Heidi

Heidi

Heidi

Aah – thank you! 😉
Well hopefully there’ll be an actual recipe book soon… {hint hint}

Heidi

Thanks Dawn!
It needn’t be stressful, just gather a bunch of girlfriends and give them some delicious food – dinner party sorted!
I must say, I tend to get really stressed if the dinner party involves whole families, as it can then be a hit chaotic and no matter how much effort you put in, it never seems well-planned or beautifully presented. I love kids {my own and my friends’} but dinner parties without them are better 😉

Hi Lisel, it’s a multipurpose dressing / brine / marinade that I use for many things.
It’s fab! When you’re in the recioe, you can just click on the Salmuera and it’ll take you to the recipe for it.

Hi Jess,

My favourite gadget by far! x

Hi Dee,

yes the 180 degrees is in Celcius – so it would be around 350 Fahrenheit for US peeps…

Hi Yasmin,

sorry to hear! It might be the avocado type, but it could also be the fact that avocado does get a slightly bitter taste when it’s heated, but not much.

You could try adding some more Parmesan and seasoning. Also, I’ve not tried it with lime – but I can’t think why that should make it bitter…

Hope it comes out better next time! x

Heidi

Hi Karina,

How have the meal plans been going for you so far?

Hi Jo,

yes it’s about 8×8. If you use 8×8 you’ll get out 2 pans, you can also use a larger size, but then you might only get 1 batch.

I know baking is quite scientific, but to be honest, with these brownies you can easily gauge things..

The batter should should be about an inch to 1.5 inches thick in the pan and then can bake for 20-25 minutes.
If it’s deeper than that, just add a couple more minutes.
Rather let it bake for too little and end up with more gooey brownies, than baking for too long and it’s dry…
I also find that when I use coconut flour, it bakes MUCH quicker – about 15minutes instead of 20…

Hope that helps! x

Hello Amanda!

I did the fast for 3 days, each day I had a regular coffee with dash of cream, as well as a bulletproof coffee for ‘breakfast’:
1 cup filter coffee + 1 tbsp. organic virgin coconut oil + 1 tsp salted butter and a dash of cream
{2 tbsp. cream in total for the morning coffees}

I would eat again at 11-ish, 14:00 or 15:00 and then ‘dinner’ by 18:00 – either of the following: {I mixed these up over the 3 days, so one day an egg might be in the morning, next day it might be lunch or dinner, etc. Each of these ‘meals’ would be about 200-250 calories and you would eat 4-5 ‘meals’ a day}
*1 small avocado with a tsp olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper
*30 g macadamia nuts
*1 boiled egg with 30 g mature cheddar OR mozzarella cheese + 1 tsp butter spread onto the egg halves
*broccoli soup made with cream, cream cheese and broccoli
*lettuce leaves with a slice of cheese
*scrambled egg with a tbsp. of chopped ham or chorizo, a tsp butter and small handful of grated cheese

I didn’t really eat any meat apart from the chorizo – protein came from the egg mostly.

You can and should have lots of water or black herbal teas in-between.
But honestly, you won’t get hungry.

Heidi

How did it turn out, Anza? Not sure if the balsamic will have the same effect, perhaps just leave out the wine completely…

Heidi

Hi Kim,

the ‘bread’ recipe is a specific microwave ‘mug’ recipe, I’ve never tried it in the oven.
You could give it a bash at 180C for about 10 minutes?

Hi Elmari,
if you choose to use dried cranberries, always opt for the unsweetened ones. Cranberries are a low carb alternative to raisins – but you can choose wether to use it or not.
For me, as it’s a lifestyle, I do eat it on occasion.
25g divided by 8 portions puts it at just over 3g of carbs per serving and if you do slightly bigger servings (6 servings), it comes in at just over 4g per serving – which is still low in carbs and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.

Hi Hannari,

Glad you liked it! x

Hi,
it’ll make about 18 tennis ball sized crisps…

Heidi Visser

Hi Johlette,

All together for 4 minutes..
🙂

Heidi Visser

Hi,
the temp is 180C / 350F and they start to crisp up as they cool down.

Heidi Visser

Not yet Laurie – let me know if you do and how it turns out?

Hi Yvonne,
Eks bly om te hoor!
Een suurlemoen sal genoeg wees.
Gebruik die sap van die hele suurlemoen en dan net een helfte saam in die pot – of jy kan oof die suurlemoen heeltemal uitlos en net die sap gebruik om mee te ‘season’…
Die suurlemoen breek net die vetterigheid van die lamsvleis.

Hi Michael!

Thanks – that’s awesome! I actually saw it on FB just now before I saw your message.
Glad you liked the recipe 😉

Heidi Visser

Hey Sue,
you can, but they might get a bit soggy…
I just kept them in an airtight container outside the fridge.
They will only stay fresh a day or 2.

Hi Cindy,

here are all the details of the fat fast and my experience with it: http://foodiegoesprimal.com/2016/03/30/top-tips-fat-fast/
In the article there are also a few links that will take you to some of the more science-y theories and info.

Hi Yvonne,

Ja, die oxtail het lekker baie tyd nodig om regtig sag te word. Jy kan die crockpot op ‘low’ sit.

Heidi Visser

Hello Thia!

Thanks for pointing that out! I recently updated the recipe {I used to put a bit of cauli mash inside the mixture, instead of bread} and missed that part… Oops! 🙂
You can try it with a spoonful of cauli mash in the mix, but I don’t find it necessary…

Thanks Adelle, glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
I normally do the fat fast for 3 days, every other month.
I’ll break up the day into 4 or 5 small ‘meals’, each consisting of 200-250 calories, 80% of that from fat.
A typical fat fast day would look something like this:
‘breakfast’ – bulletproof coffee
mid-morning – 1 boiled egg with a teaspoon of butter and a serving {30 g} of cheese
mid-afternoon – 1/2 an avocado with cream cheese and seasoning
snack – handful {30 g} macadamia nuts
early dinner – broccoli soup with cheese and cream cheese {small portion} OR a small salad of lettuce and avo and olive oil

You can really have anything provided you stay within the calories {+-1000 for the day} and that those calories come from fat mostly, so not too much protein and obviously the carbs should stay very low.

I just find it easier to stick to these ‘meals’ above – keep it simple…
