Hello! Welcome to Dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine, a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and lover of food and culture. I’m passionate about fusion cuisine, a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and traditions.

My approach is influenced by both Southern African and American cooking, shaped by my life experiences and reflected in the diversity of my recipes. I also focus on farm-to-table cooking, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. I believe food tastes best when it’s in season and close to its origin.

Travel plays a big role in how I cook and create. I love sharing my food adventures, from what I’ve eaten to where to eat, while discovering new flavors, cultures, and techniques that continue to inspire me.

I hope this space feels helpful and inspiring. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Happy cooking!

Salmon and Asparagus Omelette

Breakfast, Keto

A light breakfast can be an easy decision but sometimes tricky especially when you are seeking a healthy option. Applying the keto diet rules can help narrow down your options, and the omelette is a great vehicle for this. You can stuff or top it with vegetables, healthy fats like avocado, and protein like fish and poultry. This omelette is decked out with herbs and a dollop of coconut cream with a side of avocado, totally guilt-free and should give you a great energy boost. You can also make it if you feel hungry later on in the day.

Recipe: Beat 2 eggs with a tablespoon of coconut cream or sour cream, season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan until most of the egg liquid is firm, topping with bits of cheese and 1/8 cup asparagus tips, then add 1/8 cup shredded salmon on one side (the side you are going to fold over). Fold and cook for another 1-2 minutes, top with fresh thyme and cilantro.
