We had planned on heading into London to go to Winter Wonderland, but with the recent terror incident in London, and some free tickets to a local Christmas Market, we decided to stay closer to home. I was a little disappointed but mostly elated that I wouldn’t have to go on the train again so…

Nice on 4th, Parkhurst, Johannesburg
“Nice” just is the wrong name for this bakery/bookshop. It should be called “Amazing” or “Divine” or “Heavenly”. “Nice” is thoroughly inadequate! I always approach bakeries and cake shops with a bit of a sinking heart. I know I am going to be disappointed. I know that the lovely looking gluten free cake will have…
Greek Quinoa
Have you tried Quinoa yet? If not, you really should! Quinoa is a gluten free “ancient grain”. It is a really good source of protein, fiber and iron. It has a bunch of essential amino acids, which are great for weight loss. It’s also super trendy at the moment for some reason. I am not…
Strange Omelette
Have you ever read Whoopi Goldberg’s book, “Book“? It’s an autobiography, but written in the funniest way possible. It’s in my top 3 books of all time, which for those of you who know me, is an indication of how good it is! I have read far too many books, if there is such a…
Typing & Eating
Because that’s what you do when you have one of the best lunches you’ve ever had from a “sandwich bar” type place! Thank you to Pret to Go from your very new but very happy customer!! This morning was not a good morning for me on the getting ready front. In fact, it’s a miracle…
Kicking Healthy
I went to see a nutritionist the other day as part of my ongoing treatment for my stomach issues. Where I have been so ill for the last few months, I am missing out on valuable nutrients or something. There was a big explanation from my doctor about it. I switched off after a while….
Pizza Cravings
Me, yesterday…. The result… Freedom Pizza rocks!
Posh Burgers
You know how I wrote a love note to Claw the other day, and said how I don’t like going out on Thursday nights? Yeah, well, Saturday nights are the same. I generally am shattered from Friday’s activities, and sorting myself out for the week ahead. (Writing this blog is actually highlighting that I need…
Spaghetti Squash, Part 2
Yes… this is going to turn into a 4 part series! I can only eat half a squash in one dinner! So, last night I had half a spaghetti squash to play with, and didn’t want to do the same recipe again. That would be boring and I am not boring – in the kitchen anyway!…
Spaghetti Squash
I have been looking for spaghetti squash for such a long time. I really enjoy the flavour and the texture, and think it makes a great low carb side dish. However, I was starting to come to the conclusion that I was never going to find it again. I hadn’t seen it in London, Johannesburg…
