Blueberry Health Muffins

Blueberry Health Muffins

I am a sucker for a special and subsequently, I love it when items are in season because they are really cheap so I stock up on them. Blueberries are wonderful because they freeze beautifully and can be used the whole year round. Most recipes account for people using frozen Blueberries. The added bonus is that these are kind of healthy.

BLUEBERRIES HAVE A LOW GLYCAEMIC INDEX AND ARE HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS. THEY ARE NATURES ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND HELP FIGHT INFLAMMATION IN THE BODY

After moving to Cape Town – I had a good look at my pantry and realised I have some ingredients that are almost too old to use so before they got bad I wanted to use them. One of these ingredients was Wheat Bran. This is how this recipe came about. Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I have to have Indian blood in me or maybe I was Indian in a past life as I love Indian food so much and adore their beautiful clothing and inspiring culture. India is definitely HIGH on my bucket list but until then I will continue to enjoy yummy tasty Indian food.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

  • The first time I had oysters they were super fresh straight out the sea in the Transkei. I was 16 and I was so scared with what they tasted like the oyster just slipped down my throat - I never even tasted it. โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
The second time I had oysters was in Langebaan at @bella_niehaus Langtafel (those were pure magic - I still dream about that meal that day!)โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Ever since then I have been hooked (hahaha fishy joke) and I love them. When I was asked to photograph some oyster specials at @maresolcapetown it was torture staring at these fresh oysters BUT they kindly let me enjoy them at the end of the shoot.YAY!!!โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If you are in Cape Town you must go past @maresolcapetown and sit at the water's edge at the V&A Waterfront. It is the perfect place for any meal.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
