Top it off with a generous dollup of real raw homemade whipped cream sweetened with Stevia and you’ll be set with a dessert that’s to die for!! So, go and indulge without the guilt.

What cured my insomnia – would you believe it?
Pork trotters!
I have always been a bad sleeper – funny really, because these days I am quite relaxed, meditate, don’t always eat wisely but still … most nights I lay awake for ages, and when I had to get up it took ages to get back to sleep.
Until recently, this changed. 7 1/2 hour, every night. Even if I’d eaten chocolate, or licorice – both things which in the past were guaranteed to keep me up.
So what had changed? Well, my neighbour keeps pigs, and was giving me the trotters which apparently his wife was not keen to cook. I had been experimenting, and as a result was eating bits of trotter in my meal every day.
So I looked it up, and it seems that gelatin helps you sleep. Trotters are chock full of the stuff. You to cook them with herbs and put a bit of that in your soup every day. Gelatin also helps your liver function better, and it’s good for your joints.
For how-to, see http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/the-crucial-reason-you-need-more-gelatin-in-your-diet/ and http://www.livestrong.com/article/476014-how-to-cook-pork-trotter/.
Long live the pigs! But not too long …..
