This cauliflower rice is ready in under 10 mins, uses regular, non-exotic ingredients (so probably won’t require any complicated shopping trips – handy at this time of year) and is (wait for it) gluten, dairy, nut, sugar, soy, egg, legume and starch free, suitable for paleo, GAPS, SCD, vegan, vegetarian and ketogenic diets to boot.

A GAPS update
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 since this post that I’ve done a GAPS update and I figured it was time for another one.
I’m half on full-GAPS, half stuck between stage 5/6.
GAPS Status: It’s complicated.
Sweet and Simple Green Coconut Smoothie
No rant today.
Behold potassium-rich, gut-loving, bowel-cleansing heaven in a glass. This is one of my favourite summer treats.
Rebecca’s broth
Last Thursday I was lucky enough to be cooked a delicious GAPS friendly meal by my friend Rebecca. She did a slow cooked beef roast with steamed veggies (cauliflower, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans) and roasted baby dutch carrots and butternut pumpkin. It was so special to be able to go somewhere for dinner and not have to take my own food. Thanks girl, I really appreciate it.
I Finally Made My Own Sauerkraut!
I’ve finally mustered up the confidence to make my own sauerkraut! I’ve heard scary things about fermenting your own cabbage – mainly that it can go very, very wrong and go off and smell all kinds of awful (like after your dad’s been to the bathroom – yep that kind of awful). But I figured if I can ferment my own cream then I can surely ferment some cabbage and I’ll never know until I try, right?
Thai green chicken soup
This soup is seriously good and a nice break from the regular appearances of pumpkin and cauliflower soup that tend to share the starring role in my kitchen. My mum (a non GAPS taste-tester I might add) had several soup-gasms whilst devouring this creamy bowl of yumminess.
My day on a (GAPS) plate

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.
Not so stale about kale
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.
Real Soup for Names Sake

I received feedback the other day from a reader saying that she got excited when she discovered this blog; assuming it was a website dedicated entirely to soup! She was disappointed when she realised that soup, -although having a starring role on this site – is not my sole focus. After all, a blog dedicated entirely to soup sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Maybe I should have thought of that.
I know I manage to weave bone broth and blended vegetable soups into nearly every post, making the name ‘real soup for the real soul’ deliciously appropriate, but it’s usually in relation to a bigger topic such as last-minute meal ideas or GAPS.
Today I’m honouring the name sake of this site with a post dedicated to the ultimate soul food; real soup!
