Saturday - best started with a trip to the OZCFM (before the crowds), a smoothie from the @shakedownsmoothies, followed by a run and a creative kitchen session 😍🏃🙌.
.
Today I've got a day full of recipe development, friends and feasting. Ending with a bit of easy prep so we can start tomorrow off with a big stack of GF berry crumpets 😬😍🍓.

WE ARE CURRENTLY PLAYING THE DINNER GAME....
.
Even though I am a qualified chef, and I work with food all day, and its want I think 98% of my day and even though I love food and all things food FOR SOME REASON even I go blank on what to make for dinner 😳😅🙈.
.
So a while back I started playing the DINNER GAME with Dave, it was formally known as "baby I'm hungry, yes me too, what do you want, I don't know, me neither, and so on..."
.
The game helps us
- save time, I make it work with our day ie how much time we have and it means
- we are both happy and excited about dinner because it's what we both wanted. (Dave is very fussy at times but doesn't know what he want so he is not always easy to please, my clients are way better 😂).
- We often don't have to buy much cause he often has very similar answers 😅.
.
Tonight we have changed things up and are playing the "where will there not be load shedding so we can charge our laptops and work/eat" game because this is South Africa and its a little thing call Load shedding that we forgot about. 🙃😳🙈

One of my happy places 🐥☕🍰, Swan Cafe.
.
Its a real gem of Cape Town, one of the best places to receive exceptional service that is far above the rest and an ambiance that never let's you leave.
.
Swan has also been my escape from one of the biggest #reallife experiences that I have been dealing with and that comes with all the joy of working as a freelancer.
LONELINESS.
.
To be very real with you, I'm very fortunate as I really enjoy my own company and have never truly struggled with that feeling of loneliness like some do but eventually it does start to become present. There is nothing wrong with it, acknowledging it, speaking about it or sharing the experience we have with it. I have learnt over the past year to really enjoy my own company and some quiet time when I get it but to also keep it in balance with a little outside world interaction as well😅🌍👫🚴🏼‍♂️🚣🏼‍♀️💃🕺🌞.
.
Side note: I keep seeing everyone sharing their plans for their insta content this year and feel a little... Bad? for not doing the same. TBH with you, I can't promise what this year will bring, the exact content to be expected or its schedule on my page but what I can promise, is that it will be real, informative, sometimes funny and always straight from the heart.
.
With love from,
Frances

And then for the shortest time, the sun came out to say 👋during some quiet time with a minty cup of matcha 🍵. I still can't believe its my last day in London for the year! First stop Joberg and then to CT 😍I go. I can't wait to see everyone and get back to some exciting WERK!

Always a treat to spend time with stunning humans on the weekend, especially when it involves decadent vegan waffles from @jessyswaffles!
.
We had the la gringa with smokey coconut chips, guac and vegan mozzarella, a cinnamon crunch waffle, with sweet potato icecream and a my sweet captain between 3 of us.
.
I literally rolled home 😅 but so good!

All we do is brunch.

One of my favourites. Taken in Nice just before @d_dig_giddy_dave and I sat on the light grey pebble beach for a coffee and some welcomed Vitamin D ☺️.

I'VE GOT NEWS!
To start off, here's prettier version of what my breakfast, snacks, often my lunch and sometimes dinners have been looking like the past few weeks ☺️.
.
I realise that I haven't been as active with my socials as I would like to but that's because I have been working on something quite special, a product that has turned into my new baby and passion.
.
Instagram family, it's time to introduce you to @theplantbaserange. It's my range of
- Naturally gluten free
-Vegan friendly
- Interchangeable premixes which can also be enjoyed as a quick protein porridge!
.
I will update you as things happen but for now, go check out this week's news on my stories.I would really love to share this new part of my life with you and have you part of my PLANT BASE family.
