Paleo Recipes & Expat Living
In my last post I mentioned that I have been on a bit of a sardine eating kick, and so I’ve been thinking up different ways to eat them. I like to keep things simple in my recipes, I’d like to think that just about anyone can cook what I share here on the blog, even if sometimes the steps to make something might be longer than others, I almost always use ingredients that most everyone has access to.

* The winner of the four bottles of Love Kombucha is Karen W! Congrats Karen! Make sure to check your email for a message from me today 🙂
Thanks for playing along everyone, I will have more giveaways coming up in future!
I’m exited to announce my very first UK only giveaway on the blog. I recently teamed up with a great company here in the UK called Love Kombucha to share a recipe using one of their four great kombucha flavours (Original, Blueberry, Ginger and Ginger & Lime) and to give away a bottle of each of these flavours to one lucky winner!
Before I get into the recipe lets talk a bit about kombucha first, maybe you’ve heard of it… maybe you haven’t. Either way this drink is filled with loads of benefits so let’s get to it… [Read more…]
When it comes to cooking, one of the most useful pieces of kitchen equipment you can have… and should have is a slow cooker. I use mine multiple times a week and I’m actually considering getting a second one at some point, just so I can have more than one thing going at a time, which would be especially useful for when I’m making bone broth.
Slow cookers are great for any time of year really, and you can get a lot of food made with minimal effort, all you have to do is wait! One of my favourite things to make in my slow cooker is a whole chicken. There are a million different ways to dress up a whole chicken and you’ll even end up with leftovers to use during the week (watch out for a leftover chicken salad I’ll be sharing in an upcoming post!).

I debated whether to share this recipe or not, I mean I have a feeling most people would already know how to make herbed butter but at the same time maybe some people don’t? In any case I thought it would be a good one to feature as a recipe here since herbed butter is so versatile! To be honest it had been a while… actually a long time since I had made it myself but since I was planning on making a whole chicken in the slow cooker and wanted to use this in there, I decided to share it with you. The recipe for the chicken will be coming up as well!
So what is herbed butter? Basically it’s taking a softened block of butter and adding in fresh herbs to it and mixing together. Some people also use dried herbs but I like using fresh. What you use is up to you and depends on what you’re going to pair it with. I also like adding lemon zest or orange zest as well to really liven up the flavours! Once you’ve made your herbed butter you can use it for a number of things like cooking vegetables in it or adding it to some baked potatoes or adding some on top of a well cooked piece of steak… YUM!
