Merry Christmas everyone! This year I wanted to cook my #duck a bit different so I made it sort of #Frenchstyle with #oranges , but instead of baking it in the oven I made it #slowcooked and #pulled . At the end I roasted this pulled duck with #balsamicvinegar . Sauce was made with pureed #fruit (#oranges, #khaki, #apples that were slowcooking with the duck . Everything was served with sweet potato fries. Amazing! I think this is my new favourite Christmas duck receipt ❤😄

💜💜💜 Realfood ! Can you feel/taste/smel the difference of organic food and non organic ? I absolutely do! Apples, cucumbers and tomatoes especially smell and taste so much better and meat + dairy leaves me satiated for much longer. 💜💜💜 Today's dish is stuffed butternut squash! It has organic ground beef , red onions , tomatoes , bellpepper , corn , kidney beans, sour Cream , Butter and some gouda cheese. Don't realy have exact receipt because I usualy cook without measuring anything , but you can make it very easily! Simply preheat oven on 400F , cut butternut squash in half and take out seeds and the squishy stuff from around them 😄 cover the cut side with softened butter and bake for around an hour. In the meantime chop your veggies and sauce them in butter (except tomatoes), ghee or olive oil until soft , aďd ground beef , salt, pepper, cilantro, maybe smoked pepper or just red pepper flakes and other your favourite spices, some cream( few TBSP) , kidney beans, corn and chopped tomatoes and let everything simmer until tomatoes are soft. Add cheese and mix everything well. Scoup little bit of the longer part of butternut squash out and stuff it with your veggies and meat mixture. You can bake it for 15 more minutes or just eat like this. Serve bit sourceam (not nececerly though) Scooped out butternut squash you can use for desert or pie or even soup 😄 I am pretty sure you can easily veganise this dish and it will be still awesome 😉 💜💜💜 I am not realy on paleo diet or keto, but on real food diet. I buy veggies and Eggs from a farmer, fresh milk and cream from another, meat from third, free range organic meat, farm. If I could I would grow my own ! I make my own yoghurt , butter, ghee, saurcream and kefir or sour milk. And my dream is to rent or own a house where I could atleast keep chickens and bees 😄 but untill then I buy as much as I can organic, locally grown food. I try to stay away from sugary fruits , potatoes and grains

Day 13 of my water only fast and I'm loving it! I Feel amazing , my head is clear , I'm full of energy to the point where I do want to work out and not to mention all the money I'm saving up 😂 it helps that my husband is doing the same thing and even If I do need to cook for my mom, it's not every day. Anyhow I had few annoying moments with well meaning people about how I'm starving myself and how I will lose muscle mass and die. In some cases I just clench my teeth, thank them for the advice and leave, but sometimes it gets too much. I read studies and books and true reviews , I informed myself and know how wrong they are with their prejudices and opinions. Fasting is one of the most natural things for our bodies. Fasting while overweight is not dangerous until you have fat to feed your bodies needs. You absolutely do not need carbs to make glucose because your body can make it by itself and feed ketones to your brain, which is even better food for your brain then glucose. During fast you do not lose muscle mass and your metabolic rate does not drop (not like when you use diets). If prior to fast you were eating nutrient rich food you will not get vitamin deficit , but if you worked about that take electrolytes and multivitamin pill daily during fast. You do not get cranky and irritated during fast. Actually it's otherway around. I Feel more relaxed, smiling and laughing more often, sleep better and from time to time feel this euphoric feeling of lightness. The only bad days I'm having when all day I am surrounded by food and eating people (like yesterday at one of our airport stores). And yes I do miss the flavour and texture of food. Other than that fasting gets easier with time . My tip to everyone who want to try longer fasts - don't tell to anyone, but your family and very close friends that you are fasting. To everyone else - lie .

Home made, vegan, low carb , keto , no sugar Reese's peanut butter cups 😄💜 they are so delicious! And kind of healthy and Deffinetly guilt free 😄 Ingredients : 1 cup melted cocoa butter 1 cup raw cocoa powder 1 cup or less unscented raw coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder 4 teaspoons poudered erythritol sugar. (I powder it in coffee grinder) Some unsweetened peanut butter. It tastes like dark chocolate so if you want milk chocolate version you need some soy milk powder ( not meal or flour but milk powder) or add less cocoa powder. Melt coconut oil in water bath and melt sugar in it. Add cocoa butter and after it melts add rest of the ingredients, but the peanut butter. I used mini muffin paper forms for them. Use refrigerated peanut butter because its easier to work with. Add 1 teaspoon of chocolate to the muffin form and leave in cool place to get hard. Shape little ball of peanut butter , place them in the middle of the muffin form and press in slightly . Fill muffin form up with rest of the chocolate and freeze or refrigerate for it to get hard. That's it! ×××××× Most important health benefits of cocoa butter include its ability to improve skin health, boost the immune system, improve hair quality, prevent signs of aging, and reduce inflammation. Same with coconut oil or even peanut oil. But be aware that this chocolate though low carb is high fat and not suited for low calorie diet . It's perfect for lowcarbhighfat diet , keto, paleo and for everyone who wants to enjoy health benefits of those amazing oils in a very delicious way😄

Happy Easter to everyone ! Last year I made video about why organic eggs are beneficial for us, but it never seen the day of light... 😄 Anyhow always buy organic, freerange chicken eggs and colour it with plant based dye or onion peel 💚 I am not Vegan I am Flexitarian and I eat animal products on rare occasions, but chicken eggs I do appreciate and that's why : 1.Eggs are among the most nutritious foods on the planet. A single large boiled egg contains Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA. Folate: 5% of the RDD. Vitamin B5: 7% of the RDA. Vitamin B12: 9% of the RDA. Vitamin B2: 15% of the RDA. Phosphorus: 9% of the RDA. Selenium: 22% of the RDA. Eggs also contain decent amounts of Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium and Zinc. This is coming with 77 calories, 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats. 2.It is true that eggs are high in cholesterol.In fact, a single egg contains 212 mg, which is over half of the recommended daily intake of 300 mg. However… it’s important to keep in mind that cholesterol in the diet doesn’t necessarily raise cholesterol in the blood . The liver actually produces large amounts of cholesterol every single day. When we eat more eggs, the liver just produces less cholesterol instead, so it evens out.The response to egg consumption varies between individual . In 70% of people, eggs don’t raise cholesterol at all. In the other 30% (termed “hyper responders”), eggs can mildly raise Total and LDL cholesterol. However Eggs Raise HDL (The “Good”) Cholesterol. People who have higher levels of HDL usually have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and various health problems 3.Eggs Contain Choline. It is used to build cell membranes and has a role in producing signalling molecules in the brain, along with various other functions. Whole eggs are an excellent source of choline. A single egg contains more than 100 mg of this very important nutrient. 4.Eggs Contain Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Antioxidants That Have Major Benefits For Eye Health. Studies show that consuming adequate amounts of these nutrients can significantly reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. More👇

❤PICKLED CHILLIES❤ receipt in comments! Tell me if you ever ate chillies like that and do you like hot food. I usually don't like my food to hurt me so that's why I pickle them😂 after a 1-2 weeks pickeling chillies gets very mild and managable and the flavor is divine! I use it in salads, pizza, Mexican food and just chomp on them when the urge hits 😄 Chili peppers, despite their fiery hotness, are one of the very popular spices known for their impressive list of medicinal and health benefiting properties. Here are few of those : Chilies contain health benefiting alkaloid compound, capsaicin, which gives them strong spicy, pungent character. Early laboratory studies suggest that capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties. It also found to reduce LDL cholesterol levels in obese. Chilies have been in use in the treatment of arthritic pain, post-herpetic neuropathic pain, and sore muscles. Chilli peppers has a lot of vitamins and minerals and they also help protect your heart , lowers blood pressure, fights cancer, helps with migraine and helps burn fat/ lose weight .
