MOM'S SAVOURY CHEESE MUFFINS
How amazing do these look? on the weekend I stayed over at my mom so that I could study and have some company. We decided to make these beauties! Ten to fifteen minutes in the oven!
We added fresh thyme, chilli flakes and cheese! Easy and so delicious!
FRIDGE SALAD
I am obsessed with salad and really enjoy making and creating new ones. I think they are incredibly cost effective and a great way to load up on veg. This salad I literally threw together with the contents of my fridge. I also added tinned lentils which are a great source of protein. I drain the brine and rinse them well. I also love green beans, so I usually put them in a bowl with hot water in the microwave for a minute. So there it is! Fridge salad 101! Everything in this salad is stored in my fridge and lasts a long time so I don't need to stoke up all the time.
OAT BRAN BREAKFAST
Super easy to make and totally delicious Oat bran is my new favourite. It is usually used as an add-in to oats or shakes, but I enjoy it as is. All you need is a few spoons fills in a bowl, I then add hot water and let it sit. Next, I stir in a bit of vanilla essence and then add cinnamon and grated apple! Another good one is nuts or bananas, makes for a hearty breakfast in winter!

I am a huge fan of food! And an even bigger fan of fruit and veg. Shopping for one can get rather pricey and also rather boring. Years ago my mom used to get an organic crate but we stopped because a lot of the things were a surprise every week and often filled with things we didn't eat. Then my friend Brigid told me about Wild Organics (same place my mom used to get the crates form). She said she was really impressed so I went to check out the site...and..WOW.
You have three options, the mini bag R100, the standard bag R150 and the made-to-order bag. R200I opted for the mini bag. Every week you get something different and delicious. The best part is, you can now swap out what you don't like and replace with a fruit or veg of the same value. This is what this weeks mini bag consists of:
To order you simply register on the site and follow the steps. You pay by EFT and collect from a variety of collection points around the peninsular. I actually split the contents of the bag with my mom, ( so works out to R50 each) so basically double what you see (except for the beetroot-that is a full bunch). The site also offers hints and tips and they also sell cheeses, breads, dried fruit, bottled good and more!
here is my portion of the bag and she took half. The fruit and veg is obviously organic so it does not come out all perfect, which is actually what you want. Check out the website to learn more about the process and the organic farming they use. I swapped out my celery for leeks and I am really happy with the result, best part was everything smells really fragrant and fresh! So if you live in a flat or can plant your own wonderful organic garden then this may be the way to go.
