I love this time of year because it means longer days, and evenings outdoors. Whether it be barbecuing (aka Braaing as us ‘Saffa’s’ call it), walks in nature/on the beach or even a stroll around the neighborhood – it’s so great to make the most of this time of year. So, in order to make the most of all these outdoor activities, I don’t preferably want to be cooking for hours in the kitchen. I introduce you to…

It’s a creative outlet that makes my soul happy and I have so much fun creating each scene and stringing along the story of each post.

This dish came together so…

It freezes well too, which is great when you’re pressed for time or just can’t be bothered to cook. Let’s be honest –…

This week on the blog I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite recipes so far. Sifting through archives and reminiscing on past dishes has been quite wonderful, therapeutic in a way. A stroll down memory lane is always good. These recipes range from sweet to savory and are in no particular order. One thing that gathering all these recipes has made me realize is how much time, effort and hard work I’ve poured into this blog. Not that it feels like work at all!
