    Gosh, already one week down of Ramadan. This year’s fast is going quite well – I’m less productive than usual but I don’t let it go to my head so much. The month usually goes by so fast, so I’m glad I’m doing my best at still acomplishing all the tasks I need to do.

I grew up in Morocco where having tomatoes at home is like having bread or water: it is just so obvious. I also thought everyone else in the world…

    The Best Banana Bread Recipe

    If you follow my instagram, you probably know how much I love bananas, and banana bread. It’s most definitely in my top 3 favorite desserts.

I always keep some bananas with me at home, some frozen to quickly threw into a smoothie or to make banana “ice…

These brownies I made are soft, moist, and just the perfect brownies texture. I also added some chocolate chunks, and when they melt the brownies become gooey and all 😍 Ok, I really need to some being too graphic, and get straight to the recipe! Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup softened…
