Inspiration: The simpliest cake
A 300ml tub of thickened cream is the key! You just use the tub to measure out the other ingredients:
1 (300ml/10 oz) tub of thickened cream
2 tubs of sugar
3 tubs of SR flour
4 eggs
1 (300ml/10 oz) tub of thickened cream
2 tubs of sugar
3 tubs of SR flour
4 eggs
Wizz it all up in your mixer, it will make a large amount of quite a thick batter. Pour into a greased cake tin (2 regular sized ones or one roasting size tray)
In the oven at 180 ℃ (350℉). The time will depend on the size and shape of the tin, maybe 30-45 min or until a skewer comes out clean.

Paleo Banana Bread – No Grains, No Added Sugar
Ingredients
- 4 very ripe bananas*, mashed
- ⅓ cup coconut oil (Find HERE), or butter, melted
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup coconut flour (Find HERE) *you must use coconut flour – using another flour will not work!
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- optional add-ins: ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (I like THESE because they are dairy and soy free), walnuts, pecans, slivered almonds, raisins, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Throw everything together in a medium bowl and mix until combined.
- Pour into a lightly greased (use coconut oil or butter for greasing) bread pan.
- Bake for about 45 – 60 minutes or until center is set and top is golden. Enjoy!
*Your bananas should be extremely brown, almost to the point when you would throw them away or freeze them. If they are not overly ripe, your bread will not be as sweet and probably not taste as good. If you are using non-ripe bananas, you should add about a ⅓ cup of maple syrup to the batter.
Inspiration: Yummy Curried Carrot
Yummy Curried Carrots
The East Indian and Asian tradition of a daily use of curry, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves and turmeric is one of the reasons these cultures remain active into old age with less age-related inflammation and brain dysfunction. These spices with their pungent flavors are all powerful antioxidants! They’re natural and affordable anti-aging remedies you would do well to consume regularly. If you’re seeking an easy way to create meals that help kick inflammation right out of your life, this dish is a seasoning template for any vegetable or combinations of vegetables or for proteins such as chicken, fish, lamb or beef. In this simple preparation of curried carrots, you’ll find a quick compliment to any protein or complex carb entrée you may choose. You can even toss these flavorful curried carrots into a fresh baby green salad. This recipe may be introducing you to garam masala, a magic blend of spices that contains coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cloves and bay leaf.
I like the interesting effect of cutting the carrots for this dish in gems that creates an attractive multi-faceted effect rather than just a dice or sliced round. This video from Saveur Magazine will show you the simple technique. You can use it, not only for long root vegetables like carrots, but also for zucchini and asparagus.
Here’s your recipe. Enjoy the video!
6 medium carrots, peeled, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons cold pressed coconut oil
One to 2 tablespoons mild to hot curry, according to taste
One teaspoon minced fresh ginger or ½ teaspoon dried
One teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon garam masala
½ cup canned coconut milk or water
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice
Pinches of Celtic Salt to taste (less than 1/2 teaspoon works for me)
Heat the coconut oil over medium heat in a stainless steel saucepan. Add the spices and cook just to allow the fragrances to release. Add the carrots and mix well. Stir in the coconut milk. Cover and cook for 15 minutes over medium low heat. Uncover, mix well and allow the carrots to continue cooking until any liquid is fully absorbed. Season with the lime juice. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in cilantro and mix well.
Serves 4-6.
Inspiration: Mashed coliflor
The text accompanying the photo that Kevin’s wife Helene sent our way reads, “I may never eat mashed potatoes again!”
1 large cauliflower, leaves removed, core intact, cut or broken into medium florets
2 tablespoons of butter
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ to 1 cup of shaved Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt or to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Place cauliflower florets in a steamer, cover and steam them over medium heat until they’re tender but not mushy. Transfer to a colander and blot dry with a paper towel to remove some of the moisture.
- Place the hot cauliflower in food processor. Add all of the remaining ingredients in the order given.
- Process until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps are visible.
- Dish into a serving bowl and serve immediately while the mash is still hot. If you’re not able to serve it right away, turn the mixture out into a saucepan and cover. When you’re ready to serve gently stir while you reheat the mixture over medium heat until it’s hot.
Serves 2 to 4.

Easy Egg, Potato and Baby Kale Salad
This is an easy salad you can make for breakfast, lunch or a light supper. The ingredients are easy to keep on hand. The baby kale is particularly tender and delicious, not tough and overly bitter, like the more mature plant. Believe or not, if you’ve never tried it, you’ll see that it softens like baby skin as it’s tossed in the dressing! When you’re mixing eggs and potatoes, two thoughts may come up for both Fit for Life and Young for Life readers. For the Fit for Lifers, “What happened to food combining?” Answer, in some cases, it makes sense to ignore it!
In this example, this particular salad contains the high protein egg and the quick acting steamed potato. The former provides the finest nutrients for muscle toning and the latter provides the quick burst of glycogen for muscle fuel. And that’s the bridge for Young for Lifers. If you’re like Dr. Rock and me, eating to create tone and energy, you’ll see that this meal keeps you going with your Isometric and Isotonic routines as you use them throughout the day.
I think you’ll enjoy this low carb toning meal, which is high in antioxidants found in the eggs, kale, olive oil, butter, cumin, garlic and black pepper. For this meal, as for any other you eat, it only makes sense to take a 500 mg capsule of buffered vitamin C right after the meal to balance the free radicals that are always formed during digestion in the stomach. Said another way, this dose of vitamin C will handle the AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) we discuss in Young for Lifethat form when protein and carbs are combined.

Inspiration: Zucchini bread (found on SPONGE DESIGN)
200g butter, softened at room temperature (1 ¾ stick)
200g caster sugar (1 cup)
2 eggs
150g zucchini (about 2 small ones)
1 small apple
200g plain flour (1.6 cups)
Large pinch salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
Large pinch cinnamon
60g pecans (half cup, chopped)
80g sultanas (half cup, packed)
200g caster sugar (1 cup)
2 eggs
150g zucchini (about 2 small ones)
1 small apple
200g plain flour (1.6 cups)
Large pinch salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
Large pinch cinnamon
60g pecans (half cup, chopped)
80g sultanas (half cup, packed)
Preheat oven at 180°C (fan-forced 160°C). Grease and line the base of a loaf tin measuring 20cm x 12cm x 9cm deep. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat eggs and mix them in, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Meanwhile, coarsely grate zucchini and apple. Squeeze them with your hands to remove any excess moisture, then add to mixture. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon, and gently fold into mixture. Stir in nuts and fruit. Transfer to lined loaf tin and bake for 60-65 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Allow to cool in tin before turning out.
Note: to keep the apples from turning dark and therefore keeping the crumb from turning too dark, use the apples immediately after using. Your cake will remain more golden. Walnuts may be used in place of pecans. Golden raisins are also a nice touch, as is an extra huge addition of cinnamon, if that’s what you like.
