Kalte Schnauze or Groom’s cake, make it Paleo style – No sugar! use Stevia

by Marie Mann1 Comment
This very rich chocolate coconut fat cake used to be my sisters favourite when we were little, I used to think it's super dangerous on the waist line. Not anymore! My birthday was up, the big 30, me being Paleo required some birthday cake planning. I remembered that the Kalte Schnautze cake  was a fat laden concoction mainly made with coconut fat, brilliant that works with Paleo I thought and dug out the recipe exchanged ingredients and got to work.  No need to break good paleo habits on a birthday! The cake has no gluten or sugar, I don't see why I would make myself ill on my birthday when I am celebrating a long and happy life. A little bit of background on this very strange cake. The cake seems to be popular in many cultures, probably because it is so easy. You can find it under the name of: Lukullus, Kalte Pracht, Kekstorte, Kalte Torte, Kalte Schnauze, Schwarzer Peter, Kalter Igel, Wandsbeker Speck oder Kellerkuchen. In Italy, they have a  similar...

Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

by Marie MannNo Comments
Zesty, refreshing lactose free lime coconut manna truffles with cocoa butter. Nice recipe I mixed up with all ingredients I like  a lot, especially the coconut manna/ butter is so delicious I wanted to use it in combination instead of just spooning it out of the glass. The Lime coconut truffles are suitable for Paleo and Vegetarian as well as people with Lactose intolerance - really a great sweet for everyone. The recipe is very simple too, so kid’s can help; they will love getting their fingers sticky when forming the little zesty truffle balls. I like to use re-usable silicon cases to avoid wasting paper or packaging. We are also ticking the blood sugar friendliness box too with the help of the all natural stevia-sweet extract powder or liquid. Make it with Coconut oil, fresh egg yolks and sweeten it up with all natural stevia-sweet extract. I think next time I will use fresh orange juice to make these, its bound to work well.   Makes:  10 little balls Prep time: 10 min Forming the balls:  10-15min   You need: 50g coconut...

Butter-free Buttercream with Coconut oil and Stevia

Butter-free Buttercream with Coconut oil and Stevia

Great all round cake decorating cream, change the flavouring to suit the occasion. This Butter-free Buttercream is Paleo and Lactose intolerance diet friendly. Use it for gateaux or cupcakes, spread it on tray bakes or just spoon it out of the cup. I am using  the mayonaise/ butter cream approach to create this stevia sweetened sugar free creamy dream which will keep you blood sugar levels steady with its  low Carb / No Carb make up. Check out this great  blog post by Mark Sisson on why controlling the carbohydrates/ sugar intake could help you stay healthy and why it is so important to keep the blood sugar levels steady to avoid giving yourself  Type 2 diabetes. Now I should probably also calm you down on the large amount of fat that goes into this recipe, it is good fat! Coconut oil is highly beneficial, I have lots of it every day and I am staying the same, what makes me explode is Carbs, Fat can make you happy and calm. Listen to...

Gluten free high fiber breakfast PANCAKES with stevia

Gluten free high fiber breakfast PANCAKES with stevia

by Marie MannNo Comments
Alternative sweet breakfast for everyone following a low carb diet that can not face a savory paleo breakfast. As I mentioned in my previous post, - a long time ago, sorry I was so busy there was not time for posting - I am eating as low carb paleo inspired as possible to avoid triggering inflammatory processes in my joints. I used to love porridge in the morning, when I found out I'd best stop having grains I started panicking a bit! What was I supposed to have instead? Meat for breakfast? Eggs every day? My happy medium is to have pancakes with a variety of flavours and organic yoghurt or quark. I know the serious paleos out there will say, there was no dairy in a cave man's diet. I like dairy and do not seem to have any adverse reactions to it, so I like to keep it in my menues. Yes, it does take a little bit of time in the morning to prepare the pancakes, around 20...

No added sugar, gluten free – Traditional British Christmas Pudding for ONE with Stevia

No added sugar, gluten free – Traditional British Christmas Pudding for ONE with Stevia

by Marie Mann2 Comments
  It's not too late, this delicious traditional british Christmas pudding  does not have to be made months in advance, make it last minute.  No ripening needed. Have you recently established a new way of  healthy natural eating? Maybe you have gone Paleo or you are following a metabolic type specific diet - you don't need to dread the Christmas feasting  and having to restrain yourself or explain to others why you don't want to have this or that.  Just take a little time to prepare a few treats yourself and let others try the delicious treats with you! They won't even know that they are sugar and gluten free. They just tell you how Yum it is. I don't see why we should break with our clean eating habits that make us feel good for Christmas, setting back all the healing the body has been able to do so far. Just take a minute to remember how bad you felt eating the refined packaged food; do you...
