Paleo Bluenose Recipe w Nutritional Info

This bluenose meal last night got me thinking. Food is everything.

Whether it is eating, growing, collecting, foraging, cooking, preparing, hunting & even buying. It is one of the fundamental things we do every day that connects us to other humans, to nature & to our source of creation.

This meal was largely gathered from the ocean (while soaking up some sunlight and fresh salty air) & garden at home, with a few other ingredients I can’t grow or gather myself right now thoughtfully purchased - then cooked with love for the 4 loved ones in my whare last night.

Once you start looking at what goodness is in behind each ingredient, you start to realise….we don’t need too much more… The result of each of these Vitamins, Minerals, Phytochemicals, Proteins and Fats is a regulated immune system, cardiovascular health, blood pressure. diabetes control and blood sugar management, better cognition, neurological health & mental wellbeing, anti cancer properties/antioxidants, skin benefits, kidney health, anti inflammatory, joint health, gut health, bone health, eyesight, anti ageing, and more….

This recipe follows a Paleo approach, so its good for you - but still jam packed full of flavour, and…..quick and easy!!!
