Pork Cubed and Minced

Normally a staple item in a freezer as it is great in so many dishes. Minced or cubed pork is easily frozen.

Minced Pork

Preparation: Minced

Check label and ensure it doesn’t say previously frozen. If it does you will have to cook the meat and then freeze. You should never refreeze already defrosted raw uncooked meat.

Packaging: Minced

Weigh straight into dated and labelled freezer bags. It can be useful to also write the weight of the meat down that you are freezing. You can shape the minced beef straight into patties or meat balls and wrap individually before freezing. Ensure you expel the air from the bag before placing in the freezer.

Thawing: Minced

Thaw overnight in fridge or you can cook gently from partially frozen. Stir often to prevent sticking.

Storage Time: Minced

3 months

Cubed Pork

Preparation: Cubed

If you are buying fresh meat from a supermarket or butchers, check it hasn’t already been frozen. Packaging should state whether an item can be frozen. Fresh meat which has previously been frozen should not be refrozen without cooking it first.

If you prefer less fat, then trim this away from the cuts before freezing. The items can come pre-prepared in cubes but if not then cut into usable chunks. Think about how much you need in each portion before packaging.

Packaging: Cubed

Weigh the items or store in portion size. Remember to mark on the label the portion as well as the date of freezing. Place straight into freezer bags but expel as much air as possible from the bag before placing in the freezer.

Thawing: Cubed

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then cook as you would normally.

Storage Time: Cubed

8 months

Emma Alexander-Cook

My name's Emma. I've been living gluten-free for over 25 years, and I've been dairy-free for over five years.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.

Coaching and Consultancy

Previously an IT Manager my skill set has come in very handy as I am both a Health Coach and also offer consultancy for small business starts up and fellow Health Coaches. This has included building websites and online profiles.

Our Family

Family is everything to me! We have a family of four boys where the age difference between the youngest and the eldest is 18 years. Two of our sons are also Gluten Free and Dairy Free. Emma is a Health Coach who specialises in helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Ian runs his own business which began developing a Race Timer for diecast model cars.
