I am proud to claim my Danish Ancestery on my mother’s side. Having spent many years celebrating Danish Christmas in NZ, I was blown away when I not only spent Christmas in Denmark, but in over 1.25m of snow! One of my favourite Danish desserts is called; Rødgrød Med Fløde, or Red berry stew with cream….

Paleo Friendly Panna Cotta – 52 Weeks of Food
I don’t know about you but I have certainly noticed an increase in the number of people (yours truly included) that have developed an aversion to dairy products in the last ten years. And this can mean an unfortunate decline in desserts you can eat. While I was on my Paleo stint in 2013, I…
52 Weeks of Food and Redhead Root Vege Salad
So it’s been about six months since I was last here and man has it been a busy time! We welcome 2015 in the dS household as a slightly more relaxing one than our renovation packed 2014. We transformed our house from in Craig’s word a DUMP to a home. I’ve popped a few photos…
Thai Iced Tea – Paleo Style
I don’t know if anyone is as in love with Bubble tea as I am. Bubble tea or Milk tea or iced tea has become a bit of a craze in New Zealand. Originating in Taiwan, it is brewed by using black tea, green tea, oolong tea or european flavours like chocolate, caramel or grape….
Delicious 40 clove Garlic Chicken
First off, I have to give credit, this recipe is not mine but is from The Stuff I make my Husband blog. I have been amazed at how many delicious and easy to prepare slow cooker recipes there have been around. This was only my second attempt in our slow cooker and the results were,…
Nutastic Paleo Granola

I found this recipe on Paleo Cupboard, which is an awesome blog/website about all things Paleo and with a little adjustment I have…

Well Hello there, it’s been a while!
I have totally neglected my blog, after four months or so of religiously posting and updating it regularly I tucked it out of site like my favourite pair of boots after winter has finished. What can I say? Life happens. In amongst five thousand word essays, getting a new job and trying to find our…
Taking a step back and springing forward
Now that it’s been a week since the challenge ended and my last blog post. it’s time to “take a step back” and find out what last month’s cooking challenge meant to me. The biggest challenge really was finding the time for it. I decided to take on this challenge in sort of a transition…
Everything is Bigger in America; Day 29
I am sad to say the challenge is almost at it’s end. It’s been a journey that’s for sure! Taking the time to photograph and style the food every day has been a more major undertaking than I thought. I love making things look pretty, but my cooking time for these delicious dishes seems to…
