Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

This is an easy nut spread to make if you are just learning. It is not at thick as store bought Nutella, but it tastes very similar. It is probably a very good thing that hazelnuts are not super cheap, otherwise, we would make this a lot more often than we do.

Purple Cabbage Salad

Roaming the grocery store one day, Andrea tried a sample of their purple cabbage salad. She liked it so much, that she asked if we could please buy some for lunch. We told her to get some.

Later, we attempted to duplicate the recipe. The dressing is the not the same, but we get many compliments on this very easy recipe.

The ingredient amounts are not exact. Adjust them to your liking. Adding warm honey mustard sauce is great too.

Luphuftu (Mealie Pap)


A simple dish we learned in Swaziland.  It is a little tricky to master the perfect cooking time, but once made a few times, you can tell if it is done by how it smells.  Great served with vegetable stew.

If you have leftovers, reheat the next day for breakfast.  We enjoy it with butter and maple syrup.
