Cinnamon and Vanilla Cupcakes

I’ve had so many positive comments about my favourite GAPS muffins lately. Thanks to everyone who has given them a go and loved them. When I made this variation the other day, I knew I just had to share the recipe.

Lemongrass and Ginger Turkey and Vegetable Medley

To start of the year, I’d like to share this recipe that I came up with last night. What happens when there’s only three people in your family and the organic turkey that you order is 3.8kg??? You have LOTS of leftovers!

Transitioning to whole foods – October 2012

This was my first month of 100% whole foods. The only exceptions I made were ones I didn’t realise I was making; vegetable oil in an organic vegetable stock powder, not knowing that agave nectar was a burden for the liver etc.

I felt empowered by my new resolve; I had no restrictions, so long as the food was quality and minimally processed (to the best of my knowledge) … I’d become a true “qualitarian”.

Totally Addictive Cauliflower Rice

This cauliflower rice is ready in under 10 mins, uses regular, non-exotic ingredients (so probably won’t require any complicated shopping trips – handy at this time of year) and is (wait for it) gluten, dairy, nut, sugar, soy, egg, legume and starch free, suitable for paleo, GAPS, SCD, vegan, vegetarian and ketogenic diets to boot.

Probiotic Power Choccie Smoothie

This Smoothie is made on a base of homemade Kultured Wellness coconut yoghurt. I am a sucker for shop bought coconut yoghurts, but it sure is cheaper to purchase the starter culture and make your own from scratch. Do I always make my own? No. Honestly, I still prefer the taste and consistency of a good Coyo (or equivalent), but when I’m feeling thrifty, the homemade variety does the job.

Thai Curry With A Difference

Last night I had the pleasure of cooking dinner for my mum and stepdad. Usually I cook GAPS food for myself and mum cooks what she calls ‘regular food’ for everyone else dining at our place that night. I miss cooking some of my old favourites, such as a simple chicken curry with steamed Jasmine rice. I always jump at the chance to cook a meal for the rest of the family.

Sweet and Simple Green Coconut Smoothie

No rant today.

Behold potassium-rich, gut-loving, bowel-cleansing heaven in a glass. This is one of my favourite summer treats.

Beetroot Chippies

This recipe is one of my new favourites. Although beware. The beetroot will stain your hands something shocking. There are a gazillion things worse than flaunting pink-tinged flesh on your palms. I figure it’s a small price to pay.

Rebecca’s broth

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to be cooked a delicious GAPS friendly meal by my friend Rebecca. She did a slow cooked beef roast with steamed veggies (cauliflower, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans) and roasted baby dutch carrots and butternut pumpkin. It was so special to be able to go somewhere for dinner and not have to take my own food. Thanks girl, I really appreciate it.
