    Purple Potato and Leek Soup

    Have my food dreams come true? I believe they have because this bowl of Purple Potato and Leek Soup is so beautiful. I am in love with these spuds and I hope you don’t mind, but a foray of potato recipes shall follow over the coming days because I also have yellow and pink potatoes waiting to be eaten. (Thanks Wesgrow and my fairy godmother Justine) Wesgrow (est. 1964) is a farmer-owned company, situated on the banks of the Vaal River in the Western Free State, producing in excess of 6000ha of potatoes, and representing 60% of total potato seed production to farmers in South Africa! Today’s recipe – Purple…

    {Gluten Free} Smoked Salmon Poke Bowl

    Today’s recipe is smoked salmon poke bowls and I’m sure you’ve tried a poke bowl by now? They are still very popular, probably because they are so customisable and fresh – giving you a chance to really be creative in the selection of vegetables and protein concoctions. Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw, marinated fish — usually tuna or even salmon, tossed over rice and topped with vegetables. (Also, it’s pronounced POH-keh, not POKE) This recipe uses smoked salmon for two reasons – One, sushi grade Salmon/Tuna is very very expensive in Joburg and two, I know a few people can’t bear to…

    {GF} Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins

    Hello I am baaaack and baking again after a week away from JHB in the Kruger. On our way back, we stopped at Joubert and Sons, a farm stall on the N4 in Schoemanskloof. This place is fruit heaven – there is an assortment of citrus and other fruits available and we bought bags and bags of oranges and grapefruit and some other goodies – but more and that soon. We also got a punnet of blueberries which is why I decided to make these Gluten Free Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins. Using Coconut Flour is always a risk because of how temperamental it can be – use too much and…

    {GF & DF} Berry Bliss Protein Balls

    We are about to head to the Kruger on Tuesday and I am soooo excited to defrost from the freezing Jozi for a few days. The only thing I don’t like about the Kruger is how much snacks I can consume while we are out on game drives. I am a grazer and I eat small meals throughout the day, so this time I have made sure to pack as many healthy snacks as I can – raw nuts, dried fruit, pop chips and these Berry Bliss Protein Balls. They take about 10 – 15 minutes to make and are not only delicious and full of protein, but they are…

    Make Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies

    Today I am serving up these Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies! You can top these with any chocolate you like – I used M&M’s this time – so that kind of makes them double chocolate right? If you ever really needed a reason to look forward to the weekend then this is it – Saturday the 7th of July is #WorldChocolateDay – an entire day dedicated to the greatest food ever invented. Let’s face it; life would be bitter without chocolate. You reach for something chocolatey when you are happy and want to treat yourself, or even if you are feeling sad and looking for a comforting snack. Chocolate is the one…
