Paleo Chocolate Strawberry Trifle

Happy Friday! Here we are at the end of another week and today I have an AMAZING recipe for ‘Paleo Chocolate Strawberry Trifle’ to share with you from the talented and wonderful blogger behind The Foodie Teen. If you haven’t heard about Alessandra or checked out her blog yet you are missing out! I found Alessandra and her talents on Instagram and ever since then I have been absolutely loving this girl! Oh did I mention she’s 15!!! (Yes that warrants 3 exclamation points). I don’t know about you but I definitely wasn’t creating delicious recipes and taking gorgeous photos of my creations at that age! [Read more…]

Ginger Lime Chia Fresca

About a week ago I decided to cut out coffee for a few weeks, I don’t think there is anything wrong with coffee as long as you tolerate it but I felt like I was relying on it a bit too much and wanted to give my body a break. So I’ve been trying some alternatives to coffee in the morning, like Chai, Rooibos, Earl Grey other herbal tea varieties and things like warm water with ACV or lemon juice and a little honey to sweeten.

I recently came across a drink called ‘Chia Fresca’ and while I had head of people adding chia seeds to water and drinking it, I didn’t realise this drink had an actual name. Turns out that this drink hails from Mexico! When I saw this post I knew I wanted to try it out for myself so I came up with this quick and easy to make ‘Ginger Lime Chia Fresca’. This drink is nice and refreshing and a great pick me up in the morning! [Read more…]

Paleo Carrot Pancakes with Coconut Butter

Here’s the GOOD news… we’ve found a new place to move into! BUT we can’t move in until early September so we’ll still be in this place for a bit longer but I we seriously can’t wait to move out of here! The new place is bigger, in a better location AND it’s not in an apartment block, it’s in a gated community with the houses attached to each other which means no more having to deal with people above us making noises all night! AND my FAVOURITE part of all is we will be living LITERALLY across the road from a castle! How cool is that! 🙂

I’m looking forward to seeing how the new kitchen works out… it’s always an adjustment when you move into a new place! By the way this will be our 6th move (including moving from Australia to America, then America to here) in 3 years so yes you can call me ‘The Moving Queen’ 😉

Anyway so this recipe I’m about to share with you is not very sweet at all, in fact the only thing that gives it some sweetness is the homemade coconut butter on top… don’t worry coconut butter is EASY to make! It could be sweeter depending on if you add sweetener to it which I didn’t, but other than that there’s no sweetener in these paleo carrot pancakes. [Read more…]

Paleo Cinnamon Banana Bread

I try not to make/bake too many dessert or treat like recipes… ‘try’ being the operative word here because those things don’t last very long in our house and I definitely have poor control issues when it comes to such food! So I try and go as long as I can between making these things but when I do I want something SPECIAL!

One of my FAVOURITE treats is from my friend Alisa over at Paleo in PDX. I’ve made her ‘Cinnamon Roll Squash Muffins’ a number of times now and each time they come out a treat! The first time I made them I added in apples as well, you can see that version here.

Last week I really wanted to make these muffins again and was all ready to go but then I realised I didn’t have any squash of any kind, canned or fresh! And actually I’m not even sure I could find squash right now in England! I did have some bananas on hand though and thought why not sub these in for the squash instead! And then halfway through mixing the ingredients I thought why not turn this into banana bread instead? And I did! The result was a deliciously soft banana bread that was full of the flavour of cinnamon (just the way I like it) and with just the right amount of sweetness… [Read more…]
