Raspberry Tea Cake

By: Susan Joy

This is a delicious moist tea cake. It’s not too sweet and has a hint of cinnamon and ginger. It’s so quick to whip up and has a lovely light and soft texture, not dense like a lot of paleo cakes. It’s the perfect cake for an afternoon tea party and is also yummy served warm with dairy-free cream.

Dinner Tonight: Teriyaki Chicken

By: Susan Joy

Teriyaki Chicken is a simple and delicious dinner that’s cooked in minutes. It also makes a wonderful finger food for parties, just add a toothpick to each piece of chicken. Teriyaki sauce originated in Japan, the name refers to the shine or lustre the sauce has. The very high sugar content in regular Teriyaki dishes produces the shine. I’m happy to say I’ve been able to create a delicious sauce/marinade containing no refined sugars or soy sauce. I’ve used organic coconut aminos in place of soy sauce. Soy has isoflavones which can raise estrogen and decrease testosterone.

Cherry and Coconut Muffins

By: Susan Joy

These delicious, easy cherry and coconut muffins are moist and soft with a light almond flavour. I’ve made them with fresh cherries but frozen whole cherries can be used. The muffins were my hubby’s idea after we were gifted a large box of fresh local cherries. I know he was pleased with what I created as I found the empty container.

Christmas Snowballs

By: Susan Joy

These snowballs are a quick and easy festive treat. I’ve used cacao butter with just a little coconut oil to give a delicious white-fudge flavour. Maple syrup or honey can be used as the sweetener but my preference is 100% maple syrup as honey can tend to overpower other flavours. The cacao butter will help hold your snowballs together during our warm Aussie Christmas but it’s still best to serve them straight from the fridge.

Butternut and Ginger Soup

By: Susan Joy

I love this soup recipe because it’s so quick and simple to make. The spice ginger has an exotic, peppery flavour which goes so well with mild flavoured butternut pumpkin, giving the soup a little kick. Ginger root is known for its therapeutic properties since ancient times, its powerful compounds called phenols have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
