fridge for a quick lunch or to bulk out a dinner. I have a very good friend who is the master soup maker, she pretty much always has one on the go and they always taste AMAZING!
Read MoreGrain Free Coconut and Almond Porridge
I've come up with a few quick but filling breakfasts since going AIP and Paleo. This one is full of healthy fats and packed to the nines with nutrition, it keeps me going for hours. Plus it tastes great!
Read MoreVery Vert Juice
Green juice is just the best! Once you get into juicing, if you're anything like me, any other juice recipe will be 'in addition' to the live giving, zippy feeling of a green juice rather than instead of.
Read MoreCoconut Yoghurt
Being dairy-free has its challenges. There are alternatives to most just a case of figuring out how to to make them and which ones are worth making. Coconut has been fantastic at bringing that gap, it provided my milk, cream and yoghurt. When I was full AIP and couldn't have any nuts, coconut sorted me out!
Read MoreGrain-Free Beef and Liver Pie
I love an occasional bit of stodge, but it can be difficult to achieve on a paleo diet. There's nothing quite like a good hot pie on a cold winters evening. Since following AIP pies have been something I've dreamt of, but never thought I could have again. I've been playing around with pastry recipes that don't use nasty binders and i've finally hit on one that works.
Read MoreCreamy Coconut Coffee
I limit my caffeine intake to 2-3 cups a week. I make it an occasion, worth waiting for and I keep it for the weekends. Yesterday (the last day of term) I needed something a bit more just to get me through to the end of the day. I hit the coffee and it hit the spot!
Read MoreJuice Pulp Cake
I'm not one for wastage, when I'm spending a fair proportion on my wages on good organic produce I want to get every last nutrient that I can out of it. I'm always playing about trying to come up with successful recipes to use the juice pulp.
Read MoreBeetlejuice
It's no secret, I love my juices. I get cravings if I don't have one for a few days, I get a buzz when I do have them! I doesn't matter what's been juiced as long as there is more veg than fruit I'm a happy bird. Nutrition-wise there absolutely jam packed with nutrients, I find they are a great way to get loads of healing herbs and spices into you as well.
Read MoreCrunchy Coconut and Eddoe Chips
Fish and chips is the British staple, Friday's you can expect to see queues of people at the chip shop. Even schools sell fish and chips in their refectories on a Friday. You can't escape it.......the smell is everywhere. As a child Fish and Chips used to be our treat. My mum, my sister and me used to walk home holding hot greasy smelling paper wrapped chips close to us to keep us warm.
Read MoreLayered Salad Jar
I'm always on the hunt for easy but nutritious lunches, particularly if I can make a few in advance. My working week is always a bit of a whirlwind even though I work part-time so the more prep I can do at the weekend or on the days I finish at a decent time the better.
Read MorePaleo Pancakes
I've played around with a few pancake recipes now, they have all been good. When I was still strictly following AIP I made some interesting gelatin plantain pancakes. But my search has continued for pancakes that remind of the ones my sister made when we were children. I've messed around with proportions, added in other ingredients etc. etc. ad infinitum. Now I have one I'm happy with, easy ratios to make and easier to demolish!
Read MoreNourishing Tea
I've never been a big tea drinker, even before the big dietary re-track. I liked the occasional Pukka (I still have a very varied collection of those beauties) but one tea has been my constant companion this last year and a half. It is my portable hug in a mug.
