Yesssss to cozying up on winter mornings whilst you nibble away on fluffy pancakes. You can hear a light rain, feel a slight chill but you also smell that cacao hit the butter in the pan and taste all things that could go right at breakfast time.
Life is good, you think to yourself and at 5-7 ingredients, reasonably simple.
You may spy a decant of peanut butter, not strictly paleo, but neither am I.✌🏼Why? I choose paleo 80% of the time, with an overriding theme (95%) of learning about food, how it affects me and making a logical, self-loving choice from there. Peanuts fortify me with copper, fats, protein, vitamins A,E and folate. 5% of the time I say yes to scones that friends made, pizza nights out and a superbly crafted glass of wine.
Live the good life in the real world. You are reading part 8 in the Winter Wellness Series.
