I love the tiny feet of my daughters - they're soft, round and perfect. Those little feet have so far to go, so many kilometers to travel. As individuals, our girls have such amazing adventures to embark on and I will do my best to never hold them back, remembering always that their lives and loves are their own to discover. I will guide them as best as I can, I will love them with all of my heart and I will encourage them to be the people they want to be.

DIVINE soup recipe

I am not a fundi in the kitchen. I don't generally enjoy spending time in it, and as a result I find meal planning to be such a chore. This month I bought the Your Family magazine (this mag has become really relevant to my lifestyle, and I'll always admit a certain loyalty to the magazine, since it was the first one I worked on), and immediately decided to try two of the recipes featured, one of which was a chunky goulash soup.

So S and I had some fun in the kitchen last night - now that would be having fun cooking, so get your mind out of where it was :-)

This recipe is so easy - and so yummy!!

Here it is. Enjoy! (was so busy concentrating on the recipe that I didn't even think to take pics, but believe me when I say that it looks good!)

Instead of using separate onions and tomatoes, I used two tins of tomato & onion mix as I already had those in the cupboard - so I have changed the original recipe a little to suit.

Serves 4 / Prep 15 mins / Cook 1 hour 30 min

1 tsp olive or avocado oil
500g beef chunks
2 x tins of tomato & onion mix
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1tsp sweet paprika
3.5 cups (875ml) beef stock (we used two stock cubes to 875ml of water)
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
salt and freshly ground black pepper
sour cream and chopped chives to serve
