My day on a (GAPS) plate

Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.

It’s been ages since I’ve done a GAPS update. I figured one was well overdue! I am up to stage 4 and have been since March 15.

I’m yet to introduce raw veggies and fruit. My body still freaks out if I so much as have too much fibre in the form of avocado, fermented veggies and cooked veggies so I don’t feel ready to introduce raw veggies yet. Thank goodness it’s winter and not really salad weather anyhow.

My Favourite GAPS Muffins

my fave

For those of you that didn’t catch it, on Friday I was interviewed by my gorgeous friend Jo from Quirky Cooking on her Podcast ‘A Quirky Journey’. During the show I mentioned my GAPS muffins a few times and actually gave away the recipe. It’s virtually the same as this recipe but made in muffin tins. I use the ‘If You Care’ brand because they aren’t bleached, don’t contain any chemicals and are good for the environment. In SA, Foodland sells them, but I’m sure if you just do a trusty Google search, you’ll find somewhere to purchase them online such as organics on a budget.

Not so stale about kale

3 Comments

It’s been way too long since we last caught up. I’ve just finished my first ever round of uni exams and have been spending every moment (apart from when I’m cooking, sleeping, running and working) studying because that’s what you have to do when you’ve got this much knowledge to consolidate (I’m stretching my arms out far and wide when I say ‘this much’) in this (I am now hovering my pointing finger a millimeter above my thumb) amount of time.
