Meatless Monday

Meatless Monday is a concept that initially didn't go down so well in our house. Until I started experimenting with Mexican quinoa bowls. It's super easy after a busy day and very nutritious. And who doesn't love a dish that requires only one pan?

Gluten Free Baking

When we first decided to lead a gluten free lifestyle I found it a little tricky. Thanks to the wealth of information on the Internet I soon adjusted our meals and it's been no trouble at all. I thought I'd share with you what I've learnt about baking without gluten.

Keep your basil growing in winter

So, almost a year ago I wrote about how easy it is to grow basil (you can read about it here). What I hadn't realised at that point was that we were heading into winter. I had never attempted to grow basil in the garden in winter and I failed miserably!

The Ultimate Ice Tea

Summer is starting to fade here in Johannesburg and we are making the best of it. Lexi and I have been spending our days in the garden, as much as possible. To encourage Lexi to drink more (and in keeping with our summery days), I have been making batches of ice tea and adding fruit. 

Pomegranate Picking

This morning Lexi and I went on one of the best Adventure Clubs adventures yet.... picking organic pomegranates at Ganico organic farm. They were warm, friendly and great with the kids.
