*Caveat on using the term “recycled gold”:
While I am very careful to source my precious metals only from SCS® certified suppliers (SCS® stands for Supply Chain Sustainability; they are the global leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification). Most of my precious metals suppliers are also members of the Responsible Jewellery Council. However, I want to point out that ‘recycling gold' is not what is commonly understood by the term.
True recycling avoids things ending up in landfills. Gold, of course, wouldn’t.
Instead, gold is simply melted, refined and repurposed.
Although SCS® certified refineries must maintain auditable records of their suppliers, there are loopholes globally which make it very easy for gold from unregulated and/or illegal sources to enter their supply chain.
This makes even 'certified recycled' gold untraceable.

Well Hello there! Gotta look after yourself during this time of COVID-19. Part of how I do this by making lots of delicious nutritious tasty things. Grain-free, low-carb, gluten-free, paleo, yadayada … it’s simply how I eat! It’s been my ‘normal’ for a few years now.

Sometimes I post these things on social media, and recently I have had some requests to share recipes, so here we are!
First, my seedless crackers. I would admit that I am still working out the kinks on this one, but hey, they are pretty good as is. The important thing to know is that they need time: the seeds need time to soak up water and come to life. Give them a try!

Some may think of that last recipe as birdseed, so i’ll give you a couple of more fun ones.
As I am posting this on Easter and during Passover, I realized that it actually not only fits my diet, but the restrictions for that holiday, as well!
This is one of my staples, for sure. I love how moist the cake turns out, but most of all, how easy it is!
INGREDIENTS
* you can make your own by pulsing eight ounces of blanched almonds in a food processor (add one tablespoon of the sugar to avoid making almond butter)
INSTRUCTIONS
Ok folks, once more! Another one of my favourites – I swear I make this cake at least once a month, and certainly for any nut-positive pot-luck situation. Personally, I would use a zero-calorie erythritol & monkfruit sweetener, since I no longer do any type of sugar at all. But the honey version is a great first step.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
400 ml (13.5 ounce ) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup honey
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Enjoy!!
