Maxine, a South African food blogger living in Brussels (Belgium) for almost a decade… excitedly heading towards 40… and realising that FOOD in all its glory is pure and blissful enjoyment! Definitely NOT skinny, with a REAL appetite and pretty sure that there is a 2nd stomach reserved for desserts and sweet treats. Sharing a home with HIM (aka the wonderful husband) and “Monkey” (first child born 2015 – aka Little Miss) – you can follow this journey through recipes, restaurants and all round love of food.
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend around food?
We celebrate major occasions (Birthday’s, Graduations, promotions, religious holidays like Easter & Christmas, etc) with food
We raid the fridge when we are sad… or bored… or just because it is there!
We meet friends for breakfast, brunch, coffee, lunch, drinks and dinner…
So this is sharing platform for recipes, restaurants and general food gathering experiences.
Bon appetite!

Thanks poppet!!!
I am LOViNG this…well done hunni!!!! think Food Network should give u ur own show 🙂
oooh – wouldn’t that be nice 🙂
Found your blog via LipGlossIsMyLife. I have to commend you on being brave enough to accept not being skinny altho I bet you are fab. I’m also past the 30-oh-no’s and find resisting yummy food more challenging than a shoe sale. Not sure I want to read about your delish treats – don’t need more temptations in my life;) *groan*- but it all looks so good. Thank you for honesty:) xxx
ps: love the lashes:)
Thanks Clouds … I follow your exploits via Leigh & Karisa’s blogs… and I would be even LESS skinny if i had to attend all those glam parties (more temptations of canapes and champagne… ba – my resistance levels are low :))
And on the topic of shoes… I love them too – especially since it doesn’t matter if i ate one or six cupcakes the night before… they always fit!!
xxxx
Exactly!!! One of my favorite quotes is, ” it doesn’t matter how many inches you gain or lose; you’ll always fit into your shoes”. :))))
Cool blog! American expat here living just south of you in Luxembourg. I look forward to reading more!

Hi,
I share two things with you , first I’ve lived some time in south africa (Paarl) and I love this country and secondly I’m a real food lover .
That’s why , my associate and myself love your blog and would like you to test or foodlover website.

Try it, you will be fan . Let me know if you want to test our new service.
Hi ! I nominated you for a Liebster award. This pretty immature concept is all explained in my post, but I am ashamed to say I presumed you also speak French. If it is not the case and you feel like ‘playing the game’, let me know and I will translate it for you! Keep on posting those great recipes!
