This recipe is so easy it hardly deserves to be called a recipe.
For lack of better word however, I am still calling it a recipe.
There are zillions of pumpkin soup recipes out there calling for a whole host of different ingredients; coconut cream, garlic, ginger, almond milk, herbs and spices.
Quite frankly, I find all you need is a rich broth and some fresh butternut. The result is sweet, creamy and soul-warming.
This soup is my favourite food in the entire world. At the moment.
LOOK HOW THICK AND VELVELTY IT IS!!!!!!!!! I AM WRITING IN CAPLOCKS BECAUSE THIS SOUP IS SOMETHING TO GET VERY ENTHUSED ABOUT!!!!!!!

A week or so ago I shared this bread recipe with you. I liked it, but knew that there was room for improvement.
Enter attempt number 2.
I’ve been on Stage 4 for about 2 and a half weeks now, but before yesterday I had been way to nervous to introduce the bread. The recipe in the Gut and Psychology Syndrome book only calls for three ingredients; almonds, fat (butter, lard etc.) and eggs. I was really nervous about how the nuts would go with my tummy.
This may sound dramatic but as I’m sure you can appreciate, if your gut isn’t quite feeling as groovy as it would like to, even the most simple foods can become terribly aggravating.
Just a quick post today because this morning I baked some GAPS friendly pumpkin muffins that turned out really well, so well in fact, that I thought it would be rude not to share the recipe straight away!
I’m going to be honest. When it comes to recipes I don’t often measure or write things down. I use my intuition – and usually I end up with something epic. This was one of those times, so below is the closest estimate of what I did. Don’t worry the ingredients are pretty forgiving so you can’t really go too far wrong.

The Stage I’ve been waiting for. This is the story of a girl reunited with her beloved avocado.

Stage 3 is where life gets a whole lot easier. One word; avocado.
I figured with all my talk of GAPS I should give you some recipes. In case you’re thinking of starting the GAPS journey yourself or want to add a few new dishes to your repertoire. Yoghurt/sour cream is a wholesome place to start.

I promised a GAPS diet protocol update and an peek into the routines and meals that make up the first stage. So here we are.
Stage 1 of the introduction diet is the most intensive part of the protocol that there is (in terms of restriction). It is the most gentle stage and really settles an inflamed gut before any new foods are introduced. Here’s what I was allowed to eat (according to Dr Natasha Campbell McBride’s book Gut and Psychology Syndrome);

In my last post I mentioned how I have undertaken the GAPS diet. I explained that GAPS is a gut healing protocol that seals the gut lining, re balances gut flora and ultimately guides the body back to optimal function* – groovy, huh?
What does the GAPS diet involve exactly? In a nutshell, foodgasm-worthy delights. The ‘introduction diet’ is the initial recovery period for the gut and is divided into 6 stages. After the ‘patient’ has worked through these stages they transition to ‘Full GAPS’.
