Children’s Biscuits
Last night husband said he felt like something yummy, but we didn’t have anything available on hand. I searched through our cupboards & found a few ingredients to make his favourite childhood treat – Children’s Biscuits aka Smartie Biscuits aka Butter Biscuits. They are so easy & super delicious. Although he wasn’t happy with the […]
Marshmallow Icing
This is the icing my mum has made for me ever since I can remember! They were on all my birthday cakes, & she would often make cakes for us through high school & we would still fight over who got to lick the bowl once she had iced the cake. You need a double […]
Bean Stew
Guys, this lockdown has got all of us thinking about our finances, our future, and how to spend our free time. I have been loving spending a little extra time in the kitchen, and trying out recipes that I don’t usually – or trying out new recipes that can ensure our food stretches a little […]

Pumpkin Pie
I was given this recipe from a family member following a Christmas dinner, & whenever I have made it since it has been a huge hit! Yesterday we had our Christmas lunch with our friends, & it reminded me again of how popular & yummy it is – so I knew I had to share […]

Chocolate Brownie
I love nothing better than a soft squishy brownie, that literally releases a volcano of flavour as you bite into it. I whipped some up yesterday afternoon & cooked them in two different ways – in muffin tins as individual brownies, & then in a cake tin to cut triangular ones. The different tins allowed […]
Umoya Foods
During my quest to health in 2019, I discovered this local business called “Umoya Foods”. I saw how people I admire in the health industry were making use of their products, & I was drawn to their social media presence as well as their offerings. I have realised that our foods these days are not […]
Grumpy Snacks
My health journey has introduced me to many new businesses that really get me excited. I have a terrible sweet tooth, & definitely eat my emotions. ie if I’m feeling happy/sad/excited/depressed/nervous/stressed/any other emotion, I will reach for food. And preferably something sweet, laden with sugar & filled with empty calories. I have been consciously trying […]
Sugarbird Gin
I am a HUGE gin fan. I don’t usually enjoy too much alcohol, but when it comes to gin I feel there is nothing better on a hot evening. Husband & I sit outside, enjoy a cold drink together & chat over our day. My body doesn’t feel bloated or gross after I have indulged […]
