Brownies 👏. Yip they are vegan, gluten free, holistic, dairy free (vegan), sulphur free, non GMO, BS free etc etc etc 😏😅😜🙃 and YES they hold every perfect characteristic of their traditional counterpart.
.
Not just a pretty picture.
.
Oh and the are packed with 🥒(baby marrows 😏) just because I could.

Roasted cauliflower leaves have become my new thing for the year 😍 (this is why⬇️). .
Cauli leaves are SUPER under rated and never really thought of much more than compost or wastage, let alone as a great snack or side for dinner but really they SHOULD BE (insert confident and kinda sassy finger snap). .
If you toss Cauli 🥬 in a little oil, season (lovingly) and roast on a high temperature (like 200°C - 220 °C) for 15 - 20 mins the thick stems become juicey, meaty and VERY moreish, while the leaves, that are fairly hardy and pretty inedible raw, crisp up and take on this lacey, delicate texture.
.
Then you take all of that goodness combine it with a smokey red pepper sauce, chilli oil and a little yoghurt (full cream or vegan) and you get textural, flavour heaven. All from this underappreciate, often forgotten or unwanted gem from one of the cheapest and forgiving veggies, the cauliflower 😏☺️.

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

I love how romantic I can make my life on insta look when it is pretty much everything but that but that😱😂🙃!
.
I was in Hackney a couple weeks back and didn't really know where I was (I'm a bad explorer 😅) on a coffee shop hoppin mission.
.
I didn't accidently wander in to this gorgeous plant cafe, I RAN IN COMPLETE PEE PANIC (don't judge me, I'm not the only one).
.
So this is a message to all my friends (you know who you are) that want to open up a gorgeous jungle like cafe.... Make a GIANT sign, like HUGE, with flashing lights to the bathroom or you will get crazy espresso fueled customers like I was coming in, ackwardly dancing around begging for the bathroom. True story, too often 🙆🙈.

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!
