Yaaaayyy for Fridays! I hope your week has gone well! I’ve been busy planning and creating new content for the blog. If you follow me on Facebook, you might have seen me mention something about a newsletter, or maybe you didn’t because I never know who of you, if any Facebook shows my posts to! Anyway, the newsletter is one of the things I’m in the process of creating, this will be sent out on a weekly basis (haven’t decided what day yet) and will cover my posts for the week plus some extra bits and pieces. I can’t wait to have it all ready to share with you! [Read more…]

Gut Healing Herbal Tea Gummies

Ever since I gave up drinking coffee (for the most part!) I’ve been drinking more and more herbal teas. I have a large collection of different teas at home so there’s never a chance that I might get sick of having just one kind! I usually drink a cup in the morning and sometimes I might have a mint tea after one of my meals or drink some chamomile tea before bed. In the mornings I usually drink Rooibos tea, which is a great alternative to coffee. Anyway I was recently flipping through my copy of this book which I LOVE and recommend for anyone living this paleo/primal lifestyle… especially for the newbies! It had been a while since I had many any of the recipes in the book (when you’re a food blogger working on your own recipes can take up time!), but when I was flipping through it recently and saw a recipe for tea gummies I definitely wanted to try it out!

I’m going to start this post by saying THANK YOU! I realised yesterday that I’ve reached 100 followers on my blog and while that may not seem like a huge number I am grateful to those who have decided to follow this little blog of mine and are sharing in this journey with me. So once again THANK YOU for following
and I’ll do my best to continue sharing my food journey (and beyond) with you 🙂

Ok enough with the sentimentalities 😉 Yesterday marked a new beginning for me… a new beginning without coffee! Yes I’ve been on this roller coaster ride with coffee for a while now. I’ll stop for a while and then jump right back on and each time I jump on I know I need to get off but I don’t. So yesterday, after already having had my morning cup of coffee I decided enough was enough and I went shopping and bought myself a whole bunch of greens. Things like spinach, kale and mixed baby greens so that from now on each morning in place of my morning coffee I can make a green smoothie instead.

Since we’re on the topic of food (aren’t we always over here) I made a Persian inspired dinner last night. Well actually it was more inspired by my dad and his amazing skills at making kebabs Iranian style! Kebabs or kababs come in many different forms in Persian cooking and according to Wikipedia there are 29 different kebab variations in Iran (there’s probably more!) Some of which I have never tried myself. [Read more…]
