I’ve been sharing easy recipes on this blog since 2011 and over that time I’ve moved through The GAPS Diet, The Keto Diet, a Vegetarian Diet and, most recently, The AIP Diet. On this blog you'll find easy to follow recipes with as few ingredients and steps as possible to create tasty final dishes.

Today’s Beetroot and Lamb Burgers couldn’t be further from yesterday’s Beetroot Recipe of a Meatless Beetroot, Coconut and Tofu Risotto. Vegetarians – sorry, it’s best you look away now!

Zucchini Hash Browns

Mr 3 has been going through a Hash Brown phase, so I thought I’d experiment with mixing some Zucchini in to make them a little healthier.
