There are two things I love in this world (ok there are totally more than two things I love), but two really cool things are birthdays and a dress up. And even better when they are combined! Yippeeeeeee! So of course I was excited about the Rock ‘n Roll themed birthday a few weekends ago. […]
I may have mentioned before that I am not the biggest fan of lettuce. There really are only certain types that I enjoy eating, mostly I just eat lettuce because I know it’s good for me. However I really do prefer the less is more approach when making a salad. With the warmer weather I […]
I really enjoy the summer months, although I fry in the sun I function better when it’s warmer. When it is cold I freeze! And although I prefer cooking hearty winter dishes I am warming up (har har har) to cooking summer salad type things when it’s hot. Cape Town has finally allowed summer to […]

Gnocchi? On a Monday? As you do – YES! Lucky me getting gnochhi on a Monday and it was meat free. Not that I am hard and fast on the meat free Monday idea I do like to eat veggies only on occasion and what better way to do it. I always thought gnochhi was […]
Everyone knows about the end of the month salticrax meal. I’ve got something which is easy on the budget, quick to make and super yummy delish. This is something else from the Wam’s repertoire and I remember when she needed to feed a lot of people on a small budget this was something we used. […]
