Vegetable Surprise Omelette

Saturdays are generally shopping day in our house, so there is usually very little left in the fridge for breakfast! So this mornings omelette surprise involved using up all the leftover vegetables - throw in a few eggs and voila! Paleo friendly breakfast!

Mine consisted of yellow peppers, red onion, a mushroom and leftover courgette.

Fried off in coconut oil until soft and I added 3 eggs and cooked until cooked through.
I flipped mine but you can also grill the top if you find that easier.

On the side I had half an avocado and 1 piece of bacon (thats all there was left!!)

Yummy and packed full of protein and good fats.
I need all the fat I can get today I have housework to catch up on and a girls night out planned tonight so soakage is very much needed!

Lunch will be leftover Butter Chicken from last night.

Lets hope there are Paleo friendly drinks and snacks tonight and my friends are non judgemental about my new lifestyle!!

Chat soon

Butter Chicken

I was dying to have some kind of curry for a change from the usual.



1 can coconut milk
1 red onion diced
3 tbsp coconut oil

6 boneless chicken thighs or 3 x skinless breasts cut into bite sized pieces.
½ tbsp crushed garlic
4 tbsp Kerrygold Butter (clarified) 
1 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp of medium curry powder (good quality, no added preservatives) 
3 tbsp tomato paste

Melt coconut oil in a pan.
Add chicken and brown. Remove from the pan.
Add garlic and onion and cook until onion is softened.
Add any other vegetable you may like now if desired.
Return chicken to pan and add the coconut milk and tomato paste.
Bring to a simmer and cover for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add butter and cook out for 2-3 minutes and serve! 

This was AMAZING! If you are an Indian fan I really recommend it.

I also added peppers and mushrooms at the same point as the chicken just because I had some to use up!

I served with cauliflower "rice" which can be made very easily by steaming cauliflower for 10 mins and then mashing with a potato masher to "rice" consistency.

My Amazing Takeout Salad

Since I had adopted this new eating lifestyle, one thing I have found very difficult to conquer is a finding a Paleo friendly takeout lunch that doesn't involve bread.

So today was a little victory for me when I discovered a cafe near my work does fab salads that are more exciting that the average lettuce leaves and tomatoes type thing I usually see.

Today I had a lovely smoked chicken, halumi cheese, avocado, walnut and mixed salad (including nettles!)

I was excited to have takeout lunch without the guilt!

(although the homemade bread had to be left after me, I just didn't want the temptation!)

I even took a picture!!
