Paleo Recipes & Expat Living
A few years ago I stumbled upon a recipe for chia pudding and ever since then I’ve loved making and eating them. I don’t have them on a regular basis, but every now and then I get a craving for one and make a small batch. I recently made an apple chia pudding and topped it with some kiwi fruit. Kiwi fruit is in season right now and I love the taste of it. The apple and the kiwi in this chia pudding work perfectly since the apple is sweet and the kiwi is kind of tart. [Read more…]
Spring is in the air! I can’t tell you how GOOD it feels to see the sun out and to feel it on your skin when you walk outside. When you live in a country like England that’s known for it’s bad weather (dark, cold and a lot of rain) you can’t help but smile and appreciate a nice sunny day. I can’t really remember what the weather was like this time last year but when I asked Joe he said it was still very cold. We had a great Summer last year though and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this year will be the same. Having some beautiful sunshine outside also means that I get to shoot my recipes in natural light and I don’t have to rush because the sun is about to set! [Read more…]
When we step away from eating a Standard Australian/American/English etc diet, filled with things like pasta, bread and other fillers into a Paleo/Primal/Real Food way of eating, we open the doors to a much wider array of ingredients and foods. It’s hard for those who are still eating a S.A.D diet to think about a life without their cereal or toast for breakfast or their sandwich or roll for lunch and their pasta for dinner, but the truth is when you let go of those items, your plate and your body are open to receive a myriad of incredibly delicious foods that came from WHOLE and REAL food sources… not packaged and processed ones.

Lately it feels like I’ve been having mind blanks when it comes to creating recipes for this blog. Some weeks I feel like I just can’t come up with anything and just want to give up on the whole thing but I always manage to find something to share. The truth is what I share with you here is what Joe and I eat at home, that’s why you will find more savoury than sweet recipes here, because we just don’t eat them very often and honestly I’m not a big baker so those recipes are kind of every now and then for me. I try to photograph at least 3 recipes a week of what we eat to share with you but on other days our meals are pretty much simple to make and eat things! I cook a lot with grass-fed beef/lamb and turn that into different things like meatballs, sauce, patties etc and just change up the vegetables and seasonings. So I guess cooking for the blog is slightly different to cooking just for us to eat. Anyway, I’m not a chef but a home cook so I try my best to share a range of recipes and hope that you all reading this blog will enjoy them! [Read more…]
