Sugarfree September {The Progress Report}
So I came unstuck with my Sugarfree September. It was bound to happen – it’s a hard thing to do. I suppose I was setting myself up for that with the three-part “sugarfree-ness” that I set for myself. Removing all sugars, fruit AND grains all at once is pretty intense. I’ve been keeping a food […]
Sugarfree September
Sugarfree September, a convenient term I coined this morning, has begun. I’ve spent the last week or so phasing out the last of the fruit from the fridge and freezer, replacing full-sugar temporarily with sweeteners and finished off the delicious buckwheat granola. I took part in some chocolate eating and I had a glass of […]
Nacho Salad “Two Ways”
So I’m embarking on my food experimentation journey this year, continuing to play with homemade recipes and adaptations and opening up my world to new ingredients. But that alone would be exhausting and we always need our kitchen staples to get us through. I don’t know why I haven’t shared this before – I think […]
Princess Buckwheat Granola
The doctor warned me about it when she handed over the results to the intolerance test. “Food rotation,” she had said. You can’t just have a single substitute for each food. She continued to tell me that all of the information was in the guide – the personally tailored guide from ImuPro, those lovely people […]
Coconut Fruit Cookies
I’ve been dabbling regularly in the world of vegan and raw cooking, even though I am neither of these. I eat meat (because I have to) and I like soups and stews too much to ever consider giving up cooked food. That said, the people from these two schools of eating are the most wonderfully […]
Mustard & Dill Chicken Parcels
After discovering the simple, fast and easy wonder of foil-baked chicken parcels, I was off on a new cooking journey. Then, there was a whopping great big bunch of dill in my fridge that I wanted to play around with. I’m not big on eating a lot of meat, but heck, this was AMAZING. Dill […]
Super-Brownies {GF Vegan}
I was recently inspired by a fellow food blogger’s post about gluten free brownies. They sounded and looked delicious, and it was in the lead up days to the Ras Al Khaimah half marathon. I couldn’t think of a better time to experiment with the ingredients, tinker with substitutions, and find my way into the […]
Friday Frittata
I used to be the frittata master. It was eaten at least once a week, and they were always gobbled up quickly both for dinner and an easy lunch the next day. Sometimes, it was the end of the week and it was a grand saviour in the empty fridge situation, and other times it […]
Ginger Chicken Parcels
Andrew loves chicken. Lots of it. I like chicken, but I was a bit done with pan frying it. A bit like that time when my whole family went low-carb and we seemed to have “Tuscan Chicken” every other night. I’m sure we didn’t, but I remember the Tuscan Chicken comment being thrown about a […]
Chicken Dumplings in Ginger Chilli Broth
So, there was a chicken issue in our house. Andrew has lost a very significant amount of weight in the last eight months, and a good part of that is in the change of evening meals often being made of grilled chicken and some form of vegetables. The carbs are gone from the evening meals, […]
Molasses & Oat Cookies
I have a confession to make. I LOVE blackstrap molasses. When I was about 5 or 6, I remember my aunt taking me up to the sheds on her farm to help put together the food for the horses. She let me dip my finger into the giant vat of molasses and stand in wonder […]
Leek & Potato Soup
Recently home from Nepal and nursing a double hit of food poisoning and brief hospitalisation, I wanted soup. That said, I was sick and tired of canned crap and food cooked by anyone else in general. Cheap, easy and yummy, I loved this curried wonder which warms up great for a couple of days afterwards […]
