Multiple reasons why I could never give up carbs…

Earlier this week I received a beautiful box of goodies from @tabufood, which included these delicious Tofu Burgers (available exclusively at @woolworths_sa).

Now despite not being a vegetarian, I’m always looking for alternative sources of protein and tofu is something that I definitely need to incorporate into more of our meals.

Benefits of eating tofu:

- Rich in protein, excellent meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans
- Low in calories and cholesterol-free, supports heart health
- Provides essential amino acids, iron, calcium, and magnesium
- Supports bone health and muscle function
- Contains isoflavones with antioxidant properties
- May reduce the risk of certain cancers and alleviate menopausal symptoms
- High in unsaturated fats, benefiting cardiovascular health

After a very long and exhausting week, loved coming home to a package from @sixdogsdistillery which included a bottle of their NEW Pinotage Stained Gin. Looking forward to experimenting with this one!

As it’s World Chocolate Day, thought I’d pull

As it’s World Chocolate Day, thought I’d pull this Death by Chocolate Cake recipe out from early 2022 when I was in the thick of mourning the loss of my estranged biological father.

2022 was a big year for me, and I think the reality of death and how big of an impact it had on me manifested into some of the decisions I made that year. Looking back on who I was then, I can honestly say that I was doing my best to live like someone who had absolutely nothing to lose. I was absolutely fearless, at times completely reckless, and funnily enough producing some of my best content…

Death By Chocolate Cake

If you’re into dark chocolate, fudge and don’t dig dry cake, then you’ve come to the right place. I baked this in a loaf pan, which admittedly wasn’t the best idea because the density of it led to it collapsing a bit on itself during the bake. I panicked a bit but thought “fuck it, it’s still going to be delicious”, and it was. If you aren’t prepared to play fast and loose when it comes to cake-baking as I do, then rather split this mixture between two cake tins to be safe.

What you’ll need:

100g dark chocolate chips
3/4 cups freshly brewed, hot coffee
1 egg
1/3 cup sunflower oil
3/4 cup Greek yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla
1.5 cups light brown sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Ganache Glaze

1/4 cup double cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon golden syrup
30g butter
110g dark chocolate chips

✨Spiced Honey Nut Granola ✨ Granola was some

✨Spiced Honey Nut Granola ✨

Granola was something I made every other week while living in Shanghai, as I could never find a decent version of it, and wasn’t too keen on eating ones which were laden with sugar and palm oil. The beauty of this homemade version is the ability to mix and match nuts and seeds depending on what you like. Feel free to substitute the honey with maple syrup if you don’t have any on hand.

What you’ll need:

2 cups rolled oats 1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup almonds 1 cup cashew nuts 1/2 cup sesame seeds
2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp salt 1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup honey 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup water

How to make it:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mix and set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract while whisking to emulsify.
4. Remove from the heat and whisk in the water.
5. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well to combine.
6. Spoon the wet granola mixture onto the baking sheet and bake in the oven for around 10-15 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven and toss to make sure the granola is evenly baking.
8. Place back in the oven and continue baking, removing every 10 minutes or so to mix but making sure it’s not catching.
9. Bake until it’s smelling toasty and golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in a jar for up to 2 months.

Two things:

1. RIP to my Canon M6 (jokes not jokes)
2. Very happy that my next shipment of @metalabofficial is on its whey (pun intended).

Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Monday! 🫶🏽
