This easy pork soup with lily flower has been one of my favorite soups to make since giving birth to little James. Soup is highly treasured during postpartum recovery in China, because it provides good hydration with electrolytes. And it helps the mom consume a lot of protein and fiber, which are both important for increasing milk supply and regaining strength after childbirth. Most of the soups also include vegetables and herbs that have medicinal properties to recover the Qi....

I know that for those of you living in the Northern Hemisphere, hot chocolate (or cocoa) is synonymous with Christmas. But to be honest, here in South Africa there’s nothing I want less than hot chocolate on a hot Summer’s day during the festive season. However, I am always so envious of your holidays with the fires roaring and snuggling under fluffy blankets with cups of hot chocolate so I lived vicariously through you and created my four ultimate hot chocolates....
Look, I won’t lie to you. When I first started my blog, my photographs and styling were horrendous. So bad, in fact, that I have constant cringe moments that some of those images are still on the blog (psst…they’re all the way at the back so don’t bother going to look for them. No really, don’t!). And by no means am I calling myself a food styling and photography expert but I think I’ve learnt a whole heck of a lot over the last 5 years of playing with my food and that’s why I’ve decided to give you a few tips for basic food styling for food bloggers....
It’s safe to say there’s more healthy no bake snacks that any other category on this blog. What can I say…snacking is a dear hobby of mine!

Gimme a nourishing bar with brain-boosting nuts and seeds, heart-healthy oats, and sweet, crunchy add ins [that I easily can slice, freeze, and call it a day]....
What are fried wontons? Fried wontons are a special type of dumpling made with a square wrapper, deep fried until delightfully crispy, and typically enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish. The crispy wrapper has a really satisfying (and loud!) mouthfeel and the flavor inside is a very familiar pork and shrimp filling. You’ve probably seen wontons in soup, and they’re most commonly served like this. I do love a good wonton soup, but some places let the wontons get soggy and slippery, and that can make wontons seem less than ideal....
Updated March 26, 2019 On Fridays, I like to make myself a “special” lunch. It is my day off and my day to eat lunch at home. I usually make salad, soup, or a veggie hummus sandwich. Nothing too complicated, but tasty. I recently created a new favorite sandwich-Grilled Cheese and Pear with Red Onions and Fresh Rosemary. My pears were starting to brown-that is what inspired my sandwich. I used Bosc pears-I sliced them and brushed them with a little agave nectar....
Hasselwhat potatoes? Don’t worry, I also didn’t know what hasselback potatoes were at first. When I was growing up, my mom used to make these potatoes all the time but she used to call them “Concertina potatoes” and let’s face it, that is a much better description of them but whatever the name, these were the potatoes of my childhood. When my mom and dad were in the mood for something a little fancier than a plain baked potato, they would pull out a knife and slice neat slices into said potato before generously seasoning it with salt, pepper and probably some kind of barbecue spice because my dad loves his barbecue spice....

I’m kind of really into Brussels sprouts. Fresh in a vegan caesar Brussels salad, simply sautéed in olive oil, roasted with maple syrup and balsamic… there are so many delish ways to get your sprout on. ‘Tis the season! Also am I the only one who pronounced them “Brussel sprouts” for the first half of my life?

Updated March 04, 2020 A few weeks ago, I went out to lunch with some friends. I told my guys they had to fend for themselves. Our fridge was stocked, so I wasn’t worried. I knew they could find something to eat. When I got home, my boys were finishing up their lunch. No, they didn’t order pizza…although, Josh has done that a few times:) They were eating homemade Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup....
