Veg Out

Recently my husband & I began a healthy eating & lifestyle plan, & when I realised just how expensive this was going to be, I literally shuddered.  I am having to go to the shops every second or third day to buy fresh fruit & veggies, & these often go vrot before we get a […]

Heavenly Apple Pie

I know that many people are not fans of baked fruit desserts, but believe me when I say that this will change your life!  This is a dessert that has been around in our family since I can remember, & it is my go to recipe that I use whenever I am making something for […]

The Part-Time Vegan

Our friend that currently lives with us is a vegan and I have always been interested to see what she comes up with for her meals.  She has even allowed me to sample some of these (yum!) & I think is secretly converting my dogs into vegans too as they sample everything on her plate […]

Propa Food Bar

A while ago my sister (who has the Metafit franchise in South Africa) told me about these fabulous smoothies that she had tried.  She then ordered these for her training that she was doing out at Prince’s Grant for personal trainers, & managed to get custom ones made in the colours that she needed.  I […]

Le Famished Cat

Since getting out of hospital & actually being able to swallow my food (one of the fabulous symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis is constantly choking on food, & there would often be days where I would go without being able to eat properly) means that I have picked up quite a bit of extra weight.  In […]

Lingo Coffee

I haven’t always been a huge coffee fan; but burning the candle at both ends, as well as smelling the delicious scent of my husband’s coffee in the morning has made me brave & want to finally “grow up”.  I still don’t know if I am brave enough to try some without sugar & milk, […]

Chicken Liver Pate

With Christmas already over, I thought I would share with you something that we ALWAYS have at our family Christmas – chicken liver pate.  Mum has always made the most delicious pate & eating it brings back the best, happy memories.  I have tried different recipes, but none can quite compare to my staple! Mum’s […]

Oh My (Cake)!

I first heard about Oh My Cake! when they contacted us & offered to make a cake for the Rare Bear Project‘s second birthday.  I was really impressed by this contact as they are a relatively small business, yet they still wanted to find a way to be able to give back to the community.  […]

My perfect Match(a)!

About 2 weeks ago I received a parcel from Just Matcha that contained a tin of matcha & the sweetest handwritten note.   Matcha has so many amazing benefits, & I have been contemplating buying some for quite a while now.  I have really been battling with a lack of energy, & because I often […]

Wazoogles!

Magic is all around us – you just have to believe! A symptom of Myasthenia Gravis is struggling to swallow, & this is the one that I battle with most of all.  There have been times that I have gone days without being able to eat anything, & when I am really battling I can’t […]
