Now that the new year has started the term Living Leaner that Mona started on her blog Wisewords, takes on a bit of a double meaning for me. In fact, it takes on a triple meaning… I’m no different then anyone else around the world who wants to get fit and healthy in the new [...]

Yes, you are reading that correctly! In – what seems like forever and is probably close to it anyway – I’ve finally managed to complete a Daring Cooks challenge again! Whoohoo!! I love doing those challenges but sometimes it is just too time consuming to keep up with everything and work at the same time. [...]

We all know those moments…. those moments when you realize those lovehandles can no longer be called ‘love’ handles, but are more going towards “terrible-fat” handles. That moment when your favorite pair of jeans all of a sudden feels like it has shrunk dramatically in the wash, or that moment when you look in the [...]

We get out of the boat and walk onto a barren piece of land, slightly confused as to what we are doing here. Across the barren patch of land awaits a tiny village. Our guide, a tiny Vietnamese woman, leads us through small alleyways where little kids peer curiously from around corners and start to [...]

I was first pointed to the book from Anjum Anand by Soma from the fabulous blog ECurry. If you haven’t checked out her blog you should. It has loads of Indian recipes and beautiful photos too. Anyway Soma gave a review of the new book by Anjum and I just had to get that book [...]

Last saturday I was all wrapped up in baking the entire day… Yes, the entire day.. I started early in the morning with grocery shopping as I needed some ingredients for this lunch. Then I think I began with making the Daring Bakers challenge for this month (more on that on the 27th!), I made [...]

O, haha… in case you think I have lost my mind… it’s not so bad really. I just couldn’t resist to name this post after the official Thai title. Probably not so weird sounding if your Thai (I hope not at least) but if you’re anything like me you have no clue what this recipe [...]

Did I tell you that I love Jamie? I did, didn’t I? O no… I can almost hear you thinking; not another rant about Jamie Oliver and how wonderful he is… lol… Well, I will not be doing that, but I will tell you that I think his Iphone app is just fabulous. I got [...]

Let me just start by saying that this is maybe not the most logical dish while in winter. It’s lovely and refreshing, but also… it is supposed to be eaten cold, so if you’re in a summery country right now, this might just be the soup for you. Or if you’re like me – trying [...]

I was all excited when I heard from the lovely Ivonne from the Daring Kitchen that I would get to review a cookbook for the Daring Kitchen. The book she picked for me is called “Perfect for two; perfect meals for pairs” and it couldn’t have been more appropriate as Tom and I are with [...]
