    Pumpkin Latte

    Fall is my second favorite season. I love not only seeing orange and brown everywhere, but also how it becomes acceptable to spend evenings at home with a hot drink (to be fair, I’m a granny at heart so I’m at home with a hot drink, a good book and some comfy PJs pretty much every day of the year). Also, I love seeing pumking everything, everywhere.  I’m both a coffee and a tea lover, but sometimes it’s good to twist things a bit (I do that a lot, right ?). Hope you like this drink, was definitely good and I can’t wait to make it again x

    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.

    Peanut Butter Cupcakes

    Everytime someone tells me they hate peanut butter, I look at them with my eyes wide open. Yes yes, it’s full of fat and calories but then again, what would a PB&Jam toast be without peanut butter (a jam toast, I get ya). Anyways, the other day I was bored (understand procrastinating) and decided to use the PB powder I had recently bought. PB powder has got like a fourth of regular PB calories, so even though it doesn’t taste exactly like the real thing, it’s a good option for health conscious people or those who just love PB too much *cough* even though they’re allergic *cough* and wanna eat…

    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…

    Lemon Cake with Cream Cheese Glazing

    So…this happened. I’m in a “lemon phase”: I had the best dessert with lemom curd and graham crackers for my birthday, and I’ve been drinking crazy amounts of sparkling water with lemon drops lately (so so refreshing). This cake is moist, delicious, sweet, everything you want in a cake. Plus, lemons help with sore throat and help fight the flu. Just saying 😎 ​ [recipe-instructions] 1. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, pinch of salt and lemon zest. Mix well. 2. Add the beaten eggs, softened butter, lemon juice and gradually add the milk while stirring. 3. Grease a rectangular cake tin and bake for about…

    Cauliflower and Cheese Mini-Pancakes (Low-Carb)

    Basically, carbs are life but yes yes, low and no carb snacks can also be yummy 🙂 Take cauliflower for example. A vegetable not a lot of people love, but with the right spices and/or sauces, it can be super yummy. Here I added cheese, cause everyone loves cheese (I think) and it makes cauliflower less boring. I tend to put a minimal amount of salt as we grew up eatibg mostly salt-free food, but you can adjust the amount depending on your taste. Hope you like the recipe 🙂

    Oriental Chickpeas with Tomatoes

    I love simple meals (mainly because I have close to no patience when I’m hungry 😂) but the other day I felt like making something a little bit more sophisticated 😎 This chickpeas dish is full of flavor and can be taken on its own, as a side dish or with some basmati rice. Hope you like it!

    You guys! By now you probably know that sometimes, I try to bake something and i stead get something completely different but equally good.

Still got an amazing, decandent white chocolate cake my friends at the office all devored 😊
