Healthier No-Fat Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls gotta be one of my favorite recipes of all – I used to love visiting my local cinnabun from time to time. They’re also super easy to make at home – I have made a recipe a few days ago and you can check it out. I have also been working on a healthier version, and I think this quite sealed the deal. I drizzled a little bit of icing sugar mixed with 1 tbsp of milk and butter on top but you can instead use any healthier option such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup 🙂
Cinnamon Rolls
If using the milk straight from the fridge, warm it up the milk a little bit (not too much so as not to kill the yeast) Mix it with the yeast In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt Gradually add the milk+yeast mixture Add the softened butter Add the egg Work the dough until you get a firm and soft ball. Cover and place in a warm area (such as the oven with the lights turned on) for one hour, (tip: you can place it inside a blanket to help it rise faster) After one hour, spread the dough to make a rectangular shape about 5-7 mm thick Spread…
Lemon Tart
Lemon tart is both my mom’s and my aunt’s favorite. Actually, whenever my mom makes it, my aunt just has to drop by and take half of it. No lie. My mom’s version is a bit more acid as she puts less sugar. This was my first attempt ever at making a lemon tart, and I gotta say I am quite happy with how it turned out. The filling is sweet and quite creamy as well. Hope you try it 🙂

Skinny Classic Cheesecake
People, rejoice. The cheesecake is back. Cheesecake is not especially my favorite dessert, and I’m starting to wonder why actually. This cheesecake was sweet, creamy, perfect. Do it. Do it. Do it. The secret with cheesecake is you can add fruits on top and then it feels healthier as fruits have nutrients (and some other stuff) in them. I was actually supposed to put peached on them, and even bought some canned peaches, but I then realized juicy blueberries look better on pictures (look does matter folks in food. Most of the time 🙄). I ended up eating the peaches, cause, damn! Canned peaches are good. So good.
Healthy Apple Crumble
Who else loves apple crumble ? I honestly love anything with apples, especially baked, and crumble with warm custard is one of my weaknessez. Now obviously, crumble is pretty much lots of butter and sugar so it’s good to twist the recipe from time to time – though I must say nothing beats the original recipe 😊 Hope you like this lighter version x [recipe-instructions] 1. Peel and dice the apple. Mix it with 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon then divide in 4 cupcake cups and place in a cupcake tray 2. Prepare the top of the crumble: mix the oats, sugar, butter, and applesauce, then…
Mini Strawberry Tarts with a Digestive Base
Anyone is as obssesed with Digestives as I am ? These easy to make mini strawberry tarts, with a Digestive base, might be exactly what you need. Strawberry tart and me is the longest running love story ❤ Among the childhood memories I cherish the most, is my parents buying me a strawberry tart from the bakery next to my school, after a long day. The bakery and the school are now closed, but strawberry tart is something I still like to eat whenever I get the chance. It’s cool that I know also get to twist recipes and modify the base. The best part of the tart is the…
Sugar Free Chocolate Brownies
I’m so happy because yesterday, I decided to use my new bought sweetener at 11pm and make a test recipe. I went for brownies and wasn’t deceived! These are chocolaty, melting, sweet but not too much, and guilt free 😊
Sunflower/Pumkin Granola Bars
Making things from scratch is cheaper, healthier, funnier, and smells better (who doesn’t like the fresh smell of a cake straight out the oven ? 😋). And man, that feeling of accomplishment if what you made ends up delicious. I made these bars yesterday very fast, I improvised and they ended up really good. Hope you’ll like them too!

Patriotic Popsicles (Strawberry/Blueberry)
To be honest with you guys, I was never a massive fan of ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, I do eat it when given the occasion and I find looking at ice cream cones pictures satisfying. However, I could stop eating it for the rest of my life 😌 However, with #popsicleweek and two national holidays coming up (Canada Day and the 4th of July), I thought let’s make some healthy popsicles. So there you go 🙂 Ingredients 1 1/4 cup yoghurt // 1 tbsp honey // 3/4 cup strawberries // 1/3 cup blueberries // 2 tsp lemon juice // 2 tsp sugar Instructions Wash the fruits and dice…
