I had a lovely weekend away with my husband. We went to the BBC Good Food Show in Harrogate. There were lots of lovely foods and drinks as well as numerous kitchen appliances. My blender broke last week, so I was interested to see what might be available … Continue reading
This morning called for another green smoothie. I was feeling a little uninspired however, so it went a bit wrong. Banana, spinach and yogurt seemed like it had something missing, so I added raw cacoao powder….oops! That was too much like my paleo chocolate pudding, but too late. I then added some frozen blueberries, which … Continue reading
This morning I was feeling the need to give my body a health boost. (Too much naughty Easter chocolate lying around to tempt!) A green smoothie or juice seems to do that, even if just psychologically. Todays smoothie was banana, baby spinach, apple juice, milled linseed and chia seeds. It had quite a bland banana … Continue reading
So my lovely hubby bought me a present yesterday – fresh sardines, with heads intact. I have never prepared whole sardines before, so this was new to me! It is relatively simple, just rub the scales off, pull off the head, along with some of the insides, then cut open … Continue reading
I usually have a fruit based breakfast once or twice a week. This morning was banana, Greek yogurt, blueberries and passion fruit. The passion fruit was something new for me, and very enjoyable. Passion fruit eaten with the seeds and pulp intact, (rather than straining for … Continue reading
I found some cranberries hiding in the fridge, from Christmas, but still looking as good as when I bought them! They needed using up, so I decided to make them into a smoothie. I blended together cranberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt and clear orange blossom honey. It was a little tart so I added a banana … Continue reading
The sun is shining this morning! Blue skies and everything. It’s amazing how the weather can affect our mood. It makes me want to jump out of bed and get going in the morning when the sun is streaming through the window. On dull and dreary mornings I could quite happily stay in bed (if … Continue reading
There is nothing better than a plate of fresh, warm pancakes. I have finally found a recipe for healthy, gluten free pancakes that works, and it really couldn’t be easier! Just use one banana and one egg per person (unless you are very hungry!) Mash the banana and … Continue reading
This is another fairly simple recipe, that tastes yummy and was a hit with the kids. Even my husband liked them! The original recipe is here: http://paleoaholic.com/paleo/paleo-carrot-and-raisin-muffin-recipe/ I used coconut flour instead of the almond flour, partly because I’m not a great fan of almond flour, but mainly because I had run out! … Continue reading
I really enjoy making and drinking juices, but not cleaning the juicer afterwards! Here is apple, cucumber, baby spinach and lime juice. So nice, and there must be some good stuff in there right?! Another of my favourite juices at the minute is mango, basil and lime. I actually blend this one rather than juice. … Continue reading
This is what breakfast should look like! Fresh carrot, mango and lime juice with bacon, avocado, baby spinach, tomato and pepper. This is so much nicer than cereal or toast, I wish I had found Paleo sooner! I have never been a fan of “normal” breakfast foods. Juicing takes a small amount of effort in … Continue reading
