Pumpking and Feta Pasta
Pumpking and Feta Pasta
We got ouselves a winner with this pasta, mainly because it’s so easy and really tasty. The excellent thing about pumpkin is that it has less calories and sugar, but it’s just as delicious as butternut (if not more). If you want to make the meal gluten-free, you can always use spelt pasta or zucchini noodles instead of the wholewheat pasta. Another suggestion for my plant-based readers is to…

Tomato-y Goodness
Our travels have kept us very busy, especially over weekends. Last Sunday, we decided to go grape picking at one of the annual grape picking festivals in the area. (fun grape hack: freezing them makes them an icy treat on hot days, and obviously keeps them eatable for longer). We packed a light lunch and ate it at the beach, along with even more grapes. Unfortunately our active Sunday made us…

Crunch
My story goes: I decided that it was time to take out the sourdough and whip up a yummy bread loaf. Excitement and lovely doughy smells swirled around the kitchen, and I was feeling super industrious. Only when I took the fresh out the oven did I realise that the thing hadn’t risen, it was cracked and cracked some teeth while trying to chew through it. Husband was supportive and told me that he…

Gangsta Wrap
YUM DELISH I’m talking about a meal that I stole from one of my friends who should be a chef. She effortlessly snapped her fingers and BAM, “Let there be food.” One of my housemates asked me what would happen if you tried to make a paste/ sauce with black beans, since you can make hummus with chickpeas. And I thought this was a good question. My chef friend didn’t exactly answer this…

Mexcellent!
You know when I taught you the value of adding spices and flavours to your quinoa, or millet, or couscous? There’s so much more, you guys! This next recipe was so flavourful, spicy, yummy, and flippen easy to make. One pot and a few tins of goodness, and you’ve got yourself a Mexican treat. I think that it’s always a good idea to dry fry your quinoa or millet for two or three minutes before…

From My Head Tomatoes
From My Head Tomatoes
I had a buckwheat recipe that I was keen to try last week. I wrote down the ingredients and game-planned my Wednesday morning shop. Except that I ended up going rogue in the grocery store and bought things that inspired me. So in the end, I made my own kind of meal without the help of a recipe, you know what? It tasted pretty damn good, if I may say so myself. And if I may not say so myself, my…

Found in My Fridge
Found in My Fridge
I have moved on to smaller and simpler things with my wedding on the way. Saving money seems to eat up my head space and all I can do is stare at my budgeting strategies over and over again. This dramatic prologue has a point. Because, as I have said before, necessity is the mother of invention, and so invention was what I did when I needed dinner. From my cupboard, I had leftover pasta from…

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Once you step off the pool steps into the deep end, you find out just how deep that end is. With couscous recipes, there’s always the potential to rather add quinoa or millet or buckwheat or polenta. Where does it end? And if you are so inclined to jump into that kind of pool then you also need to learn how to cook each one. I decided to have a hand at quinoa. I didn’t follow the recipe to the…

Mr. Golden Sunflower Seed
Mr. Golden Sunflower Seed
We’ve hit the seed train and now the ride is full steam ahead. Last week I told you to bite the bullet and buy a bag of pumpkin seeds, but what I really should have said was; buy a bag of mixed seeds. You’ve got to ingest the goodness of all the different seeds in one go. If you need motivation, it’s what I do so…. I honestly sprinkle those guys over everything: oats, boiled egg on toast,…

Perks of being Pumpkin Seed
Perks of being Pumpkin Seed
Sprinkle them over you avocado toast, your oats in the morning, or toast and add them to your salad. It takes your dish from zero to luxurious and extra. Your impressed friends will say things like, “Wow how fancy! You even added seeds!” Those are the words you want to hear Mr./ Mrs. Dinner Host. These little critters are packed with a nutrient punch and your body rejoices when your intestines…

All I Avo Wanted
All I Avo Wanted
Did you know that avocados are actually a fruit? A berry, to be more precise. I was surprised to learn this, although when I thought about it a bit longer, I couldn’t think of how to classify it anyway. I often eat a whole avocado on two slices of sourdough bread, with hummus, a sprinkle of feta, and some seeds. But alas, I was again surprised to learn that the recommended serving size of an…

Nacho Average Meal
My friends and I like to go all extravagant sometimes. One kilogram of cheese, three bags of nacho chips, a pack of mince and three avocados to make guac, two sour cream tubs and a salsa jar. There are no expenses saved, no going back once the guac is being made, no skimping on the cheese. It’s all in. And then it’s not just nachos. It’s a layer of chips, of mince, of cheese, with another layer…

Make (mush)Room for Me
Make (mush)Room for Me
Stranded and alone in a foreign city without cooking skills, cleaning ability, or any means of survival. I sought friends who taught me the ways of buying fast food more times a months than I used to eat in a year. I would go to the shops and buy the ingredients that I was familiar with: A loaf of brown bread, one litre of milk, and a slab of chocolate. I know what you’re thinking: “No. This…
