Grass-Fed Meat & Vegetable Muffins

Remember how I said I was ready to get back into teaching, well I’m booked in to visit with a teaching agency next week so they can help me look for work and place me in schools around our area. I’m nervous/excited/anxious about the whole thing! It’s been a while since I’ve been in an actual classroom, let alone in a new country so fingers crossed it all goes well. And hopefully I can start picking up some work soon.

I feel like the longer I’m out of the classroom the harder it will be to get back into things and I don’t want that to happen. I’m hoping for a full-time job but for the start I think doing substitute/supply teaching might be the way to go just so I can get back into the swing of things. Well I’ll let you know how I get on at the teaching agency interview next week!

In other news I recently discovered a UK based website that sells grass-fed/pastured meats and raw milk. Actually they started following me on Twitter and then I jumped onto their website and was like OMG! Seriously that stuff makes me more excited than a new pair of shoes (I’m so not a girly girl)! Anyway I ended up ordering a few things from them, some marrow bones, some beef liver and raw milk… I didn’t order any other meat though since our freezer is already packed full but decided to get some marrow and liver since these are often bits of the animal that people bypass but they are some of the healthiest part of an animal, plus they are usually cheaper than the prime cuts because of the fact that people bypass them.

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…]
