I absolutely love staying with my parents, not only because I get to spend time with them….but also because I get a relied from parenting (!!) and cooking. I am SO lucky because my parents do actually eat the same way that we do, so I never have to worry about what is for dinner, or what Dylan would be fed. I don’t take this for granted as I know how tough some families have it when dealing with other family members and what is given to their kids, let alone the comments and concerns that are voiced as well. So for those who a going through that, at least they will see the outcomes of healing for you, which makes it easier to show that you are on the right track. Often family members will start asking you what you are doing and why you are looking so good, which is very rewarding! This lamb shank recipe is a regular one at Mum’s, and it is so tasty and nourishing!
Read MoreIt was my Mumma’s birthday last weekend but we didn’t get to see her until yesterday... and so I made up her own special cake for her birthday last night and it is d-e-lightful. My Mum is a very special lady, she is one of those Mum’s that is just there no matter what, from spending hours in my tweens waiting for me to pick out a bra (I was veeeery painful to take bra shopping!), to racing around to every shop in a town in Germany because we were going out that night and I had NOTHING to wear... to holding my hand and never leaving my side while I gave birth to my son Dylan. Love you Mumma!
Read MoreI have tried many a pizza base in my time (including Pizza Huts thin and crispy way back in the day!!) and I have to say this is literally my favourite. Since jumping on the grain-free bandwagon, I have tried the cauliflower base, the meatza, and I really think pizza isn’t a pizza without a bit of crunch in that base! This recipe is really versatile too, you can just make the base, cook it longer on a lower temp and voila you have crackers! I love the flaxseeds in this recipe, they give a nicer texture then just the nuts alone, but if you are on intro GAPS you can replace the flaxseeds with more nuts and then this recipe can be enjoyed from stage 4 :)
Read MoreYou may have heard me before talking about how densely nutritious egg yolks are, and how I LOVE them for adrenal support. Egg yolks are packed with our fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, plus other nutrients like calcium, zinc, B12, folate, biotin and choline. This makes yolks not just great for your adrenals (the choline reduces the stress hormone cortisol), but also for brain function, liver health, immune function, skin health…the list goes on!
Read MoreActivated charcoal is a powerful natural detoxifier that promotes an array of health benefits, in particular a healthy digestive tract. It is made from coconut shells or other natural sources, that is used to trap toxins and chemicals within the body. Exposure to toxins, such as pesticides, mercury, fertiliser, bleach, etc… can cause stress in the body in the form of allergic reactions, oxidative damage and poor immune system function. Activated charcoal works by binding to these toxins, allowing for quicker elimination and prevent the body from reabsorbing them. By removing toxins from your body, you can reduce joint pain, increase energy, promote proper metabolism and healthy liver function, as well as increase mental function.
