I’m back! I’ve been on diet for the last 2 years and have successfully gained 8kgs. Dieting is obviously not working for me so I said f^&k it, and have spent the most glorious month testing and playing around with new recipes I’ve always wanted to make a galette which is basically a quiche, tart… Continue reading Roasted Veg Tart pastry thingy with fancy French name – Galette
Last week-end I did a 9km hike up Kilimanjaro, not quite but it felt like it. I struggled going up, the hip was killing me and I struggled going down, the ankles & knees taking strain. Afterwards I felt surprisingly good and wanted to reward myself for perservering and for burning a shit load of… Continue reading Chicken dish without a name.
The first time I met my friend Kelly I was struck by her energy and her lime green, short shorts. Back then most people would have noticed her hair because there was lots of it….big, blonde and ultra curly. I loved her straight away, she reminded me of my long lost self and even though… Continue reading Chicken & Veg Lasagne
I love chickpeas but chickpeas don’t love me. They give me so much gas I could power up a nuclear station. And Lovie doesn’t like chickpeas because he says only chicks eat them but personally I think he doesn’t want to have to endure the farting that comes with me eating chickpeas. I do apologise… Continue reading Sweet potato & chickpea curry
I’ve been meaning to get back to blogging for sometime but with all the cleaning, cooking and stuffing my face during lockdown I just haven’t had the time. I know I shouldn’t say this out loud, but I love being on lockdown. I know that I am one of the lucky one’s. I don’t have… Continue reading Lockdown Rusk.

The party was in full swing and I was in the middle of doing my Michael Jackson moves to ABBA’s Dancing Queen when I was dragged across the dance floor to meet Lovie. I knew all about Lovie, I knew he was divorced,… Continue reading ‘Indulge’ me Chicken Stir fry.
People often asks me how I cook all day then get home and cook a gourmet dinner for 2. I know you expect me to say my passion for cooking inspires me to be creative after hours, but honestly 9/10 it’s because I’m hungry and I like good food. There are a few things I… Continue reading From Gourmet to Simple Mince curry.
Once upon a time I used to be fat but not just double chin kind of fat but 20kg’s too heavy and wobbly bits kind of fat. I was fat because I loved food, still do. Not the good, clean healthy food but the downright dirty foods. The ones that scream carbohydrates, cholesterol and sugar.… Continue reading Chicken Enchiladas Gone Rogue.
Ok so it’s been 365 days x 2 since I last blogged. Long story short, I won’t -bore- you- with-the-details. The good news is I’m back and the bad news is, it’s a blog on how to make ricotta cheese. I know, not a very exciting topic to herald my return to blogging but it’s… Continue reading Gotta make Ricotta
My friend Sandra, but let’s call her Mary to respect her privacy and all that jazz, is my fancy pantsy friend. She lives in a big house with a gourmet kitchen, a cliff hanging pool type thingy, a manicured garden AND a lake slash pond with swans in it …truly…!!! She also has the best… Continue reading A beetroot cake without the Fancy Pantsy
