Grain Free Salmon Fish Cakes

BY CHRISTINA · SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

This is one of my quick go to meals for my family, when I haven’t been organised to get something out of the freezer for dinner or I have left over fish, from our favourite family meals of pan fried salmon. This is Full GAPS Friendly, and Paleo.

Ingredients

400 grams Canned or pre-cooked salmon (Remove Bones)

1 TB – Your Inspirations At Home  - Herb and Garlic

1 TB – Your Inspirations At Home - Dill and Onion

2 TB – Coconut flour

1/4 tsp – Salt

2 eggs

1/4 a cup of Peas

1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and let sit for 10 – 15 mins.  I use this time to make a salad, and Avocado Mash.

2. Using either your hands or spoons, shape batter into patties,  I make mine the size of a heaped Soup spoon.

3. Shallow fry in the coconut oil, butter or ghee.

4. Turn when browned on one side.

5. Serve and enjoy.

* Serves 5 – I doubt the recipe for my family.

** I have used YIAH Herbs, you can use fresh or dried herbs of your choice, these ones work great for us.

Warm Grain Free Muesli

Warm Grain Free Muesli 

Being on a Grain free or Gluten free diet can at times present with a lack of choices when it comes to breakfast! In the West we have become accustomed to eating cereals for breakfast, whether it be in the form of toast, packaged cereal, Oats, Muesli. etc.  

So making a change and taking grains out of your diet for good, or just a time means that you need to sometimes rethink breakfast. 

With a household of children that have in the past enjoyed those breakfast choices means that at times they get over having eggs, and the many different forms you can present them!  So here is my take on a grain free breakfast, served with a good dollop of home made yoghurt.

Recipe.

( Serves 6)

4 apples sliced
1 cup sultanas

1 cup peanuts
3 tsp of cinnamon
2 TB of Butter ( could also be coconut oil)
2 TB of coconut oil
1 TB of Honey.
Homemade yoghurt to serve.

Method 

1. Fry apples in butter and coconut oil until soft.
2. Add cinnamon to the pan. Stir well.
3. Add sultanas, peanuts, and honey to the pan, stir well and heating through.
                                                                                    4. Serve with some homemade Yoghurt.

 A really nice change this morning, and there was only licked clean bowls left over.
