Phase 2 begins tomorrow

The picture taking needs work, but my man’s yoga game is on point. Up dog/ down dog/warrior 1/warrior 3 transition, and he was still clinging on.

She’s got couches, pillows and dog beds galore – plus the two of us. Where does she choose to snooze? The littlest scrap of quilt available, on (one of her) nemesis: the cold, hard floor. Okay there, Freya – whatever makes you happy.

Sumac Chicken

This is a nicely spiced little weeknight chicken that goes perfectly with a side of roasted or fried potatoes.

gluten-free, paleo

Oops. I had no idea my Hipstamatic phone app was set to moody black & white when snapping the leftovers – picture a nice spice crust on a chicken breast with a dusting of lemon zest

Sumac Chicken

3 – 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp. sumac or lemon powder

2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. coriander

Zest of 1 lemon

Salt & pepper

Pat the chicken dry and dust liberally with the spices. Pat the spices in and hit with salt and pepper. Cook using your favorite method – I baked mine at 220C/375F for 15 minutes; this would be an awesome addition to flour for fried chicken.

I served mine alongside a semi-failed potato rosti (my potatoes didn’t form a cake, but who’s kidding – fried potatoes are always awesome).

Serves 3 – 4

Love it when he goes from utterly distraught to zonked out cuddles in seconds flat 🥰🐶
