GRAIN-FREE SEED CRACKERS

I made these crackers for breakfast this morning. I was craving something crunchy, crispy and just

Table Magazine and Grazia Magazine

Hello you

Its been a busy, fun and exciting time around here. Myself and this blog have been talked about in two publications and an email newsletter. I am more than thrilled - as publicity is always a blessing!
This blog post is my way of keeping track of any publicity for myself and to share with you what has been happening.

TABLE MAG: So first off here I am personally in the Table Magazine for my instagram account. I was blown away to be featured with international women of amazing standards when it comes to health and well-being. I am so chuffed to be 1 of the 5 (deliciously Ella and Sarah Wilson - are 2 to of the women I am alongside - WOW)

The Hungry Collection v2

Only great nourishing food.Sweet and awesomely healthy foods from around the web. Foods and treats I could definitely make and feel good about.

I hope you like it to....

....

So over the past few months I have been blessed to attend a variety of events. A few stood out that I thought I would share with you.

SUMMER

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately, Summer has definitely arrived!
Along with Summer comes the end of the year here in South Africa... including Christmas and New Years. WOW where has the year gone?

The pics above I took today and placed on my Instagram account :) cause how fun is life if you can't share it with others?

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to the end of things, like:

• The end of term is nearly here (no more school lunches and homework with the Kid) one more week left!!!

• End of ballet year (the photos I have been editing for the past 6 and a half months are finally finished) so no more lifting up and down twice a week.

Also with the ends are new beginnings, like summer holidays, getting up late, making ice cream, being out doors and summer foods = fresh salads, yummy fruit and smoothies! 

Can you tell Im happy about Summer?

Sorry for my giddyness ;)
Hope you are having a fabulous week

So what is your favourite thing about Summer?

ON HOLIDAY ... see you soon!

The husband is on leave so I am happily drinking coffee and wine tasting and ignoring regular life... as much as possible (there are still dishes but eating out means less of them :) YAY!

If you would like to see what I'm up to follow me on instagram (@bettybake) 
or twitter


See like this Caramel Mousse cake that I found at a nearby town Patisserie .... bliss!
Of course I Instagramed it!

My daughter actually ate it (it was wheat-free) but not before I photographed it and took a bite ;)

See you soon!

Judging, Tasting, Braaing, Advertising

On an unrelated note: Can you believe this was taken with my cellphone?

Sometimes I am at my happiest when I am at my busiest! This is not to be confused with my happiness while on holiday (relaxing and reading in a sunny spot in a foreign place)- that is THE ULTIMATE.
But when we have to do normal life with work during non-holiday times then I love being busy. It makes time fly. It also makes for easy writing and inspiration. BUT it also doesn't allow for much baking or photographing which = no recipe posts!!! Darn and sorry.

This month I am working on and looking forward to:

Judging: Being a food judge, this is a first for me but I am enjoying it thoroughly. Being asked to eat food at the V & A Waterfront in the Masters of the Trade Route Culinary Challenge  in which their restaurants are partaking to be the winner of the signature dish and title.  The fact that I get to eat at some of the restaurants and say what I think is even more fun than I thought it would be.

Advertising: I am so SUPER excited to have my first blog advertiser! I have been hoping for this day for so very long and now that it is here I am even more chuffed than I thought I would be. Please welcome yuppiechef to my side bar. Click the ad  - they have yummy kitchen equipment and I love their website so it was a natural choice to say yes to them. 


Tasting a Legend: I finally got to eat some of the legendary Chef Luke Dale Roberts food at The Potluck Club on Wednesday night all thanks to The Big Green Egg - a ceramic braai of sorts. All the food was cooked on their ceramic braai's and everything tastes so very yummy!  Which was very cool! I hope to own one - one day! To take a look at some of the food that I ate click here. (I chose the vegetarian option)


Farmers Market: My favorite market that I shop at weekly in Tokai every Saturday - The Earth Fair market opens in Noordhoek on a Thursday night (from 4pm onwards). Yay, I am looking forward to seeing how it will be - I am sure it will be the best of all their markets yet!

Instagram: I am loving Instagram and post photos on there most days. I never thought that a cellphone app would be as fun as this! search for me on Instagram @bettybake :) or you can look on your computer using an online website called webstagram or Statigram


I still check on my blog everyday and love reading the comments. So how are you? What are you looking forward to?
