Rooibos Tea Latte

Rooibos tea latte

As some of you may know I had to give up drinking coffee a while back. I still have it occasionally here and there if I’m out somewhere and usually it’s an espresso, but I stopped buying and drinking coffee at home a while back. I do sometimes miss having it in the mornings, especially now that the weather is cooling down but luckily I also really love my tea!

Recently I was at our local supermarket and they had a whole bunch of different teas on sale so I grabbed some and now I have a cupboard full of teas to enjoy! My favourite lately has been roobios tea… which as it turns out is a great caffeine free alternative to coffee.

My latest obsession has been to make roobios tea lattes and now that pumpkin season is here I’ve been adding pumpkin spice to the mix and it tastes GREAT!

So if you’re even in the mood for something different or you’re trying to reduce your coffee intake then give this latte a shot! [Read more…]

This post is coming to you from the past 😉 It’s midday Sunday here and even though I don’t usually write posts on weekends I was in the mood to write one today. That and the fact that as of tomorrow our place is going to have no furniture in it! Yep… tomorrow they’re coming to take all our furniture to ship it over to the UK, it’s officially official!!!

I have no idea how we’re going to get by without any furniture for the next 10 days but somehow we’re going to have to make it work. I’ll be writing blog posts sitting on the floor of our bedroom 😐 Oh and no TV either which means we’ll be watching stuff on the laptop. Hmmmm this should be interesting!

On another note I have made a return back to the gym. As you know after I had my accident it was hard for me to move around and once I started to feel better I wanted to re start my exercise on a lighter note so I started walking outside again. Anyway in the last couple of days I’ve started back at the gym again since I finally feel like I can move around like normal again.

Plus it helps when you have brand new shoes to wear! I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE Merrell shoes! Actually Joe and I both love them they are extremely comfortable and we have been doing the whole barefoot shoes thing for a while now so are used to wearing them. I can’t do regular trainers/runners anymore. If you’re considering getting barefoot shoes then I really recommend Merrells.

Plate of almond butter parsnip fries

In one of my recent posts I mentioned that I had quit sugar with the help of this book. As I mentioned in that post I absolutely love this cookbook! So far everything I’ve made from it has turned out great and there’s still SO much more for me to get through!

The cookbook is actually divided into sections.

  • Breakfast Ideas.
  • Smoothies.
  • Sweet Stuff.
  • Savoury Snacks.
  • Sweet Treats.
  • Green + Clean Meals.
  • Sugar-Free Kids.
  • Sauces.
  • A Final Cup of Tea.

Each section has a myriad of recipes and on top of this there are handy tips and tricks throughout the book for sugar-free eating.

So yesterday I decided to make one of the recipes out of the ‘Savoury Snacks’ section and made the ‘Totally Nutty Parsnip Fries’ which involves parsnip and almond butter and came out DELICIOUS! [Read more…]
