Everybody always talks about whether pancakes or waffles are better. Nobody ever bothers to include crepes in the equation. The answer became obvious to me this week: crepes would always win. Crepes have the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast. Breakfast or dessert, sweet or savoury, hot or cold, crepes have got your back. The French…

I write things. I eat things. Occasionally will write about eating things. Will also write about going places and doing things.
30 Minute Vegetarian Chilli Bowls
Regarding today’s recipe, nothing could be easier. Even calling for takeout. Because that involves scanning the menu, deciding what you want, calling the takeout place, waiting 30 minutes for the delivery- and even then, it might not be as good as you anticipate. In that same space of time, you could have prepared these easy…
No Bake Mini Lemon Mini Cheesecakes
Who doesn’t love a good cheesecake? Dessert does not get better than this. And with the holiday season upon us, there’s no need to be counting calories and jumping on the scale. Now is the time to celebrate, to eat, drink and be merry! I know a lot of people get intimidated by the idea…
Peach Strawberry Iced Tea
In case you haven’t noticed yet, strawberries are my favourite fruit. They’re available all year round, affordable, small and easy to grab on the go, affordable, deliciously juicy and sweet, easily adapted into any recipe and did I mention, AFFORDABLE?!

Spinach Pesto Braided Bread Wreath
Stop the presses- I’m alive! I know it’s been over a month since my last post, my sincerest apologies, and I would love to tell you about all the wonderful adventures I’ve had since then, but today, let’s focus on this beautiful braided baby. Ain’t she a beaut? To all of you who are declaring November ‘No-Bread Month’, I’m…
Apricot Almond Chia Granola Bars with Yogurt Drizzle
Confession Time: I have loathed peanut butter since I was 7 years old. Before I was 7, I loved peanut butter and put it on virtually everything I ate. From crackers to sandwiches to rice (it’s a Zimbabwean delicacy along with kale and peanut butter) I could not get enough of the stuff. Until one…
Life Is Oh So Dandy
