It’s Good Friday. This month has been a precious time of discovery that God speaks louder than words and that love is more than an emotion. Today was a day for deep gratitude – and no less for the journey that I have been on for the past few months to step out of my … More Low Carb Cheese Crackers
I never expected to have to cook so much on holiday. We’ve been on the road holidaying in New Zealand. In our usual dysfunctional and last minute planning we booked this holiday too late and at peak season (yes for some reason we’ve always done our family holidays over Christmas and the New Year). … More Low Carb Seafood Chowder
I absolutely and utterly love turkey leftovers. Which is why I usually upsize the turkey to make sure that there are plenty of leftovers because the kids can’t get enough of turkey stew, turkey sandwiches and turkey pot pie…I was actually thinking of making a turkey chilli this year but whoops, there wasn’t enough leftover … More The day after Turkey Stew

But I kid you not, 1 week of using these facial products and I can see and … More Kimchi Jigae
I adore Korean food. Nothing beats the hearty, spicy soups and stews, the flavorful barbecue meats or even Korean fried chicken. I do draw the line at live seafood though…hubs just sent me a video of his meal. We had recently been to Korea for a couple of days and I came back earlier than … More Seafood Tofu Soup (Haemul Sundubu Jigae)
Good ol’ hubs was pandering to my carnivorous instincts when he organized a birthday celebration this weekend at Carni & Caipirinha, a new Churrascaria place in Clementi. It was a triple birthday celebration for my equally carnivorous son, my FIL (who has meat and chewing aversion in case any of his dental implants … More Homemade Feijoada (Black Bean Stew)
