Friday's Food Fix - Paleo Banana Pikelets

7/4/2017

This is an oldie, but a goodie, and soo easy! An awesome ‘sometime’ breakfast. This usually makes enough for two breakfasts for me. All you need is:

1 free range egg
1 tbsp of almond butter
1 banana

Blitz it together and fry in coconut oil...and that’s it! While my pikelets are cooking I put about a cup of frozen berries in a pot with a blob of coconut cream, and let it reduce to my version of a coulis. They magically seem to be ready at the same time.

Serve pikelets with berry coulis, a sprinkle of LSA if you like it, and a dollop of coconut cream. Yum!!

Friday Food Fix - Apple Streusel Muffins

17/2/2017

My recent baking efforts are these little muffins. Another great breakfast on the go idea - I heat them up and have them with a sprinkle of home made granola and blob of greek yoghurt...yum! but they would be a great little snack to. Enjoy ;-)

Friday's Food Fix - Paleo Pumpkin Muffins

10/2/2017

I love these little guys and they are perfect for breakfast on the go. I keep mine in the freezer and grab one out when needed. Pumpkin takes no time at all to steam or I throw extra pumpkin in when roasting veges and use it for whipping up a batch. Enjoy ;-)

Friday's Food Fix - Fish & Chips

20/1/2017

Don't you hate it when every one around you is talking about getting takeaways for dinner and you suddenly want it really badly!! This happened to me last night, but instead of stopping off at the local chippies I decided to make my own and was surprised at how quick and delish it was! This would make a great alternative to Friday nights Fish and Chips.

Ingredients:
Chips

Two kumera thinly sliced
1 tsp of dried thyme
1 tsp of dried smoked paprika
Salt and pepper (I used garlic salt)
Melted coconut oil

Friday's Food Fix - Cauliflower Pizza

6/1/2017

I'm not going to lie, this one is slightly more time consuming than your normal pizza base, but so much better for you and a great way to still enjoy this treat if you are cutting out breads from your diet. I normally make a bigger batch and freeze some bases.

Friday's Food Fix - Mushrooms and Garlic Zucchini Noodles

18/11/2016

I’m sure you have all been following Mandy’s Paleo diet. The assumption is to eat like our ancestors which means reduced grains or simply put, our modern day complex carbohydrates – one being - PASTA! I love a dirty pasta (especially covered in about 4 cheeses!) but on reflection it has very little nutritional value. I thought all was lost until I found this very clever recipe.

Ingredients:

6 medium sized Courgettes (you might say Zucchini if you are Kiwi).
500 gram Mushrooms (any kind).
4 cloves garlic.
Coconut oil for frying.

Ingredients:

Bunch of baby spinach
Sliced sun-dried tomatoes
Sliced button mushrooms
Sliced avocado
Handful of cashews and pumpkin seeds
Diced halloumi
Blob of coconut oil

Friday's Food Fix - Apple and Fennel Salad

26/8/2016

A little gem from Claire...

I was quite surprised at how addicted I have become to this salad. It’s another of the ‘raw’ dishes we are entertaining (see beetroot and carrot in my previous post) and it is very tasty!

17/6/2016

Super easy to make and freeze for the nights I get home late and don't want to cook a meal. I'm sure you all know how that is! Here's how to do it:
