Banting Bliss – Sweet Potato Cottage Pie
Posted on May 27, 2014 by in beef
Banting, oh my word, everywhere around me I spot the “banters”! Banting is the new dieting, like hipster is the new mainstream and pop-up is the new restaurant…… I like it a lot! Banting was started by William Banting, a formerly obese English undertaker who lost a substantial amount of weight by cutting back on […]

Posted on May 14, 2014 by in rsg, soups, vegetables
Sweet Potato has become the new potato in our house! I cannot remember when last did I eat a potato quite frankly! Sweet Potato, being a better carbohydrate choice, has shot up in popularity since Tim Noakes dropped the LCHF way of eating! I must say, I was skeptic as I love potatoes in any […]

Posted on February 18, 2014 by in Chicken, paleo
Coconut reminds me of carefree summers around the municipal pool in Ceres, tanning with Tropicana Suntan Lotion and eating Coco Pops ice lollies! Coconut also reminds me of Christmases gone by with grandma and her cake tins filled with Hertzoggies. Coconut Ice is another of my guilty pleasures and at our local Spar the the […]

Onion rings without the gluten guilt!
Posted on July 30, 2013 by in vegetables, vegetarian
Onion rings are the master of me, I simply cannot resist them! I seldom make them for that specific reason, but so wish they were not that lethal. Whenever we treat ourselves to a proper steak, it must have all the trimmings with it…. fries, onion rings and a good sauce. Onion rings done the […]

Cheese and pepper butter sound way to ordinary for the absolutely delicious recipe I am about to share with you, since I could not come up with a more interesting name, you are going to just take my word for it. My addiction to cheese is no secret, if you just look at all the […]
