Chicken is a staple for Slow Carb and Paleo eating so I’m always looking for new quick and simple ways to make it taste good. Herbs are a great way to do that without a lot of fuss. It’s summer in Australia so while most of you in the Northern Hemisphere are digging into soups, [...]
Chicken Tenders, Chicken Fingers, Chicken Strips, Chicken McNuggets. Normally we think of these things as breaded, deep-fried (and possibly mechanically-separated, chemical-filled) parcels of junk food. It doesn’t have to be that way. Using almond meal and some other seasonings, you can create your own, healthy almond-crusted chicken tenders. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour Sea Salt to [...]
Chimichurri is a flavor-packed sauce or marinade from Argentina. Since I’m trying to eat more raw veggies, I decided to take a typical marinade and build a super healthy salad around it. Don’t be intimidated by the large number of ingredients. This is really easy. Time Saving Tip: You can make extra chimichurri and freeze batches [...]
Today’s Slow Carb recipe is inspired by my recent trip to Indonesia. First I’d like to apologize. I know it’s been ages since I last posted. I’ve been pretty consumed with other projects as well as a few weeks on vacation. I plan to resume posting and make some bigger changes to the format of [...]
This is a delicious, healthy and versatile soup that can be served hot or cold (sort of like a chicken tortilla soup.) It keeps well in the fridge for a few days and due to the moderate carb content from the sweet potatoes, it makes an awesome Paleo “recovery” meal after a tough workout. Just [...]
I don’t have a lot of time to shop for food during the week, so I keep a lot of frozen chicken in the freezer that I can pull out in the morning so it’ll defrost while I’m off at work. These are a handful of my go-to recipes Chicken and Mushrooms This is a [...]
The past few weeks, I’ve been drastically cutting the beans and legumes from diet. With not much weight left to lose, I didn’t feel they were serving me well anymore. This has lead me to seek out recipes that fit well with the Paleo/Primal way of eating. One of my favorites so far is Moroccan [...]
I discovered this (Greek) recipe through an Asian-born, Australian, food-blogger, which I found delightfully amusing because the longer I stay in Melbourne, the more I see the blending of different food cultures. It originated from Rick Stein’s Mediterranean Escape cookbook. This is definitely a “comfort food” sort of meal. It has all the simplicity of [...]
If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a bit obsessed with curries. I could quite easily eat them 7 days a week and fill the whole blog with them, but I imagine that not everyone else feels the same way. This curry, in particular, caught my eye because it of the rice wine vinegar and [...]
I actually roasted a chicken just so I could make stock to put in my next batch of lentils. Admittedly, that’s a bit ridiculous, but I put the rest of the chicken to good use as well. If you don’t want to eat the chicken meat as a meal right after cooking, you have lots [...]
