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!

A constant battle that some of us face is getting to indulge on occasion while meeting our daily macro requirements. Pancakes are a great vehicle to meet some of your nutritional goals. You can add almost anything to your batter such as flax and chia seeds. This recipe is packed with protein and collagen which both help provide building blocks for your healthy skin, hair, nails, and muscles.

Recipe: Blend 1 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop collagen, 4 eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 2 bananas, and 1/4 cup cocoa. Combine until smooth and lumps are gone. Add 1/4 cup batter to the greased pan on medium-low heat. Cook until bubbles start to form, about 2 minutes, before flipping to the other stick. Stack on top of a paper towel. Once complete, transfer to plate and drizzled melted chocolate mixed with a bit of heavy cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
