I can’t believe that in 3 days time Joe and I are going to be getting on a plane back home! Honestly it just doesn’t seem real to me! It’s like ahhhhhhhh I just want to scream because I’m so excited but I wish we could just skip over the whole 20+ hour plane trip and the layover and the jetlag etc! Oh but it will be so good to see home again and spend time with family and friends. Anyway now I have a huge smile on my face 😀

Ok so remember when I posted this recipe and said that you could use the leftovers to make something else, well this is the something else that I made! It’s a super simple salad but very tasty! The dressing is really what makes it! If you want some crunch add some roughly chopped walnuts on top! [Read more…]

Is it just me or does it feel like the warm weather just flew by in a flash? I’m not sure how it is where you live but it’s definitely getting much colder in our part of England! I should be grateful though for the fact that we had a pretty decent summer by English standards this year… and I am, grateful.

With Autumn (Fall) upon those of us living in the Northern hemisphere, it’s time to switch up those light summer recipes into the cosy warm recipes that Autumn has to offer. When we were living in Michigan, this was my favourite season. I loved seeing the leaves on the trees change colour and all that was involved in the Season over there. Americans definitely go out all out when it comes to these things, much more than the Australians and the English as I’ve seen so far! I LOVED all the pumpkins everywhere during this time in the States… I’m glad I had a chance to experience that! [Read more…]

It seems that ever since I passed the halfway mark of Whole30 the days have been going by reaaallllllyyyy slowly! Right now I feel as if these next 12 days are never going to end!

Last night I felt like making something different, something that I’ve probably only ever made once or twice before, in fact I can’t even remember the last time I made these myself. The main part of the recipes comes courtesy of Balanced Bites with a few minor adjustments in the recipe. I have been following this blog recently and am eager to get my hands on the Practical Paleo cookbook which from what I’ve heard is choc full of great easy and delicious Paleo recipes.

I paired the main part of this dish, which is lamb chops with an easy but delicious raw kale salad. I absolutely LOVE kale! It is packed full of goodness with things like fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants and it is also an anti-inflammatory food. [Read more…]
