Imperfectly Paleo

This week I noticed that my mint plant is fully sprouting an abundance of green leaves again, having gone dormant for the duration of winter. Oh, to be a mint plant! Mint Choc Chip Green Smoothie

Whoop Whoop - could I BE any more excited?? Thrilled, ecstatic, over the moon and incredibly thankful to The Paleo Mom for featuring my first ever guest post. A sneak peek..

Sweet Potato Coconut Chia Breakfast Pudding I'll admit this is not the sweetest of 'puddings' but it works well to start the day without a surge in insulin.

Our family has had a month of passing the virus baton! Super Simple Unsweetened Apple Sauce Along with half the mums of the children in my 7 year old's class, I was struck down by some undiagnosed illness

Such a simple one pan meal that takes less than 15 minutes to cook and can be eaten out of a bowl for extra comfort factor! Comfort food doesn't get more comforting than this - like a huge hug in a bowl! Prawn and Coconut Cauliflower Rice

Keeping it super simple #kiss for summer mealtimes. All the more time to enjoy the sun. Chicken and Fennel Salad with Citrus Tahini Dressing

I was deluded in believing (read, wanting to believe) that I was holding up my Paleo principles while away for a week on a family holiday. The truth behind the picture perfect...
