And top it off with berries and banana slices, etc. Kids love it!<br /><br />I also make little muffins with almond flour and egg - if you whip the egg whites separately, the muffins fluff up well, and if you add a little stevia or other sweetener, or a bit of banana or berries, they can be quite tasty.Jezwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649071387857019341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-34076677289125861412010-03-04T13:47:25.263+11:002010-03-04T13:47:25.263+11:00Thanks for the recipe!

Glad you like the blog - and glad my recent med muck-ups didn't scare a new reader off! :)<br /><br />I'm about to go back to all-meat also, since my body isn't loving being back on the Eades' Six Week Cure shakes. I sometimes include an egg per day, but no dairy. I can tolerate including dairy, but I thrive better without it I reckon. And now, with my ghee and my huge supply of tasty coconut oil, I will keep my meat moist using that - until I make more lard!<br /><br />Go the choc-cherry, I say - it could be a huge lats hurrah to fruit & nuts before you go all-meat! :DJezwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649071387857019341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-68230586046813253732010-03-04T01:20:06.018+11:002010-03-04T01:20:06.018+11:00Happy Birthday!!

You're such an inspiration for paleo\primal foodies! I can't wait to try out some of your recipes - I'm even thinking about going pure meat for awhile to see how I react to it - when you eat just meat, you eat eggs too, but do you eat cheese also? (Just checking a list of what I can do - your "usual" omelette looks amazing - so clever to make an omelette into something with topping (turned filling) and making it edible by hand!)<br /><br />My birthday is coming up at the end of march (I'm an -85 too), and I'm definetly trying out the choc-cherry tart, or pie or the cheesecake... lol dilemma! <br /><br />Thanks!Aeruynhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535188872448868786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-54315403387757114672010-03-03T13:03:27.548+11:002010-03-03T13:03:27.548+11:00You always post such gorgeous food pics.

I don't go out very often since I ...Hi Eileen,<br /><br />I don't go out very often since I don't like not knowing what kind of meat & fat they're using. When I do go out, I make sure to go to decent places where they serve grass-fed meats and allow for specific cooking instructions (i.e. cook with butter if I ask them to).<br /><br />I do get very frustrated when I go to a restaurant and EVERYTHING has somehow been garbage-ified and I have to pick around things or make so many special requests. This tends to make me grumpy and depressed since I think about all the other customers mindlessly inhaling the garbage, especially if it's expensive! <br /><br />Plus, I love cooking, so I have no reason to want to go out. If I don't feel like cooking, I go for a roast chicken from a place up the road that doesn't use stuffing. There might be some junk used when coating the chicken, but I can always peel off the skin if need be. Their coating is certainly far less sticky and non-chicken-tasting than other places!<br /><br />And if I go out somewhere and there's absolutely no option, I just don't eat. I just drink water. It's better than being depressed by my food and not enjoying it even if it makes my company feel weird. People who want to force you to eat just so they don't feel stupid/fat have their own issues - I say that I'm not hungry or I've already eaten, and if they're decent people they'll accept that. :)Jezwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649071387857019341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-6709688305196026572010-03-03T10:37:05.392+11:002010-03-03T10:37:05.392+11:00Haha, sorry Whitney!

Here's my basic cheesecake recipe, though I tend not to measure quantities these days:<br /><br />Crust:<br /><br />Almond flour & coconut flour - about a cup combined.<br />Chopped nuts - about half a cup<br />2 or so eggs<br />Coconut oil or melted butter - add enough until all ingredients stick together.<br /><br />Topping:<br /><br />500g softened cream cheese (18 oz)<br />250ml whipping cream<br />2T gelatin powder, dissolved in 1 cup boiling water.<br />1t vanilla essence<br />1t cinnamon powder<br />1/4t stevia<br /><br />Method:<br /><br />Preheat oven to moderate and grease/line a springform tray.<br /><br />Combine all crust ingredients and press into base of tray.<br /><br />Bake until crust is golden, then remove from oven and allow to cool completely.<br /><br />Mix topping ingredients with a stick blender until smooth. Pour over crust, and refrigerate until set. <br /><br />Top with extra whipped cream and fresh berries.<br /><br />Enjoy! :) Not totally primal, but better than most cakes!Jezwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649071387857019341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-81267568324791355582010-03-03T04:37:05.831+11:002010-03-03T04:37:05.831+11:00Thanks for sharing your efforts!

I look forward to seeing how you g...Thanks Shantel! I look forward to seeing how you go with the pie.<br /><br />Howdy Sandy! The diff between Primal and Paleo is the position of saturated fats - I don't buy into the whole "making neolithic lookalikes isn't paleo" bollocks, especially there are people in both camps who approve/disapprove of creating 'processed' products. Using coconut oil to fry things is a bloody good move, since so many paleos don't get nearly enough fat! I worry for their nutrient absorption.<br /><br />I use almond meal. If yours is too chunky, just blitz it further in the food processor. Or blanch your own almond and blitz them to make the flour (meal is generally defined as floured almonds that still have their skin). I used dessicated coconut for my shrimp, so that's even less fine-floury. Have you got a picture of your prawns somewhere so I can see what you mean?Jezwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649071387857019341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-67409961304101355262010-03-02T08:17:17.018+11:002010-03-02T08:17:17.018+11:00Ah, I never actually thought how awkward it was to...Ah, I never actually thought how awkward it was to separate coconut and then recombine it so it mimics fried food! Moments like that remind me that I'm often still Primal and not fully Paleo...<br /><br />Your popcorn shrimp look breadier than mine do. I think that's partly because of the almond flour and partly because... well... you can find almond flour. I echo the sentiment that here in anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better state of Texas, there's no such thing as almond flour. Only almond meal. Because it's bigger.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297218258560830869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168855552158312440.post-5582903556711836402010-03-02T08:14:52.686+11:002010-03-02T08:14:52.686+11:00Well happy belated birthday!!!
