This is one of my favourite dishes - mostly because pesto is one of my absolute favourite foods. It wasn't always a dish my two younger children enjoyed.

This is a re-worked Thermomix recipe that I found for Sweet potato sausage rolls. But you absolutely don't need a thermomix to make these.

Modified Quirky Cooking Butter Chicken (Paleo, GAPS, Dairy and grain-free options)
I first tried a Pete Evans Paleo Butter Chicken recipe with my children about 4 years ago - although we were eating only wholefoods (primarily GAPS friendly) foods at the time, my children weren't overly keen. However, my husband and I absolutely loved it (spices are a delight after you have walked the long road of GAPS Intro) so I persevered, making it from time to time and pushing through the complaints at dinner time. At some point about 18 months ago the children started enjoying it and ... VIEW POST
