I reckon pretty much everyone can walk. You learn to walk from around 9 months. Lets say 12 months average - so by the age of 10, you will have been walking for 9 years. Thats a lot really - and considering walking is our main mode of small transportation (think around the home, at […]

I love red cabbage. I have German origins so red cabbage cooked the traditional way is one of my favorite foods! Its very warming and comforting and one of the best side dishes to accompany a roast. However it is a bit of an acquired taste due to the vinegar and sugar in the dish! A […]

I love smoothies. But I wouldn’t buy one. Why? Because I don’t know what they put in them. And I’m afraid if I ask, they’ll put all sorts of things in! So I prefer to make my own. Its cheaper, probably fresher, and I know exactly whats in them.

I just spent 40 minutes on a stationary bike. I cycled about 12.2 km in that time - so I wasn’t really pushing myself. Actually, I alternated between talking to a friend and reading a magazine. So it was rather laidback. However, it still burns calories! And I was aching when I got off! I […]

I’ve wondered for a long time about kefir. What on earth is it? Where can I buy it? Should I consume it? Does it taste nice? Why would I want to consume it? Perhaps the biggest question for me is ‘what is it’? Apparently its really good for you. It has heaps of amazing properties […]
