New Blog Name For A New Year

As 2016 draws to an end, most of us start to look back and reflect on the year we had. We also take this time to think about what we want to achieve in the upcoming year.

Western Cape getaway {Part 1}

I had one of the most amazing little holidays recently and in the spirit of sharing, I'm going to tell you all about it! 

Joburg's best low carb options

As we're nearing the end of another amazing year, I thought I' quickly just share my top few low carb meals I've had this year. There are so many healthy alternatives now that really, we are left with very few excuses to choose junk foods. I am diabetic and insulin depended and so I try and have as little sugar (carbs) in my diet as possible. This means that I can inject myself with less insulin which, for a needle phobic like myself, is a HUGE incentive. The other benefits include maintaining a healthy weight and just generally being a healthier happier human.

Kream

Last week I and a few other foodies were treated to a night out at KREAM in Pretoria. I had heard of this restaurant a while ago and have been wanting to try it but Pretoria is a little out of my way and so I never got around to visiting them. A big thank-you to Zomato for the invite!

Come Wine With Us

2 weeks ago I joined Come wine with us at Doppio Zero Pineslopes with KWV Brandy's finest portfolio ranging from the NEW Cruxland Gin as well as the "Worlds best Brandy" which is their exceptional 20 year old brandy. We were also treated with a 3 course menu that was paired with the KWV reserve wine Range.

Taste Of Joburg 2015

Taste Of Joburg - The foodie event of the year, happened last weekend and I got to indulge in some pretty amazing treats!

The Whimsical Whisk

Cafe del Sol Botanico & The Landmark Cocktail Bar

I have been dying to try out Cafe del Sol Botanico for quite a while now and I was lucky enough to be invited to an exclusive media tasting! 

No-Bake Berry Cheesecakes

Earlier in the year I attended a media breakfast at Fresh Earth and absolutely fell in love with this little one stop health shop and cafe. The folks over at Fresh Earth were kind enough to offer me some ingredients to make a diabetic friendly cake for my birthday. Unfortunately with my broken foot I didn't manage to get to them in time and so I decided to make some little cheesecakes over the weekend instead.

Jenda

I recently paid Jenda in Monte Casino a visit. My friend Bianca from Hello Joburg took me along and we had a wonderful day at this lovely new restaurant. 

Zomato at Escondido

So as you may have noticed, I have really been neglecting my blog lately. This is not due to a lack of things to blog about but rather due to a lack of time. "I just don't have any time" is a fairly poor excuse as I believe that if you really want to do something you will make time. So basically, I have just been lazy and I'm sorry!

Tea Pigs

Allow me to introduce you to Tea Pigs!!! The brand was created in the UK in 2006 and has slowly made it's way to South Africa.

Baron Banting Menu

Fresh Earth

I recently  had the pleaseure of attending Fresh Earth's 10th birthday celebration breakfast. 

Zomato meet-up at Moyo (Melrose Arch)

Last week Zomato treated me and a few other foodies to a dinner at Moyo in Melrose Arch. I had a lovely time, as usual, and was very impressed in general with Moyo. With all the new and exciting restaurants popping up all the time I think people have forgotten about places like Moyo who really do put out a good spread and are definitey worth visiting!

Vovo Telo {Giveaway}

I recently visited Vovo Telo in Parkhurst for lunch with vouchers that Zomato had kindly given me. I'd heard so much about this franchise and I was looking forward to finally trying it out!
