An overdue letter.
Hey there!
Happy New Year! Yes I know I know – I’m a bit late on it. Seriously can you believe we’re almost into February 2017? The last year went so fast. But then I think that for many of us finishing up 2016 couldn’t […]
Yes crazy I’m actually doing a blog post with a new recipe – Christmas Pudding Bliss Balls! We’re over here in the UK visiting with my Mum for Christmas. Must say a lot more of our traditional Christmas dishes make a lot more […]
Hey everyone – our lunchbox eBook (“Lunches for Kids”) is being featured in The Paleo Family Toolkit – an amazing real food resource for busy parents with a huge bundle of books, videos and discount coupons.
This toolkit is way better than any other […]
Dom and I made these Love Heart Gelatine Gummies today as we started off going to make a lemon and honey drink for my cough but then got idea to make these. So easy! Gelatine is
According the information I’ve read the list of benefits associated with gelatine (or gelatin as it’s […]
When the days get chilly like they are in Auckland at the moment you really can’t beat an easy and delicious pumpkin soup. This one’s inspired by the recipe for Pumpkin & Coconut Soup in the fantastic What The Fat? book by Caryn Zinn Dietitian, Prof Grant Schofield […]
This isn’t really a “recipe” as such. Just the method of making chips that are super crunchy and delicious that we use so we’ve called them our perfect sweet potato chips.
Ingredients:
5 medium sized sweet potatoes (the purple ones seem to work best but orange fine too.
2 tablespoons of coconut oil […]
It seems there are a hundred different variations for making Homemade Nutella and I’m fairly confident that most of them taste delicious because it’s pretty hard to go wrong with the basic flavours here – we’re talking chocolate and hazlenut.
Our recipe is easy and and makes a yummy spread that’s perfect for […]
This was the headline that grabbed me and so we gave it a go. It’s just baked cauliflower but possibly as you’ve never experienced cauliflower before!
The end result – well OK, the cauliflower won’t taste exactly the same […]
We’ve played around with making tomato sauce before now and while the results were yum they didn’t really have the wow factor. That’s all changed now with this little experiment. It came about because the other night we’d done a big roast and at the same time I had cooked […]
Eating fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, is an incredibly healthy practice directly supplying your digestive tract with living cultures essential to breaking down food and assimilating nutrients.
The reason I’m inspired by sauerkraut and
Lunchbox Comparison
A few months back I did a Facebook post on the subject of school lunch boxes which drew a large number of comments. I posted the lunchbox on the right as an example of what as what I have see as typical […]
This Christmas tree made of fruit is a fantastic idea for a centre piece for the dinner table if you’re having people over for a party around Christmas time.
Creating this tree can be easy and fun but you definitely need to prepare with the right ingredients and equipment beforehand to avoid […]
I’ve never been into Christmas cakes. They were too sweet and I wasn’t a fan of the green and red glace cherries. Turns out I was probably right to be wary of them as too often store bought cakes (or even those home made) are full of additives […]
This uses the same recipe as our Paleo Cheesecake but made into mini tartlets.
This is paleo banana bread is too yum! It’s “the best ever” according to Chef Dom.
If bananas are very ripe it ends up more like a banana cake but if they are only just ripe it’s like a bread loaf. We prefer is the less sweet version but either way very tasty […]
Looking for a Quick and Easy Lunchbox Idea for School? Try Pete Evan’s Paleo Proscuitto-Wrapped Frittata Muffins (with or without the Proscuitto).
These ones are “adapted from” Pete’s recipe in Family Food as we were lacking Proscuitto and added in extra spinach as we have loads in our little garden. These […]
We’re enjoying some goodies from one of our favourite companies – Cathedral Cove Naturals. This morning we’re having its Raw Paleo Super Cereal and Coconut Yoghurt. This cereal is a nutritious mix of sunflower, sesame, pumpkin and chia seeds with raw brazil, macadamia, almond and cashew nuts and shredded coconut, […]
How’s your week going? If you’re looking at stainless steel lunch boxes here’s another to consider. It’s a LunchBots lunch box. We love this one as well as the Planetbox. They have different pros and cons. I’ll do a post on that as soon as I get a spare moment […]
Too easy and yummy. Have you tried this?! Goes great with our ABC grain free bread :-).
[…]
Another Chef Dom lunch in his PlanetBox:
Interested to know if many of you make your own lunches?! Comment below “buy” or “make”. I know when I was working in an office I used to either buy it or more often just not eat any and keep working through…
One thing I […]
Chef Dom’s real food lunchbox today – just a mix of leftovers from dinner last night and trying something new with the apples – coating them in cinnamon – great little trick as tastes yum and hides any slight browning that might be going on with the apples by morning. This […]
Fan girl moment with Damon Gameau of That Sugar Film. This and the accompanying That Sugar Book and school education pack are such great and important body of work. Why?
Because whilst many have got the message that too much sugar is not good the film and book highlight in a […]
Sometimes you end up with nothing in the fridge and you just really can’t be bothered with cooking. These occasions call for having on hand some good frozen foods on hand so you can whip together nice and easy. This is where I find that eggs are always a winner. So […]
Ok so here’s a super easy breakfast meal. But of course the trick is that you need to prepare this the night before. And by prepare I just mean at least add the chia to your liquid or you can go ahead and mix all the ingredients together so its ready to […]
