Three Meat Raspberry Chili (Paleo, GAPS, SCD, Whole 30)

Hi friends! I made it back safe and sound from Florida. A little more tanned, with a few more freckles and a little blonder than I was 2 weeks ago. I went for lots of runs on the beach, played a lot of tennis, read a lot of books and of course, did a little shopping. It was amazing!

One of my favourite things to do on vacation is read. Honestly, I could spend weeks reading next to the pool or at the beach. I think I read six books on this trip. Some much better than others of course. My favourites were “A Prayer For Owen Meany” by John Irving and “The House Girl” by Tara Conklin. Has anyone else read these ones? What did you think? John Irving is by far my favourite author. I have loved every book of his that I’ve read (and I think I’ve read basically all of them now). His writing is just so smart, and his story development is simply genius. I also stocked up on a few real food items that are hard for me to get at home. Like my favourite brand of grassfed gelatin, Vital proteins, and Kerrygold grassfed butter.

If you follow me on instagram (and if you don’t, you should), you would have seen some of these photos from my trip, but for the rest of you, here is a little preview of what my holiday looked like. Simply put, heavenly!

Now that I’m back to the real world it’s back to things like homework and meal planning. I get questions from readers all the time about how to make eating a whole foods/paleo diet easier. One of the easiest ways is batch cooking. I often make a huge batch of one or two dishes on the weekend that then carry me through my busy weeks. And this Three Meat Raspberry Chili is one of those recipes that is great for batch cooking. You will get many meals out of this one I promise. Plus it’s filled with so many nourishing ingredients like chicken liver, grassfed beef, coconut milk and lots of vegetables! Plus the unusual addition of raspberries. Trust me they work well in this recipe. Really well. You’ll just have to try it to find out. And as you may remember from my post a few weeks back, I’m trying to get more liver in my diet, so this recipe is a great way to do that. And if you missed it, here is my post all about the health benefits of liver, and why you should be eating it too!
