It took me twice as long usual to get to the gym after work today. After a brief and somewhat frightening thunderstorm half of the traffic lights were blacked out and cars were bumper to bumper. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t function well in traffic congestion. Actually that’s an understatement. I read on ..

Sometimes you wake up on a Saturday morning craving pancakes. . . But instead you wind up eating French toast with peach jam. . . . . .because your pancake dreams made you forget about the cinnamon raisin bread that you baked the night before for the BBA Challenge. Sometimes you wake up on a read on ..

I bake bread. A lot. I probably bake one loaf a week, sometimes two. Bread can be quite complicated to perfect, but what I love about baking it is that even if I don’t get it just right, even if there is something I think I can improve on, my bread is always a hit. read on ..

When you have a shit tonne of zucchini from your cousin-in-law’s garden, you have to get creative in the kitchen.

On to day 2 of raw eating! I copied yesterday’s breakfast of Chia Pudding. I’m really liking this stuff! Chia pudding for breakfast tomorrow? I’m gonna go with YES. Today’s pudding was flavoured with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg instead of the oolong tea. I love this spice combination; it reminds me of John R. Park read on ..

Today I did it raw as part of my Final Cleanse before my upcoming birthday. 3 raw meals and countless snacks (of fresh fruit and raw nuts) and it was much easier than expected. I’m actually really looking forward to breakfast tomorrow. Breakfast was by far my favourite meal. Creamy Nut Chia Seed Pudding with Ripe read on ..
