These sweet little Paleo balls of protein are packed with tons of healthy fat and are the perfect Paleo snack when you’re on the go. Use different types of nuts to add some variety, and other variations include adding cinnamon, dark chocolate, or dried berries instead of fresh ones. Or instead of coconut, roll the finished balls in sesame seeds.

Chicken Cacciatore, Paleo-Style

HealthyRecipes — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:56:48 +0000

Chicken Cacciatore Paleo-Style Chicken cacciatore is one of my favourite chicken dishes to make, as it’s so tasty and full of protein with the goodness of vegetables, and fits right into a good Paleo lifestyle . Cacciatore is basically a chicken stew, and can be made in a variety of ways. I like to use chicken thighs as they are very tender and will absorb more of the surrounding flavours of the dish, but any part of the chicken can be used. Feel free to add any other seasonal vegetables available to give yourself a bit of variety. It can all be made in one pot, so cleaning up afterwards is a lot easier, and you can make a larger batch in advance to heat up when needed, which is great if you know you have a busy week ahead! Chicken Cacciatore Ingredients 2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive oil 8 (approx. 1.5kg) chicken thigh cutlets 1 red onion, sliced 200g button mushrooms, sliced 1 red capsicum, sliced 4 slices pancetta, roughly chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 cup Kalamata (black) olives, pitted and sliced 400ml (1 can) crushed tomatoes ½ cup red wine ¼ cup oregano leaves, roughly chopped ¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped Sea salt and pepper, for seasoning SERVES 4 How To Make Chicken Cacciatore, Paleo-Style In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown the outsides. Remove chicken from the heat, and add the onion and pancetta. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Return the chicken back to the pot, along with the garlic, mushrooms and capsicum. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the mushroom and capsicum softens. Add the olives and the red wine, and cook till the red wine reduces by half. This will increase the richness and intensity of the flavour

The Paleo Breakfast Of Champions

HealthyRecipes — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:56:08 +0000

The Paleo Breakfast Of Champions I’m sure you’ve heard people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day , but do you really eat a quality breakfast to give yourself a kick-start every single day? I used to eat a big bowl of cereal each morning, followed by a couple of slices of toast… that is, until I found out how bad eating grains is for our bodies. The purpose of this post isn’t to go into details about what eating grains can do to your body, but more about giving you a better quality option to choose for breakfast. If you want to find out for yourself what eating Paleo is all about, there are some really good websites around like robbwolf.com and marksdailyapple.com that can explain further, plus I will have my own ebook available shortly which will talk about why you should avoid eating grains, among other things. A Paleo Breakfast Nope, today I just want to talk about one of my favourite ways to fuel up on energy after a big nights sleep, a big seafood and egg breakfast! It’s full of essential omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, and plenty of other nutrients to satisfy your body’s needs for a great start to the day. The Importance Of Breakfast If you’re the sort of person who skips breakfast, or has a very light breakfast while rushing around early in the morning to get the kids off to school, and get yourself off to work, then I just want to briefly cover why you should eat a bigger breakfast

Easy Paleo Chocolate Mousse Recipe

HealthyRecipes — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 00:27:51 +0000

Lately I’ve been eating a Paleo diet , which for those of you who don’t know what that is, I’ll be sharing plenty more information about very soon. Basically it’s about eating like our hunter-gatherer ancestors , foods like meat, seafood, fruits, nuts and veggies, and cutting out grains and dairy. To a lot of people starting down this path, it can seem like it takes away a whole lot of your food options, particularly desserts. I’m here today to tell you that this don’t necessarily need to be the case, you can still get some good sweet foods in if you desire. Antioxidant Power Of Dark Chocolate The trick is to cut way down on sugars, especially from packaged foods and complex carbohydrates, and using chocolate Easy Paleo Chocolate Mousse With Fresh Berries that is really high in cocoa content, minimum 45%, but use 70% if you can. It may seem a little bitter and hard to eat at first, but this Easy Paleo Chocolate Mousse Recipe that I’m sharing right now will show you how you can add a couple of other natural sweeteners like honey to make it really delicious, and most importantly, maintain the rich dark chocolate benefits of high antioxidant levels with 70% cocoa mass.

Eat Fresh Food – It’s The Only Way

HealthyRecipes — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:47:49 +0000

For quite a while now, I’ve been eating food based on the Paleo Diet … in fact it’s been about 9 months since me and my girlfriend first started trying this out. If you’ve never heard of this, I’ll give you a quick rundown now, although I’m in the process of writing a very in-depth book about it as we speak. The Paleo Diet It’s mostly based on the concept of humans as hunter-gatherers, collecting our food from the land and sea (rather than out of packets!). Before the agricultural revolution came along and added grains into our diet, humans were strong, lean and fit, we were a lot smarter, and we were all natural! When I speak about diets, it’s really a loose term. I hate the word “diet”, as it conjures up images of starving or restricting yourself from having certain foods, for short periods of time until a goal is achieved. I prefer to think of it as a “paleo lifestyle”, as fitness and exercise is also a very important factor, plus this is designed for a long-term approach. Our grain based diet over the past 10,000 years has led to our diminished capacity in many areas, including physical fitness and brain size. There is a great deal of scientific evidence to back this information up, and over the coming days, weeks and months, All EasyFood Recipes will continue to update you with some of this information, as well as some of the delicious recipes I’ve been cooking up at home. You see, I’m a chef, and taste is definitely important to me (not something you necessarily achieve in the average diet). Plus portion size can go out the window. If you do eat the right foods, you can actually eat as much as you want and still maintain an optimal weight level. For proof of that I only have to look at myself. My girlfriend often refers to me as a ‘garbage guts’, as I love to eat so much, but because I do eat the right kind of foods lately, last time I checked my weight I was down to only 69kg, and my body fat percentage is in single figures! The White House Garden For now, it’s important to know that eating fresh food is really the only way, not food out of packets, or food that has been highly processed or frozen. It might be more difficult to achieve, but it’s worth striving for. Even Michelle Obama has turned the White house garden into a vegetable patch to help get this message out there!

Eating Ethiopian Food In Perth

HealthyRecipes — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 04:06:15 +0000

It’s been quite a while since the last time I updated this food blog , and I recently took my girlfriend out for her birthday. We had a great night out and I decided that it would be an appropriate way to get back into blogging by starting off with how our night went and a bit of a restaurant review. African Food Emma Eating Ethiopian Food Recently Emma had gone to Africa for a month on holiday, and when I started thinking about places to take her out for her birthday, African food was the initial inspiration. I have not eaten a lot of African food, and Emma had raved about her adventures on safari and all the wild meats she had eaten whilst over there. Delicacies including ostrich, crocodile, warthog (her favourite) , camel, impala and cudu (a kind of antelope), were all mentioned with the kind of wide-eyed excitement that comes from eating wild game that the average Australian rarely has a chance to taste, let alone the inclination in many cases. While you may think that many of these game meats could be very tough and chewy, she was surprised that it’s not necessarily the case. Her description of the warthog was my favourite, “soft and tender meat stew that just melted in the mouth” , making me wish even more so that I could have joined her on this great adventure. Eating African Food In Perth Even though Perth isn’t particularly far away from Africa, in relation to the right of the world (a trip to Johannesburg is about the same distance as a trip to Melbourne) , African food isn’t really a common feature in Perth. Having said that, I was actually surprised by the number of options there really are, hidden away in dark little corners of suburbs.
