I received ‘The Gelatin Secret: The surprising superfood that transforms your health and beauty’ from my buddy Sylvie over at Hollywood Homestead recently and wanted to share my review here with you. If you’re part of the paleo/primal/real food community you will have noticed that the word ‘gelatin’ or ‘gelatine’ depending on where you’re from, gets thrown around a lot and with good reason. Gelatin really is a superfood and has many far reaching benefits.

In ‘The Gelatin Secret’ you will find over 45 recipes both savoury and sweet that will help you and your family get the benefits of gelatin in your diet. You will also find real food success stories from Sylvie and her husband Eric as well as in-depth information about gelatin, how it can help our bodies in a variety of ways and how to include it in your diet. But before we get into a bit more detail about the book let’s start by defining just what gelatin is… [Read more…]

Apple chia pudding with kiwi fruit

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.

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

Plate of 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!
