GAPS pizza

Hi guys! I have seen that I have not done any savoury recipes recently, so today I have found a really cool and yummy recipe for a GAPS pizza inspired by the heal your gut cookbook. Also if your dough is not doughy then don't loose hope in it I did but then when it was ready it was perfect so don't worry about it.

Dough

3/4 cup of coconut flour
1/2 cup of butter
6 eggs
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of pizza sauce with herbs
1/2 cup of shredded cheese of choice


Method
.
Preheat the oven to 180C and place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and use a handheld blender to mix it together until the mix has the consistency of a watery cake mix, lay a baking tray on a bench and lay some parchment paper on it and cut two pieces the same size as the tray leave one piece of paper on the bench and put the other on the tray, pour the mix on to the paper and use the back of a spoon spread it around the paper. Put in the oven for 10 minutes and then take it out of the oven, put the other piece of parchment paper on top of the pizza and then hold the ends of each side and flip it over then take the top piece off the pizza cook for another 10-5 minutes. Once cooked add the pizza sauce and cheese and cook for 5 more minutes and then let it cool and your ready to eat it!

My Life On GAPS

Hello everyone! today I will be writing about my life on GAPS.
To start off with all kids when they start GAPS will very likely be annoyed at not being able to have sugar I myself didnt enjoy GAPS when we first started but then I learned that there is so many wonderful and creative things that you can make on GAPS. At the beginning of GAPS children will often think "why do I have to sit and watch others eat sugar" as I fist did, but when you look closer their bodies will soon change and their longing for will sugar too. Birthday parties, all kids want sugar on their birthday parties and on GAPS they wont be able to and now that I look closer into it children can have nice foods on their birthdays and I had very nice birthday barbecue at the park for my birthday without sugar, the truth about sugar is that lots of people see how it effects people and makes them want more so of course marketing decided that if they put sugar in everything people will buy more of them increasing their want for it I learnt in a talk that even fruit will make you feel that way the person who strives to help people overcome their love of sugar is Dr Gary Fettke if you would like to follow him on Facebook here is the link
