My mum always used to make me some chicken soup when I was sick. I remember, she made it either with rice or noodles.
Well, my boyfriend is sick for a week now and he was craving chicken soup for the second time, so I decided to turn this one in my first blog-recipe.
This soup is paleo friendly, which means, no rice and no noodles included. You wonder how that's possible? Well, it is. Not only it is delicious, but also so easy and fast to make. And I am all about easy cooking, when it's hot outside. :)
You will need:
- 1 chicken
- 1 bunch of soup greens (carrots, leek, parsley, sellery)
- some vegetable broth
Now, take 2 litres of water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the vegetable broth (I added 4 tsp), the chicken and the soup greens and cook it on low to medium heat until the chicken is tender. It may take up to 45 minutes. Stir in occasionally. Ready!
Chickensoup blocks specific leukocytes, which can release inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane. It also contains healthy ingredients, such as vitamines, iron and zinc - good for the weak immune system. Just inhale the smell of it, because the steam moistens the mucous membrane.
End result: my boyfriend loved it. And that's a very good sign ;)
Until next time, stay warm.

Have you ever heard of bulletproof coffee? I didn't, until yesterday.
This i a spontaneous post, where I want to introduce you to this deliciousness!
Let me explain first, that I have been a huge coffee drinker for years. I drank up to 5 cups of coffee per day. I managed to reduce it to a minimum of 3. I knew that it was still too much, especially because coffee didn't have the effect on me as it should. Instead of getting more energy, I felt more tired.
It actually happened not long ago, that I didn't feel the need of drinking coffee anymore. I started with healthy nutrition and paleo and this also includes drinking less coffee (although it can be healthy when you drink it in moderate measurements - there will be another post on it too).
So in the end, I now drink up to 2 coffees A WEEK. My friends didn't believe this.
I don't want to give up on coffee for ever, so I was thrilled when I found this recipe on Pinterest. I tried it just few moments ago and now I'm sitting here, and sharing my discovery with you :)
Now for the ingredients, you will need:
- some coffee (obviously). Be sure you take a good, grounded one.
- filtered water
- 1 tsp of coconut oil
- 1 tsp of maple syrup
- 0,5 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of butter or ghee (I skipped the butter)
Make this coffee in a espresso maker. Put the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon and butter in a cup. When the coffee is ready, pour it in and stir. Ready! You won't be disappointed! And yes, there is no milk needed!
All in all, bulletproof coffee promises more energy and even weight-loss. But don't exaggerate! Drink it in moderation. Nothing is healthy when you overdo it.
Let me know, when you try it out! I'm curious about your opinion.

Hello friends...
this will be a simple online diary about my interests, which are beauty, health and cooking. I will share some cooking recipes with you, also some information about various foods and vitamines and for the fun part --> MAKE UP and skincare products!!!
I am not a professional dietitian, i just try to live healthy and give my body the nutritions he needs. I will write everything down here. All my information I get is from the internet. I will try to write my posts short and briefly, so it's easy to read.
Just for information, the diet i personally follow, is Paleo. It works AMAZING for me and I will continue following it. So mostly of my recipes will include Paleo meals :)
Also, as English is not my native language, please bare with me and forgive some grammar and phrasing mistakes.
I hope you will join me in this journey and accept my bubbly (sometimes weird) personality :)
xoxo Anna
