Paleo Recipes & Expat Living
In my last post I mentioned that I have been on a bit of a sardine eating kick, and so I’ve been thinking up different ways to eat them. I like to keep things simple in my recipes, I’d like to think that just about anyone can cook what I share here on the blog, even if sometimes the steps to make something might be longer than others, I almost always use ingredients that most everyone has access to.

If there’s two things the Paleo/Primal community is obsessed with it’s bacon and coconut milk…just kidding… kind of 😉
Honestly though dairy is what is known as a ‘grey-area’ food due to the fact that many are intolerant to lactose and until you remove it from your diet for at least 30 days you won’t know how it affects you. Of course whether or not you choose to include dairy in your diet is for you to decide, but for those who can’t coconut milk can be a life saver! [Read more…]
Happy Friday! Here we are at the end of another week! Today I’ve got an amazing guest post for you from the lovely Debra who runs the blog The Saffron Girl. I first came across Debra’s work on Instagram and was immediately attracted to her food and… I haven’t told her this before… but as soon as I saw her blog name I thought NICE! Saffron is one of my favourite spices and is a staple in Persian cooking :). I also love the fact that she lives right here in England, it’s always great to connect with like-minded people, especially when they live close by! I hope we can meet up in person one of these days!

It’s funny and crazy how the food I eat now is so greatly different to what I used to eat before. I don’t always consciously think about it but when I do I think WOW! I mean there are things I eat and prepare today that never would have crossed my mind to eat even three years ago!
Since going paleo I’ve definitely become more adventurous with the things I eat and even the ingredients I cook with. When you don’t rely on things like bread and pasta to fill you up or store bought packaged food a whole array of ingredients are opened up to you.
At home I try to keep the meals I cook simple yet packed with flavour. I remember a few weeks ago shopping for spices since I either had to replace some or restock and the man behind me at the register said “doesn’t look like you’re going to be eating beans on toast with that lot”… uhhhhh yeh I think not! (p.s. I totally used to eat beans on toast before… isshhhh I know right!) [Read more…]
