HAPPY 2019! I know it’s hilarious – we’re pretty much in Feb already and this is my first recipe post of the year! So sorry about that, but I’ve really been trying to reorganise and re-prioritise. I want 2019 to be amazing, and more so for my blog – I want (and need!) to challenge […]

#ZeroWasteForMay: Two of the BEST Ways to Enjoy Avocado Toast
Avocado toast… Hm, perhaps one of the simplest and most satisfying healthy meals out there right? You only need 2 things: avocado and some toast. Done! Not so fast.

#ZeroWasteForMay: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Sourced from Nude Foods
So, after a horrid and uninteresting first week of #ZeroWasteForMay, I immersed myself into a new experience: ditching the familiar shelves of Pick ‘n Pay and making my way to Nude Foods, a shop that supports plastic-free grocery.

Sweet Potato Pesto Burgers – UNDER 200 CALORIES PER SERVING
To be honest, I was surprised how tasty these were. Because I am one HUGE burger lover! So don’t come to me with some imitation with fake meat and fake buns. Just NO! So, as you can imagine, these happened quite by accident really. In the week I’m a bit more strict on my food […]

GLUTEN-FREE Breakfast Egg Nests
Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day! For some reason, I wake up every morning feeling completely ravenous – ready to devour the entire contents of the fridge. This is one of the reasons why I struggle to follow fasting diets and my stomach eats itself if I decide to starve it till lunchtime. […]
5 Minute Sun-dried Tomato, Chicken and Feta Zucchini Noodles
Today is the day to try something new: zucchini noodles. If you’re one of those CARB SMART individuals – I’m sure you’ve tried them before.
