Is it just me or is Monday the perfect day to get your procrasti-bake on? I’m on swot-vac and with my next exam not until next Friday I’m not feeling much urgency yet. There is no guilt in leaving the books for a little while and following my instincts in the kitchen – my own personal form of therapy (that and barefoot beach walks).
The other day I had the idea to make a muffin recipe that included bone marrow (after this bone marrow custard recipe went down a treat with my family).
Yesterday a miracle occurred in my kitchen. You see, for years I’ve been trying to perfect gluten free crepes for mum and I keep falling short. Most gluten free pancake recipes are thick and fluffy, as they are easier to flip and if you do find crepe-style instructions, they use buckwheat flour (mum doesn’t like this) or conventional pre-mixed GF flours (full of refined ingredients and usually additives too!).
This is comfort food taken to the next level A delicious recipe that fits in nicely with a ketogenic diet, GAPS (stage 4 I believe), grain-free, paleo, sugar-free, dairy-free (well, it uses ghee but lots of dairy-free peeps don’t react to ghee as it is pure butter fat; minimal lactose or casein. You could always use coconut oil, tallow, lard, chicken or duck fat), soy-free, nut-free, egg-free. Have I missed anything?
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.
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!

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.
I know it must seem like all I post about is muffins lately. Let’s be honest I’ve linked these muffins in countless posts and just recently shared this recipe with you all as well. There is a reason for this muffin-obession however. They are quick and easy to make, keep for a week in the fridge, are a nutrient dense source of fuel and taste absolutely delicious.
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.
You may remember this post where I shared that my healing (for lack of a better word) “journey” is changing directions. If not, you might like to go back and have a read.
