Since I’ve been Paleo my cooking has got more and more inventive, and I find I’m using a lot of different Herbs & Spices. This does start out quite expensive if you don’t have any, but I really recommend going out and buying a basic selection to get started with. Just by changing the herbs […]
I felt like experimenting in the kitchen earlier and came up a Recipe for these colourful vegetable cakes. They were a great colourful addition to a steak, all be it a little unusual! They were a bit too soft, so I think next time I'll bake them for a bit longer. Tri Colour Vegetable Cake […]
I went out for a farewell lunch with my team today. We went to a bar in the city centre, with a fairly typical bar menu. So – a Paleo Lunch? I'm quite happy to go almost anywhere to eat, with the knowledge that on most menus, with a bit of staff interaction, a Paleo […]
The one Paleo area I've been completely avoiding has been the whole No Shampoo & No Soap issue. I recently had my hair done for my Birthday and I was quite shocked by the number of products I was smothered in (my hair didn't look that amazing after either): Shampoo Colours for highlights Shampoo Toner Shampoo […]
I've definitely started to notice there are a lot more Paleo friendly stories in the media recently. Perhaps the tide is finally turning? I used to eat a lot of fruit and was always under the impression that you could never have too much. It’s good for you, right? Since I've got more and more […]
Cherry Ripes are the oldest chocolate bar in Australia – and hugely popular. My problem with Cherry Ripes is the ingredients: – Sugar, Coconut, Glace cherries (cherries, sugar, flavour, colour (129)), Wheat Glucose syrup, Cocoa mass, Sweetened condensed milk (milk concentrate, sugar, lactose), Vegetable fat, Milk solids, Cocoa butter, Cocoa powder, Invert sugar, Gelatine, Emulsifiers […]
Dairy is one Paleo area I've been thinking about a lot recently. A lot of people follow a strict Paleo diet, and include dairy, known as a lacto-Paleo diet. Dairy is also the main difference between a Primal and a Paleo diet (Primal includes modest amounts of high quality dairy). Prior to my trip to […]
Coconut Oil is a huge staple in my house. I generally order a large tin in from my local health food shop, but having realised I’m getting through 700ml in under three weeks, I've started researching and comparing costs of coconut oil. I've been spending $36 on a 700ml tin of Melrose Organic Extra Virgin […]
When I go food shopping, I'm always really interested the see what other people have in their trolleys. Likewise, I get some funny looks, especially when I buy lots of red meat, eggs and coconut milk. I can just see the people wondering what I'm going to do with it all. Surely she can’t be […]
My first ever pair of boxing gloves arrived at the gym last night (er, a Birthday present to myself?)! They’re pink and quite possibly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve even got matching pink gloves to wear inside (though on reflection, perhaps that’s a bit silly as I won’t be able to see […]
