Well not actually, though I have been known to make suggestive noises when I bite into sumptuous preparations, I do not, repeat DO NOT, make love to my food. Hopefully, however, I grabbed your attention with the title, and now you’re thinking; hmmm orgasmic dinner bowl … I’m intrigued.
This tasty bowl is …
Addictive – I’m warning you now
A complete source of protein – all essential amino acids are represented
Rich in nourishing fatty acids – may your skin, brains, gonads (I’m serious) and hormones drink them in. Cheers.
Poop-producing fibre – so much roughage. Glorious!
Easily prepared in advance – busy beavers rejoice!
Holy Moly! How random is it that I feel this intense drive to write a post about breakfast of all things? Someone out there must really be in need of some clarity, and the universe has called upon me to rectify the supposed ‘rules’ and idealisms that accompany breaking the overnight fast.
I’ll keep things brief because this matter is stupendously simple;
“You can break the fast whenever you feel called to, and when you do, your body appreciates it to be done with REAL FOOD!”
Every family has a favourite Christmas Cake recipe. Passed down through the generations or created in recent times from experimentation gone right. This moist fruit cake is the latter.
A synergy of almonds, coconut and banana flour makes this special Chrissie treat gluten and grain-free without compromising texture or flavour. The addition of essential oils brings an a touch of Christmas love and makes me think of my friend Kimmy – the woman that took my mild affection for essential oils and turned it into borderline-obsession (and I wouldn’t have it any other way!)
Most of my recipes are, at least to some extent, “anti-inflammatory.”
All whole foods are anti-inflammatory in one way or another.
Some are potent anti-inflammatories, containing compounds that actively reduce inflammation in the body, such as turmeric and it’s active compound curcumin
Others, such as berries and sweet spuds, contain antioxidants which fight pro-inflammatory free-radical damage
Then there are those that aren’t anti-inflammatory themselves, but are a great replacement for food-like substances that are.
These were previously called ‘My Favourite GAPS Muffins’ and if you search for them on this site, their original post will still come up.
Earlier this year, my mates Jo and Foo released their beautiful cookbook ‘Life Changing Food’, which contains a slight adaptation of said GAPS muffins that Jo dubbed ‘Rachel’s Fat Bomb Muffins’. This recipe has been very well received and I keep getting tagged all over social media alongside photos of these darling cakes being made by their readership. It’s very humbling and super-duper exciting.
It’s been a while since my last “a day on my plate” post and I figured, I’ve actually got time to do a blog post (this chicken is up-to-date with her uni assignments). Let’s take a peek at my veg-a-licious eats.
I was the queen of digestive distress for nearly a full decade of my life (and I’m only 20!) – a crown I’m stoked to have shed. Unhappy digestion is multi-factorial in nature. Rarely is there one lone trigger or underlying cause. Whilst this list is by no means exhaustive (and is a bit generalised – not taking into account YOUR unique situation), you will hopefully still find it a good reminder of the basic rituals, habits and practices that can help alleviate what ails you; nausea, constipation, gas, bloating, pain etc.
