breaky…sweet potato hash

Sometimes I need more than a smoothie for breakfast and today I knocked up this delicious plate of food. Scrambled egg with spring onion,mushroom and spinach. Fried up some roasted sweet potato, sprinkle on some crispy bacon and then on the side some avocado. Easy and delicious!!

something chocolatey

I made my own chocolate! Making chocolate is easy! And so rewarding! Chocolate on AIP should be eaten in moderation and only once you are reintroducing foods back into your diet. Once you get the basics to making chocolate at home, you can start to experiment and play around with flavours, such as adding lavender…

just chill

I bought some Mighty Bee coconut meat in Planet Organic last week without knowing what to do with it! Mighty Bee coconut water is so good I thought the coconut has to be good too! I then decided to make some kind of sweet treat with it. I am finding it hard to fight sweet temptation at the…

go ape

I have to plug these new coconut curls from ape. It’s rare to find a completely natural snack with no hidden extras! These are totally addictive and contain just two ingredients – coconuts and seasoning – either plain sea salt, or pepper with ground cardamon & ground cumin.   The curls are thinly sliced directly…

something schnacky…like sweet potato muffins?

When I first made these, I stuffed my face with them for days. Try to have some control people. Even though in theory if you’re eating the right foods you shouldn’t really get peckish in between meals but sometimes the mind overrides the stomach and in certain situations you just want something BAD! So instead…

something schnacky…like sprouts?!

Grabbing a snack can be difficult on the AIP but with a bit of preparation you can treat yourself now and again! Brussels sprouts may not sound like a treat but once you have quit sugar for a few months, your taste buds will change, and then these bad boys seem heavenly! Simply heat up some…

tinned sardine fishcakes

These fishcakes are a doddle to make. Sardines are full of vitamins (including vitamin D) and minerals, and even those little bones are packed full of calcium. They are also low in toxins and high in Omega-3’s and sardines are a very sustainable fish. You can use boneless sardines if you prefer, but using the…

this is what i eat…chicken skewers

This dinner was a nice surprise! Easy to prepare and no time to cook. A perfect after work meal – and if the rain would stop maybe a great BBQ dish! Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Start by making a marinade: 5 tbs coconut aminios – I am in love with this brand currently 2 tbs honey…

catch that fat

When cooking bacon, make sure you catch all that good fat as it drips. Easiest way to do this is to grill the bacon and once done, pour the fat into a small glass jar. This can be stored in the fridge (it will solidify) and used when cooking other things. I love the idea…

this is what i eat…beefy business

As a child I loved braised steak, so it was one of the first things I tried cooking after being a vegetarian for so many years (strangely the first thing I cooked was lamb shanks!). I guess I love slow cooked meats that melt in the mouth. Vegetarians are not used to chewing! The plus…

this is what i eat…the winters kale

It’s the first question I’m asked – what do you eat?! So this is a look at what exactly I do eat! So for BREAKFAST I had the following: Some people will not like the idea of a kale smoothie but it tastes so good and is REALLY good for you! Just remember that part and…
