crispy Chicken

Who doesn’t love Crispy Chicken pieces? These are such a winner especially with the kids. In these ones I’ve used the same principle as I did for my Crispy Sardine Sprats to make these crispy chicken pieces gluten, dairy, egg and nut-free so they are VERY allergen friendly. Recipe Type: GF, DF, RSF, Paleo Serves 1 Time  30 min Ingredients: 1/4 C … Read More

I find making my own pastry time consuming and and pretty ‘hit-n-miss’. Pretty much all pastry also needs egg which doesn’t agree with me. Plus I’m all about whole foods where possible. So, getting creative in the kitchen, I just put together this quick and easy 2-minute paleo sausage roll the other week and it turned out pretty good! All … Read More
