Happy Fathers day weekend! Fathers day at our home is spent pretty relaxed, with the whole family outside around the braai, my husband says I’m an expert braai master – he isn’t wrong. The best gift you could give a Dad on fathers day is a full stomach of incredible food, and whether he’s a […]
Fudge Brownies
One of my favourite bakes has got to be brownies, not just any type of brownies! The thick fudgey kind with molten chocolate bits inside. These brownies are a breeze to make because its prepared in 1 bowl! That alone has got me doing hand stands around the kitchen with joy. I made these on […]

What a beautiful morning it is, I got up bright and early this morning and went for a walk, got home and sulked because I have to go to Home Affairs to apply for a passport. I’m not sad about the passport it’s the actual process of waiting in line that is somewhat annoying. Now […]

Penne Arrabiata
Whenever I’m asked about what’s my go to meal when I just don’t have the time my answer is always Penne Arrabiata. The sauce is delicious and smooth and I love smothering penne in it because it soaks up every bit of the sauce and that’s ideally what you want. This is also perfect now […]
