I am terrified of saying goodbye. Goodbye to people, to objects, to situations. And for some reason it makes no difference to me whether I am saying goodbye to something good or something bad. It is the ‘letting go’ that is the problem. It was my birthday over the weekend. And as usual, I got weird…

Apple Slices with Cinnamon Almond Butter
As I have continually expressed, I have a long history of weird food behaviour and food obsessions. Yet there has never been an obsession greater than my affinity with peanut butter. There have many occasions where I have eaten half a jar, in some crazed frenzy, and thought well, that’s dinner taken care of. This behaviour is…
Fruit and Nut Tabouli
My life, over the last six months, has been tipped upside down and thrown on it’s head. Hence my lack of commitment to Eat This My Friend. Without delving too deeply into my personal life, I discovered that in times of total stress I completely lose my appetite. I have not been in the mood to…
Pumpkin + Lentil Salad with Caramelised Onions
My friends and family constantly request my recipes. So much so I began writing a little cookbook, and later, started this blog. Last week I was asked by someone very dear to me, for the recipes of the 3 meals I make most often – my Sausage and Butter Bean Cassoulet, Zucchini Pasta, plus my Pumpkin +…
Falafel Wraps with Hummus, Salad + Garlic Sauce
These are a bit of a ‘cheats’ falafel, as I have used tinned beans and chickpeas. The recipe is very loose, I am not one for measuring exact amounts of chopped herbs and the like. Use it as a guide. I used brown rice flour, as i made these for my lil sis, who has…
Stuffed Mushrooms with Ricotta + Chilli
I am the only one in the house who likes mushrooms. Today I found myself home alone for dinner, and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. I made myself something I don’t get to eat very often. I grabbed a pile of large field mushrooms from the grocer, a tiny bird’s eye chill, and a wedge of…
Simple Turkish Eggs
As you may already know, I tend to get a little obsessive over things. I have even had a period of egg obsession (as explained in this post) and now I am in the midst of another. Much to my dismay, kitchen time has be very limited of late – I seem to be eating…
Spiced Pumpkin and Pecan Muffins
Second week in a row I am posting a recipe for cakes/muffins. Apologies if it’s a bit boring – it is just what I happen to be cooking.. I was inspired this week by a combination of things. There was the lovely @inkedincolour who posted a gorgeous recipe for pumpkin cakes, they looked incredible and I was…
Roasted Carrots with Couscous + Minted Yoghurt
I started university this week. It is a full-time, 4 year degree. Somehow I need to find the time, and slot it in amongst work hours, family duties and blogging. Don’t be surprised to find the recipes are even simpler, and quicker to prepare. Don’t be surprised to find less photos per post, and…
Choc – Peanut Butter Shake
I’ve never been mad about smoothies and protein shakes. There are many smoothie/shake/juice lovers out there, having one for breakfast every morning. I am not one of those – because it is a beverage. It’s definitely a psychological thing for me. I need eat food, to chew, in order for me to feel satisfied. You place all…
