Vegan Chickpea Freezer Fudge
This is my recipe for a delicious Vegan Chickpea Freezer Fudge, that is not only gluten and dairy-free but also fuss-free, as you pop the mixture straight into a tray to freeze. No candy thermometer needed! I have tested the recipe 4 times, so it’s foolproof too! What Ingredients do you need? Most fudge recipes call for sugar, butter and condensed milk. Mine is a little bit healthier in that I have used canned chickpeas, sugar-free peanut butter, maple syrup, icing sugar, vanilla essence and 70% or higher dark chocolate. What’s the process? This Vegan Chickpea Freezer Fudge is very simple to make – you only need a food processor…

Make this Gut-Friendly Thai Green Curry
A few of you have been asking for this recipe since the Bosch Cooking Class I hosted, so here it is- my Gut-Friendly Thai Green Curry Recipe. The Thai Green Curry paste is made from scratch in a matter of minutes and all you need is a blender or food processor to create the paste. I tend to avoid store-bought sauces and pastes as they are loaded with garlic, onions and preservatives, which are a big no-no if you suffer from IBS. By making the paste from scratch, I avoid this. After the paste is made, you move on to the making the actual curry, which takes less than 20…

In this post, I will go through all the details of our wedding event and all the small touches that made it such a beautiful day, as well as the cost for a few basic suppliers.

I still can’t believe how fast the day flew by, but that’s why we get photographers and videographers, to help us capture all the obvious moments, as well as those not too obvious moments in between when we aren’t even aware we are being filmed or photographed. The moment that the…

Rose Gold Valentines Gin Cocktails
These Rose Gold Valentines Gin Cocktails are the perfectly pretty cocktail to mix up for your lover before you go out on a dinner date, or before dinner at home. I made these cocktails using 5 ingredients: Strawberry Syrup, Thyme, Lemon Juice, Gin and an Egg White. Egg white might sound gross, but don’t worry, you don’t taste it all, and it gives the drink a nice pillowy smooth taste. The Ingredients in the Rose Gold Gin Cocktails I used strawberry syrup that I purchased from The Redberry Farm in George, but you could also use this version from Woolies. Wixworth Gin was my gin of choice, but really you…

Make Spiced Poached Pear Oats
Today’s recipe is how to make Spiced Poached Pear Oats, a gluten-free deliciously comforting breakfast, using pears, mixed spices, oats, butter and almond milk. If you know me, you know I love to make pretty breakfasts. I believe that we eat with our eyes, so it is important to always make sure that the food that we are making for our family not only looks delicious but tastes delicious too. Oats have a rep for being bland, mushy and kind of gross, but that’s just because sometimes they are boiled too long, or they just aren’t treated with much love. My Tips for Making Oats Don’t cook your oats in…
