I’ll let you in on a secret… I sometimes break my own gluten-free rule! Banana bread has been a long time love of mine and whenever I go to an airport I allowed myself a slice of banana bread and coffee. It is a treat that I savour and enjoy thoroughly. But I haven’t been to the …
Raspberry Bliss Balls
The Christmas parties are in full swing. I have been on dessert duties a few times now. These raspberry bliss balls have made a showing twice. I like to take a dessert I know I can eat without feeling guilty! A healthy alternative to Rum balls. Paleo, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free.
Chocolate Gingerbread Truffles
Christmas is just around the corner and the parties have begun. These truffles can be made and stored in the freezer so you can take a batch along to a party for a gluten-free treat, or give away as a gift. Believe me, you don’t want them at home for too long as you will …
Cinnamon Raisin and Cranberry Bread
Sometimes I just want a slice of fruit toast for breakfast. In my prior life when I ate as much as I liked of whatever I liked, I really enjoy a dense fruit toast slathered in butter.

Maple Dijon Slow Cooked Beef
Using my slow cooker is one of my favourite ways to get tender meat everytime. You could use any beef in this recipe, and chuck steak would work well as the cartilage and sinew would break down well and become so tender and flavorsome! Prepare in the morning and devour in the evening! Tender Beef …
Chicken Liver Pate
Getting the nutritional benefits of organ meat can be challenging. Not everyone loves to eat brains, kidneys, or offal of any kind. But I do find most people can tolerate and maybe even enjoy some pate. You can make this recipe with any type of liver. Chicken tends to be very mild in its flavour profile …
Dill and Pickle Hummus
I love dip! It would have to be one of my most favourite ways to snack. I usually have it with vegetables, like cucumber, carrot, or capsicum. Occasionally I will bake some gluten-free crackers to have with it. But usually, I just try to increase the vegetable intake for the day with both the dip …
