Regular readers will have no doubt heard read me mention my stepdad Phil a number of times. For the newbies, here’s the low-down. I love my Stepdad. A lot. When it comes to health we don’t always see eye to eye (and that’s putting it politely).

I have updated this post (I am writing to you in June 2019 and the post was originally written in 2016). It was wordy. Yawn! This smoothie doesn’t need a rant. It just needs to be embraced.
An even tastier variation is available in my glorious paperback; Periods, Poo & A Glorious You but for now, the original base recipe will do just dandily.
Winter is well and truly here. I’m still wearing shorts religiously. Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike wearing pants? I digress.
In humble Adelaide I’m freezing my little titties off!!! I know, Rachel, GET SOME PANTS! Again, I digress.
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.
