Hi everyone! I know it’s been ages since I’ve posted my ‘weekly highlights’ so really it’s a bit silly to call them ‘weekly,’ but I’m aiming to get back to having a regular catch-ups with you all again, so here I am. After a busy week of homeschooling, cooking, writing, driving, cooking, cleaning, packing, cooking and, um, cooking, I need some down time. And besides, I have some goodies to give away, so keep reading!

Update! My book has gone off to the printers (just one more month to wait now!), but the recipe developing continues, as per usual… (Um, yeah, my recipes are a little hard to understand sometimes, especially when I’m testing them over and over. Might be time to write this one out again. Lol!) 

My big news – just in case any of you missed it! (I couldn’t keep it in and had to blab all over Facebook and Instagram.) We’re moving house! Yes, in less than two weeks’ time I’m going to have my very own house with a big, bright, open kitchen! And a dishwasher. And a double sink. Yeehaaaa!!

 I have great plans for this kitchen. At the moment it’s a bit bare and modern, but it will soon be ‘quirkified’ and homey, and ready for… da duh daaaa… Quirky Cooking Classes!! Anyone want to come have a one on one cooking class? Come on, it’ll be fun! (You MAY have to dodge nerf bullets and will almost certainly be a guinea pig for my latest creations, but if you’re brave enough to come despite that, you will be most welcome.) More details on that to come!  

Beware the nerf guns… (Yep, just a normal day in the Whitton household. I think I’m outnumbered.)

Hot cross buns - Quirky Cooking
 

The most popular post on my blog this week was my new Gluten free, dairy free hot cross buns recipe – 30,500 views in 6 days! And yes, they are definitely worth making, so if you haven’t tried them, get onto it soon, so you’ll be all set for Easter. 

 The most popular posts on my Facebook page this week were:

– Healthy snacks while at uni, and sitting for hours in front of a computer

– Comments on my ‘insanely delicious’ barbeque sauce, that you really should make before plum season finishes

– Thermomix websites and FB pages for recipes that are free from egg, milk, wheat and soy

– Easy dinner ideas, and Meatball, bean and kale soup

– How to make a grain free version of my Sticky pecan muffins

– Recipes for grain free pizza bases

– And this absolutely amazing Raw Salted Caramel & Almond Cake!

Ok, so now you’re all up to date with what’s been going on, how about a giveaway!

 Happy Tummies Baking Pack Giveaway…

As you all know, I LOVE to bake healthy, allergy-friendly goodies. Happy Tummies is an online store that specialises in allergy-free ingredients, cookbooks and all sorts of kitchenware, and they have offered a baking pack for you to win! Check it out… 

 

What’s in the pack?

Quinoa flour (623g): Quinoa flour is one of the highest protein flours, and is great in gluten free cooking. You can use it in recipes like Quinoa & Chia Seed Flatbread, or Banana & Raspberry Muffins. (Instead of milling the quinoa seeds, add the same weight of quinoa flour.) Tip: I find with quinoa flour it’s best to keep it to a quarter or less of the overall amount in a gluten free mix.

Rice malt syrup (500g): A low fructose sweetener that you can use in place of sugar or honey in recipes. See my Sugar Substitutes page for tips on how to use rice malt syrup.

 If You Care Baking Cups (3 packs – mini, large and jumbo): This range of baking papers and baking cups are what I prefer to use, as they are non-toxic and very high quality. Most baking papers are coated with Quilon, which contains heavy metals like chromium, which can be toxic when incinerated. If You Care papers use silicone derived from a natural element, and they also don’t contain chlorine, so no bleach in the waterways. Aside from that, they just work better! Muffins don’t stick to them, and I find the baking paper can usually be wiped down and reused. Love it. 

Loving Earth Raw Cacao Powder (500g): My favourite cacao powder – raw, unadulterated, no additives, and completely delicious! I would love to share my new chocolate cake recipe with you, as I use this cacao powder to make it, but it’s for a special project, so how about making some raw chocolate instead! You’ll also need…

 Loving Earth Raw Cacao Butter (500g): This is the fat from the cacao beans, and is the key ingredient in good chocolate. Loving Earth is my favourite brand, and you’ll understand why when you use it – it’s so creamy and the smell is divine! See my recipe for raw chocolate above.

Heilala Vanilla (100ml): Made from organic vanilla beans from Tonga, this vanilla is amazing. Another important ingredient in raw chocolate, or try adding it to Creamy Coconut Vanilla Rice Pudding.

Banaban Coconut Milk (400g) and Coconut Cream (400g): I use a lot of coconut milk and cream in my cooking – coconut is one of nature’s superfoods. For a delicious, dairy free treat, try Dairy Free Condensed Milk or Dulce de Leche using coconut cream, or Quick Egg Curry with Quinoa which is made with coconut milk.

Rapadura Sugar (500g): Rapadura is simply dehydrated sugar cane juice – a much more natural product than refined sugars, and still contains the minerals and vitamins found in sugar cane. The flavour is a lot like brown sugar. Use it in place of sugar in any recipe (1:1). See this article for more info on Rapadura.

Banaban Organic Coconut Sugar (500g): Coconut sugar is made from the dehydrated nectar from coconut blossoms. It is a very environmentally friendly sugar, and is low GI (approx. 35). The flavour is somewhere between raw sugar and rapadura – delicious. Use it in any recipe in place of sugar (1:1) or Rapadura. I love it in Coconut Caramel Custard. Note: This brand of coconut sugar can be ground up in the Thermomix on speed 9, to make a very fine icing sugar, perfect for using in icings or to sweeten pavlovas.

Banaban Organic Coconut Flour (500g): Coconut flour is made from the dried coconut pulp after making coconut milk. It is very high in fibre, and is suitable for a grain free diet. Gooey Flourless Fudge Brownies are made with coconut flour – if you haven’t tried them, you need to!

Banana flour: This flour is made here on the Atherton Tablelands, where I live! It is another great option for those who are trying to minimize grains in their diet, and is a nutritious source of resistant starch. Rob and Krista of Mt Uncle have developed many recipes with their banana flour, and are happy to share their recipe for ‘Paleo Pancakes’ with us! 

Paleo Pancakes

Thanks to Mt Uncle’s Banana Flour for this recipe. Visit their Facebook page for more recipes, tips and info.

Note: You can find fine sea salt and vanilla powder for this recipe in my online store!

    Hi Jo,

    I’m looking for a gluten free egg free nut free pikelet/pancake recipe. I’m thinking making three chia eggs with banana flour may not work. Do you have any other suggestions? Is psyllium husk an option? I’m sick of failed attempts!

    I’m a new thermomix owner but have been following you for some time. So excited to finally have my thermomix so I can follow your recipes without much thought instead of changing them.

      Oh dairy free and rice free too. I generally use coconut flour, banana flour, buckwheat and tapioca or arrowroot. My daughter has an egg intolerence (amongst many other things!)

    These pancakes were awesome! I am living in Peru and have access to plenty of banana flour, so I was excited to try using it and the pancakes turned out light and fluffy. The only change I made was I added a mashed banana and some cinnamon to the mix. Thanks!

{Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too ea {Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too early to start thinking of treats for the weekend, is it? 😄 Citrus is in abundance right now, so if you’re like me and have ruby red grapefruits piled up on your bench top, you should definitely try this pie. It’s arguably my favourite recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook and I will shout its praises every citrus season til my dying day!!

Grapefruit pie is a local favourite in South Texas (USA) and in ruby red grapefruit season you’ll find it served at
little roadside barbecue joints where they guard the recipe closely! I only know about it because my parents are Texan and lived in South Texas for years… but this recipe is way too good to hide away. The pie's crunchy crust holds big, juicy sections of ruby red grapefruit set in a sweet citrus jelly, and it's not bitter, because the grapefruit pith is removed. 

Some versions have a layer of cream cheese spread over the pastry under the grapefruit and jelly, to protect the crust from getting soggy, and this also acts as a creamy foil to the tangy fruit and crunchy crust. I love it best this way - I use cream cheese or labne, or I make cashew cream cheese for a dairy-free version. The traditional accompaniment is a big dollop of fresh whipped cream (which is always sweetened in Texas, but I prefer it unsweetened), or use coconut cream if you’re avoiding dairy. And don't panic filleting the grapefruit - once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. And if your pieces turn out a little mangled and messy, don't worry, it will taste just as amazing!

You can find the recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook* or app AND I’ll be making this recipe and sharing it on my next podcast video THIS FRIDAY  on my citrus episode, so keep an eye out for that! (Subscribe to my newsletter to get all the latest videos as they are released - link in bio.)

{Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we {Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we made these little cheesy-eggy grain-free pastries, so here you go!

- Make a batch of Grain-Free Dough (recipe in Life-Changing Food, or buy the pastry premade from Primal Alternative, or you can use the Almond Meal Pastry on my blog)
- Mix together 300-400g quark (or mashed feta) and 4-5 eggs (whisked)
- Roughly chop some flat-leaf parsley, chives and mint (and finely chopped onion if you like), add zest of 1 lemon and mix through egg mixture, then season with salt and pepper
- flatten a circle of dough in your hands (about 10cm diameter and about 5mm thick) and shape into fatayer (like a little boat), then set onto lined baking trays
- fill fatayer with egg mixture
- bake in 200C oven for 15-20 mins or until pastry is browned and mixture has set firm

I keep these in the fridge/freezer and warm them up for a quick breakfast or lunch!

Thank a farmer for your next meal! ❤️ (Also, S Thank a farmer for your next meal! ❤️ (Also, Simi can do his own washing today 😂😂)

(Simi works on an organic farm and often brings home goodies like these beautiful daikon radish, which we fermented with chilli and garlic! So good - they stay quite crisp and make a great condiment to serve with dinner.)

Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my stories (let me know if you missed them and want me to re-share), and one of the questions I had afterwards was this one ⬆️ - “Can you share ‘What we ate this week’ day in the life style? And what is made fresh, prepared ahead, and from the freezer”. 

Why not, I said! So I’ve been taking photos of my food even more than usual 😂 like a photographic food diary, and it’s sometimes boring and sometimes delicious and sometimes weird, but you’re welcome to follow along if you like!! 😁

Today’s “day on a plate” in pictures: 

Breakfast: herb & cheese fatayer (grain-free pastry from Life-Changing Food filled with a mixture of quark, eggs, herbs and lemon zest - will share recipe in another post) - made yesterday and stored in fridge/freezer, heated in grill and eaten on the run with coffee 😁

Lunch: savoury mince from Simple, Healing Food (made yesterday, with a lot of cabbage added because we needed to use it 😄), fermented daikon radish (grown on the organic farm where Simi works), and Camembert cheese (made at a local dairy)

Snacks: Peanut butter chocolate fudge 😁 recipe on the blog ❤️ (and tea)

Dinner: Broccoli & cauliflower bake (from Simple, Healing Food except with cheese on top rather than macadamia “cheese” - prepared yesterday, stored in fridge then baked in oven tonight), steak & veggies - kids had fish instead of steak … I made lots as the leftovers are for work lunches tomorrow 😊

Before bed: probably another cuppa tbh but last night was beet kvass - I don’t think I’ll do that again right before bed though, it was a bit too strong before bed 😄

I don’t know if any of this will be at all helpful, but I guess it will show that I’m not always perfect and I don’t always stick to my meal plan and my food isn’t always “instagrammable” 😄 and that’s ok! 🤗 

PS My meal plan for the week is at the end - links are in my newsletter sent out on Monday. ❤️

I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I decided it was much more important to drive down the mountain and spend the day eating good food and drinking amazing local coffee with our dear friends visiting from Melbourne. 😍❤️ Have you heard of the 5 years rule? In 5 years time, no one is going to remember the housework didn’t get done today, the newsletter didn’t get written, the washing didn’t get put away, or the dinner was very basic. But we WILL remember this beautiful day spent with family and friends. ❤️
