My super yummy and easy chicken tortilla soup - es muy delicioso (it’s very tasty). The purists will have to forgive me but as this is a paleo friendly dish, the tortillas no están incluidos! Also, I’ve gone on my own adventure when playing with the traditional recipes so this is another Irey’s special.  I cooked it while listening to this wonderful tune - Epic by Calexico.

Recipecan be found here. 

Blueberry lemon puffed omelette from Gourmand in The Kitchen. Who said omelettes have to be savoury? This is sweet take on the traditional savoury omelette. It’s puffy and soufflé-like, sweetened with raw honey and topped with juicy blueberries. I like it as an alternative to pancakes.

Jalapeño Coconut Bread With Chipotle Butter

This recipe is inspired by a jalapeño corn bread and chipotle butter I tried at a restaurant in London called Caravan. The original version is essentially a fancy corn bread spiced up with chopped up pickled jalapeños and coriander and served toasted and smothered with chipotle butter. I don’t know what the recipe actually is but I loved it so much that I decided to try and create a paleo version without the corn flour.

Not only did I replace the corn flour and other less than ideal ingredients with paleo friendly substitutes, but I also managed to sneak in some healthy grated carrot, which gives it a nice colour and sweetness.

“My tail alone could tell you tales

It’s got a life all of its own

Watch it move just like a sail

Sail you to the twilight zone

I love to lap a spot of cream

And I assure you that I’m neat

But you never know what you can expect

When the pussy is in heat”
