Cancer fundraiser a ‘winning recipe’
The community showed up in droves to support the Southern Africa Animal Cancer Association’s (SAACA) Lace-Up for Cancer fundraiser at the Wild Coast Sun last Saturday morning.
It kicked off at 07:30, as South Coasters embarked on a legacy walk through the open venue.
At the pool area, a morning and afternoon of fun-filled and interactive activities such as aqua zumba, yoga, garden meditation, fusion dance and acupuncture took place.
The provincial director of SAACA and event organizer, Madeleine Pretorius, is grateful for the community’s support. She said that people from the UK bought tickets to offer support, although unable to attend. Some 283 tickets were sold, which indicated the success of the event.
SAACA is one of 45 organizations that falls under the Cancer Alliance. The original Lace-Up event took place in Cape Town on February 3, which inspired Madeleine to host one on the South Coast.
“I took on the challenge,” she explained.
Pop-Tarts asks Taylor Swift for homemade recipe for Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Taylor Swift isn’t selling out stadiums for “The Eras Tour” or at Kansas City Chiefs games supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce, she’s baking goodies.
Swift showed off her baking skills by making the Chiefs offensive linemen homemade Pop-Tarts, Head Coach Andy Reid revealed at the NFL Combine.
“He likes to cook, so he made the offensive linemen these homemade Pop-Tarts,” Reid said. “He didn’t give me one, and the offensive linemen definitely didn’t give me one.”
Reid didn’t say when he made the Pop-Tarts for the team.
For years, Swifties have known she likes to bake. She posted her handwritten cookie recipe on Tumblr years ago. You can find that recipe on FOX4.
Since Reid shared that Swift made homemade treats for the team, now the Pop-Tarts company is asking Swift to drop the recipe.
Pop-Tarts posted on Instagram asking Swift for Taylor’s version of the recipe. The company said it would double a $12,500 donation to Harvesters, a Kansas City food bank, if she posted the recipe.

This cheesy, springy recipe has been a fan-favorite ever since I put it on the menu of my restaurant. It’s deceptively simple, and everyone has fun making this decadent dish. It’s sure to become one of your go-to recipes.

This recipe simply celebrates the beautiful union of asparagus and Parmesan cheese. With the addition of the classic mustard vinaigrette, tarragon and diced hard-boiled eggs, the bright yellow yolks bounce off the vibrant asparagus and greens, creating a salad that is perfect for brunch with friends, or as a side to a piece of grilled fish or chicken.
