Plate with Italian style pork frittata

I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for about a week now (seriously where does the time go?!) but I was having problems with the software I use for my photos so I had to wait until that was all sorted. Luckily it looks like it’s been fixed now, which means I get to share this with you… YAAAYYYY!!!

Before I tell you about this recipe though I wanted to share something really cute that Joe said to me last night (and sorry if you’re reading this love but I just HAD to share!). So last night we were supposed to go down to the supermarket to pick up a few things and Joe needed some shaving cream, but I wasn’t feeling the best and just wanted to eat and relax after dinner so I suggested for him to use some of my coconut oil to shave. He isn’t a fan of the smell of coconut oil but I convinced him to give it a go. Well turns out he liked it and was happy with how it worked and the cute part… after he was done he came to me and said something along the lines of “there’s so many strange looking ingredients in my regular shaving cream.” Seriously I thought that was so cute and so observant of him :). This morning I asked him if he wanted me to go get him some shaving cream today and he said no I’m happy to use the coconut oil. GO JOE!!! [Read more…]

Pork loin steaks with morello cherry sauce

Is it just me or did last week just go by REALLY REALLY slowly? I can’t believe it hasn’t even been 2 weeks since I’ve been back from my holiday! And yes I will definitely be doing a couple of blog posts about it but I’m still trying to decide which photos to include in the posts since I have SO MANY! I should have something up this week and probably next week too.

For this post though I wanted to share a recipe I came up with over the weekend. Sometimes I get these ideas in my head of wanting to create a dish and then I just have to run with it and keep my fingers crossed that it will work… luckily 99% of the time it does!

This recipe uses pork loin steaks and Morello cherries in syrup. I’m not 100% sure if the Morello cherries can be classified as paleo since they have sugar in them BUT the ingredients on my jar of Morello cherries were clean and I believe the sugar is there to thicken up the syrup that the cherries sit in. In any case it’s not an ingredient that I use very often but there was something about pork and cherries together that had me thinking! I’ve heard that duck and Morello cherries go well together but I personally had never heard the same about pork. I knew that pork and apple went well together so I thought why not let’s give this a go! [Read more…]
