Let’s talk about my Refreshing Coconut Pineapple Mango Smoothie. For starters let me just tell you how easy this is….It takes just 10 minutes to prepare, and that’s including the time to peel and slice the pineapple and mango, so if you do this the night before and store your fruit in the fridge overnight, in the morning (or at snack time) this smoothie would take a couple of minutes to whizz up.
I’m all about simple tasty food that can be made relatively quickly without sacrificing how delicious it looks or tastes. This Chicken Skillet hits all the right notes for me, and I’m sure it will for you too!
One bowl and one pan to wash up once you’re finished cooking, and a scrumptious and nutritious meal on the table that, by the way, LOOKS SO amazing no one could resist!!

I’m not sure I’ve ever walked through such a big, beautiful forest-y garden as this one at Makaranga Garden Lodge…So lush and green with little dams and waterfalls everywhere you look.

A completely healthy Granola recipe to get excited about! As the weather has warmed up here I’ve found that my morning ritual of cooked oats with fresh fruit has become a bit heavy, or maybe just too warm to have for breakfast when the weather is so hot and humid.

A delicious & versatile creamy Pesto Sauce. This sauce is the Bees Knees!! I don’t think I’ve ever used that expression before, so this sauce must be GOOD! Believe me, it’s amazing!!

It’s by far the easiest way to make the perfect Christmas cake. Here’s a…
