A delicious sweet loaf. Grain free Pear and Raspberry loaf!

Grain free pear and raspberry bread.


Yummy! 

1 cup of desiccated coconut
1 cup of almond flour and 1 tablespoon
1/4 cup of arrowroot flour ( tapioca flour)
4 tsp baking powder 
2 tablespoons LSA mix
3 eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/3 cup of b grade Maple syrup 
Cinnamon ground to taste
1 ripe but not over ripe pear ( grated)
1 cup frozen raspberries

Pre heat the oven to 220c. 
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. 
 Add eggs, oil, maple syrup and grate pear into the mixture.  
Add raspberries last and fold in. 
Pour mixture in to a lined loaf tin.  Dribble a little extra maple syrup over to glaze.
Turn oven down to 200c . Put in the oven. 
 Cook for 35 mins then bump heat back up to 230c. Once the loaf is firm and brown ( about 10mins) remove and allow to cool in the pan for 25mins.

Why hello there little blog!

Well it has been a long time since we posted on here. But soooo much has even going on. As you can see by the last post on here by ' Sa ' she is back in Canadian territory. I'm still down under, doing my thing. Since my last post lots has happened. I have changed from working part time to working full time as a store manager, as well as being a full time mum and wife. It has been a bit of an adjustment, but we are getting on pretty ok. My fitness dropped off a bit in the adjustment to working full time, but I still have managed to achieve many of my fitness goals.

* August 2012 - I ran my first ever 10k race. It wasn't fast but I did it. 1:08:55 was my time. And I was pretty stoked to have completed it so strongly. Having never actually run that distance before.

* January 2013 - I rocked up for my 3rd Australia Day fun run and knocked almost 8 minutes off my time from last year! I was pretty damn happy about that. It was odd though running it without Melissa though.

March 2013 - I competed in the Magnetic island "dirty weekend", Adventurethon.
( http://www.adventurethon.com.au ) I competed in the " Taste of adventurethon" which involved a 1 k kayak ( I had to learn how to kayak! ) a 10k bike ride and a 2.4 k " run". I had an amazing time, a few hic ups but I finished in exactly the time I was hoping for. 1:44:35. (I wanted less then 1:45:00) I had some bike related technical issues. Lol but I will be back next year to better my time!

I'm hoping to compete in another upcoming adventerthon event in July. The national challenge.
Really need to get my bum into gear for that one! And repeat my 10k event in August.

My diet has changed somewhat too. I have take to primal eating and have really noticed a difference in myself from this. Grains and processed foods haven't place in my diet anymore. I have definitely noticed the difference. I'm planing to blog more often. I want to share and journal my primal fitness journey...

So little blog...I'm back.:) no excuses.
