Paleo Sweet Potato Mousse

Paleo sweet potato mousse

The sun is finally OUT! Trust me if you were here you’d be just as excited 😉 It’s still a little cold outside BUT I no longer have to wear my BIG PUFFY jacket and gloves and beanie when Joe and I go walking now. It’s funny how quickly you can get used to new conditions… if I was still living in Australia I would think this weather was FREEZING but after just a few months of being here that’s all changed.

Because of the nice change in weather we ended up doing a 7.8km/4.8mile walk on the weekend, we walked through one of the local parks and it was beautiful! I really should take some pictures one day. We also came across a sign for a charity walk taking place on the 19th of May, you get to decide how long you want to walk (3 miles, 6 miles or 12 miles). If we do it I think we’ll do the 6 mile walk!

Ohhh before I go on, I just want to tell you about a little change on my blog, I now have a Whole30 tab at the top of my homepage. I know a lot of people who are doing the program now so I thought I’d go through my recipes and put the Whole30 approved ones in one place. As you know from some of my previous posts I’m working on getting the sweet stuff out of my system right now, as well as some other stuff. [Read more…]

Spiced Butternut Squash Fries

First off I hope everyone had a good Easter! Ours wasn’t very eventful, we didn’t really do anything special for it… Joe had a long weekend though so we spent Saturday & Sunday just lazing about the house and going for our usual walk, except that the weather was a bit better this weekend and the sun was actually shining! We did our walks through two different parks (one on Saturday and one on Sunday) and I loved it! The parks here are beautiful and I felt like staying there the whole day! Seriously considering buying a picnic blanket and walking over there with my book and spending a day there reading… only if it weren’t still so cold!

On Monday I had this brilliant idea for us to go on a day trip to the Cotswolds. For those of you who don’t know the Cotswolds are… actually I’ll just let good old Wikipedia to explain it to you 😉

Anyway so I convinced Joe to go to part of the Cotswolds region and for us to do a walk over there. Little did I know what I was getting us in to! So we arrived at our starting point, in a village called Broadway and the walk would take us to Broadway Tower which is the second highest point of the Cotswolds. [Read more…]

Paleo Pear Crumble

If you looked outside our living room window right now you would think it was the middle of Winter and not the beginning of Spring! There is snow EVERYWHERE and it has been FREEZING for the past few days! According to The Daily Mail this is the coldest March since 1963!

Apparently last year at this time temperatures reached to 22C/71F which is not even HOT, especially to an Aussie who is used to temperatures of 30+C/86+F… but I’ll tell you what that 22C sounds PERFECT right now! In fact anything over 10C/50F would make me happy right now… a statement I would have NEVER made back in Australia.

Since the weather’s been like this I haven’t really felt like doing much other than staying inside and keeping warm! Luckily The Healthy Life Summit is on, so I spent most of Sunday listening to the first day of podcasts and I’m currently listening to the second day of talks while typing out this blog post. So far the talks have been excellent! Who else has been listening?

Uhhhh well enough about the weather, it’s unfortunately one of those things that you can’t control but hopefully the sun will come out to play soon (fingers crossed). [Read more…]

50 Reasons to Love Coconut Oil

Jar of coconut oil

Today I thought I’d do a post about my favourite oil. I’ve mentioned how much I love using coconut oil in a few of my posts and so for this post I thought I’d share with you 50 reasons to love coconut oil, I use some of these myself! Mind you there are more than 50, I just thought 50 was a good number 🙂
