This review is not for vegetarians or vegans. It is for those who love meat. Red meat. Like me. Like us. Like most South Africans. Like banters. The name already says it all. Right? Quite honestly, I was a little doubtful about our meal here* as we were making our way to Fourways (from the […] Read more…
I need to begin by saying that this is not a gardening blog & if I start dishing out gardening advice, then something might be seriously wrong here. But please stick with me & read a bit further. You will see where I’m going with this post. In our grown-up home, I experienced the joy […] Read more…
This soup is winter in a bowl for me – thick & full of delicious lamb meat. I discovered it last winter in a Sarie Kos magazine dating back to 2012. Lamb Stew Soup, serves 6 The original recipe calls for lamb shanks, but I have used both lamb & beef stewing meat for this […] Read more…

If Low Carb (aka Banting) High Tea makes you think of proteien-only options with loads of fat, then think again. In fact, if you did […] Read more…

Here goes: Rice Crispies Rainbow Cake, Serves about 12 For the ‘cake’ layers: 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter 9 cups of mashmallows (mini’s mashies are best […] Read more…
My favourite bobotie recipe is a super delicious & decadent one – packed with yummy ingredients (sugar, bread, chutney, jam & more) though, that it tastes a bit more like a dessert than anything else! So, when I recently found some very cute mini squashes (or pumpkins if you like) at Woolies, I decided to […] Read more…
If you know me well, then you’ll also know that I love my water. (I’m also a mouth breather, which is probably a contributing factor to why I get thirsty more often… arb fact, I know. *blush*). Moving along. I also love my tea & coffee & wine… which means that I’m probably not always […] Read more…
