Took my daughter to the zoo for the first time today. All day she ran around so excited and impressed other people with her knowledge. I was so glad we ate before because the price of food there was so expensive. I understand they have a lot of tourists coming…

New years eats 2017 Part 1
Staying on the theme of bacon bacon bacon, after a really crazy new years eve celebration and waking up at noon, you need something delicious and salty to cure you of the previous festivities. With minimal effort, I made bacon egg toast cups. These are great if you don’t want to dirty dishes and be…
What to eat on Christmas
I do find it weird that I am blogging on Christmas night but something weird happened today. We decided not to make plans for this festive season and wing it. I started off the morning with some salmon eggs benedict. All made from scratch. It was my 3Rd time attempt at making it. First try…
Festive Meals: 5 meal challenge
The festive season brings some of the craziest behaviour you have ever seen. People flood the malls and it becomes the most claustrophobic experience having weird people bump into your shoulders or hit your with trolleys.

It’s all about what pleases the senses. My love for red wine goes deep. It’s a love story that dates back to the days of stealing rare…
Van Loveren Wines: New Love
So I have been falling in love with wine all over and over now that I have started expanding my pallet not only to include red wines. When I went to the Vaal Wine Route a couple of months ago, the first place we started off at served us Van Loveren wines that we landed…
The Lazy Supper
You can never go wrong with this. Sometimes when I get back from work, I am super tired. Then I think of my child, nanny and Fiancé and the first thing to pop into my head is “What are we eating for supper?”. My next immediate thought is if I do not make supper, I…
Why I love entertaining: 2 course meal
Over the last few years, I have upped my cooking skills to a point where I have a lot of confidence what I present and where I invite lots of people to come and taste my food. I really do love cooking. This past weekend, I hosted my cousin, her husband and her son. I…
