Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
After a heavy red-meat type of weekend with Slow Roast Beef Brisket and my Paleo Lasagne, we’d decided on chicken tonight as a lighter option for dinner and I wanted something fairly healthy without too much fat. I find that if you use herbs right then …
Tonight I had my mum staying over with me and after a very meat-heavy week with Slow Cooked Brisket, Beef Bourguignon and Lamb Shoulder on the menu I decided to cook a nice healthy fish dish – I also wanted something easy and quick so …
So I bet you could see this coming a mile off…this week I’ve made bolognese sauce and béchamel sauce…which obviously come together best in a lasagne! It’s one of those foods that I miss, and to be honest, I’ve never cooked before, mainly because I …
It never happens that we have a Saturday night to ourselves but we had one free this weekend and I was very excited to spend it indoors. A night in front of the fire was in order so, to amplify the cosy feeling, I decided …

Some nights I need a little inspiration for what to cook for dinner. On these nights I tend to trawl Pinterest as my go-to site for recipe ideas. I knew I wanted something healthy and I saw a recipe for paprika crusted chicken nuggets. I couldn’t …
Last night we decided to have a BBQ outside and burgers were on the menu. Dan normally makes his Super Simple Spicy Burgers but today we decided to up the ante and go for something a bit different. Melting Middle Mozzarella Caprese Burgers were what …
Today, I found some amazing yellow cherry tomatoes while I was out shopping for something for dinner. I definitely wanted to make a salad with them so I racked my brains to come up with something tasty and light pair them with. A few weeks …
