I Love Cooking, Fashion, Travel, Health and Wellness
Hello! – Sanibonani! – Kwaziwayi! – Bonjour! – Hola!
My name is Goodness Venge aka Goodie, a proud South African food lover living in the UK, and of course, a fashion lover. Someone once told me I have an eye for good clothes hahaha. So true, I can spot a bargain item the moment I walk into a shop!
This is a lifestyle blog, and I will try my very best to inspire you with my little knowledge of food, fashion, travel, beauty, health and family tips.. I am going to be posting anything and everything hoping to help one person at a time
About Me
I am a twin, 👩❤👩I’m a wife 😍😍, a mother, an aunt and soon to be… (drumroll). a GRANMAAAA!
My husband will be doing ALL the work on my website, and my daughter will be taking and recording videos and posting on social media. My boys will be critics and I’m going to be helping you.
I come from a family of fantastic cooks and I will also be sharing South African dishes. I will also be showing you how to make easy and healthy dishes and snacks, but also comfort foods (why not)
I simply love cooking all sorts of dishes and occasionally I do enjoy baking, especially desserts, but that love of baking has been passed on to my daughter who’s taken over the baking side.
Sadly, I’m not a fan of frozen food as I love freshly made home cooked food.
What I’ll be Sharing On My Blog
I will also be shopping. Shopping for you and me. Let’s do this!!
My love for traveling means I will share my learning from a lot of places I’ve visited around the world, both my past travels and future recommendations.
I also go to the gym. I love working out so I’ll be sharing the benefits and tips for going to the gym and basically doing your best to stay in shape.
Describe Yourself as a Meal, Goodness..
Fish and chips
I love fish and chips, the love and comfort it gives me it’s the love I always aim to give when I cook 😂😂😂🤣🤣
And Dessert??
Cheesecake and Cupcakes
What about a hot drink?
I’m not a fan of hot drinks but I would go with hot chocolate!
And cold drink?
Eish, that’s a tough one. I drink a lot of water, ice cold water, even in winter but occasionally enjoy a coke or grapetiser/appletiser
My Signature Dish?
I think I make the best Roast Potatoes!
Recipes Cooked or Baked!
Potatoes Roasted!
What’s the dream?
You know last year in January 2018 I wanted to start this channel but I had a lot to learn in that year but now I feel I’m ready!
My dream is to share my favorite recipes, health and fitness tips and ideas, travel ideas as well as share all events with family and friends and generally with people around the world. I also want to learn from other cultures, so lets share the good stuff people!
I believe everyone can cook and everyone probably has that one person, a helpful critic whom they can impress with new and exciting recipes.
This blog will help you step out and try one of the few things I post. Hoping to inspire you.
Much of the knowledge I share comes from my Mama.
My motto: A girl should have one or two recipes from her mama. Also some of the knowledge comes from Mama-in-law and family members. I am so thankful to have such amazing people in my life who generously share their rich knowledge of Cooking.
The ingredients I use are simple and easily accessible from any supermarket nothing too expensive
I have learned through my experience with arthritis that not all ingredients or foods are good for you, I learned to avoid certain foods, so I will also be talking about foods that helped me and foods that I avoided to ease the pain.
