SEAFOOD CHILLI HOTPOT It's been months since I posted any of my Paleo recipes on here but after being inspired by a chef from his restaurant this week with his signature dish, I had to create this recipe. Being a busy mum, you sometimes just cook and can't be bothered with the work to write it all up. Am happy to say that this is one of my best creations so far and it has inspired me to work on my recipes again. This is an experimental dish that has worked out incredibly well

STUFFED BABY CAPSICUMS When I was little, my mother used to make these incredible risotto stuffed capsicums which were my favourite. These arn't risotto stuffed but they have been inspired by my childhood. Last year I had baby capsicums growing in my vege patch which were known as snacksicums and they had a really sweet flavour. I wanted to do something special with them so played around with some herbs from my garden, some bococcini cheese and some other herbs and somehow cr

AVOCADO, BACON AND EGG BREAKFAST POCKETS Do you ever get bored with breakfast on the paleo diet? Get stuck with what to make every morning so that you don't cheat? I know I do. Many times I just go for two boiled eggs because it's simple and because I love eggs. I probably eat around 10-15 eggs each week. Protein is a large part of my diet because I train at gym at least three times a week. As soon as I get slack and settle for a quick banana, I feel it at training and don'

ORGANIC ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP With some of you heading into winter, while the people on my side of the world into summer, soups can be good for many reasons. As a winter warmer or even as a light meal for dinner. I make my root vege soup all the time because I love the creamy taste of it. It only takes around 30 minutes from start to finish and it's so healthy, you can feel it as you devour it. I like to serve it with a side of home made fermented sauerkraut as you can see in t

HEALTHY CHICKEN STIR FRY Sometimes it's hard to cook a healthy meal in a short time, especially with a busy family and work life. But what we have to remember is that there are no excuses when it comes to our health. You have to make the time no matter what, because this is our health we are taking about. I know what being busy is like so sometimes I too take the easy way out, but there are always ways to cook healthy in a short amount of time. When I began my paleo journey a

BASTED ROAST PORK BELLY WITH ROAST VEGETABLES I would have to call this my signature dish because we have it at least once a week and I love that every time I make this dish, the crackling is just perfect due to to the way I baste the pork belly. That is the secret to making this dish so good. It isn't just a recipe where you throw the meat in the oven and let it cook itself, you have to also give it some love as it continues to cook. The first thing you need to do is cut th

CHILI CONSERVE One staple food that I cannot live without is my chili conserve. Besides the fact that I love spicy foods, this conserve is more than just that. I use it to substitute sauces with and as you will see in many of my recipe photos, I can't live without it. I put it on basically everything. This recipe is my lifesaver in many ways. A lot of people can't live without tomato sauce and unless you make it from scratch, the store bought sauce is really nasty stuff for

WARM CUCUMBER SOUP I love this recipe. It came about last year because my organic vegetable garden produced so many cucumbers that I didn't know what to do with them. I was giving them away to friends all over the place at first, but then I got thinking that maybe a soup could be possible from cucumbers. Who says you can't make a warm soup from cucumbers? I decided to try it and came up with this recipe and I was so surprised how well it actually worked. And the best part, it

INCA SUPER BREAD Ever since I turned paleo about five years ago, all I ever hear is; have you got any good bread recipes, and not the sweet kind like most of them are. Of the savory bread kind. Well that used to bother me too because I could never find a recipe that I liked for starters, but also a recipe that tasted like real bread. For me real bread tastes like tradition Czech rye bread and if I can find a bread that's close to it, I'm happy. My bread recipe is something be

CHICKEN BUBBLE AND SQUEAK  This recipe is a keeper.  Another accidental creation of mine that I am super proud of.  It makes a wonderful mai
