I can’t believe I had never heard of acai till only about a year ago. Now I eat it whenever I can…especially now the weather is getting warmer! An acai bowl…full of frozen yummy goodness usually with some fruit and nuts…is the perfect way to start the day, or maybe for brunch! And a smoothie […]
On this day, just two years ago, I was in hospital, having my thyroid removed due to cancer. I remember it well but can’t complain…my surgery went well, I only had one night in hospital and my recovery was smooth. The worst bit was the sore throat from the breathing tube…I think I consumed my […]
My husband and I basically follow a Paleo diet and it works very well for us, especially as I suffer from food intolerances which makes eating out fraught with danger. So when we heard that there was a cafe that served a Paleo menu in Ballarat, we decided to check it out…and it was so […]

However, I think everyone else had the same idea as it was a long weekend….the cafes were either packed to the rafters with waiting times, or they were closed!

We recently headed to Northcote to go to a vintage sale…picked up two dresses and a skirt for $30…bargain! But I digress…after my successful vintage retail therapy, we headed along High Street for some brunch, and we ended up at Two By Two…they serve breakfast until 3pm… The staff were setting up for a 60th […]
We don’t eat what would be considered the usual breakfast of cereal and/or toast….what we make each morning is a very quick, and rather clever, mug muffin! Now, I can’t cook and I have to admit I don’t particularly like food in general because of my intolerances, but I do actually look forward to my […]
On our recent trip to Sydney, we stayed in the bohemian and colourful suburb of Newtown, which meant we had lots of interesting shops and cafes within easy walking distance. We had walked past the Vargabar Espresso a few times during our travels, as it is tucked away on a quiet corner just off King […]
