    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…

    Boston Guide : 24 hours in Boston

    A good english friend of me, Charlotte, organised a BBQ for her upcoming birthday and I received an invite via Facebook. Boston was always at the back of my mind, but I never put a day on it. After a few hours of hesitating, I finally decided to hurt my debit card and get a bus ticket to Boston. I only spent two days there, but absolutely fell in love with the city and its beautiful architecture. Boston is special in that, while you feel like you’re living in a big multicultural city, a lot of main sights are at a walking distance. The city has also put into place…

    Simple Vegan Pancakes (without banana)

    I love pancakes. Among my fondest childhood memories are those week end mornings where my mom would make us giiigantic pancakes. Then we would eat them with a honey-butter mix, or some Nutella. These were sooo delicious. My mom and dad themselves are so into pancakes, especually Aunt Jemma’s one, cause the smell reminds them of their days in the States. Nothing beats a fluffy pancakes, with looots of syrup on top. Oh wait, maybe fruits AND syrup on top beats that up. Anyways, enough talking, here is an easy vegan recipe of pancakes. As it’s vegan, everyone can eat it, no excuse 🙄 Ingredients (makes 6-8) 1 1/4 cup flour…

    4 Handy Advices to Use in the Kitchen

    Using the kitchen can be messy; trust me, I bake. But I have also learned a few things along the way to make the whole experience more enjoyable. Hope you put these into place and cook succulent dishes 🙂 1- Wash the dishes as you cook/bake It is tempting to leave everything until the end – but you’ll just end up with a mountain of dirty plates and molds in the sink. If you have a dishwasher, put the washable dishes in there. If not, try to wash everything you use as soon as possible. Plus, you won’t have to suffer trying to remove 2– Place food in freezer bags…

    Msemen

    “Msemen” or “rghaif” are a moroccan “crepe” made with mainly fine semolina. We usually eat them with a mix of melted butter and honey, but they’re good on their own as well, especially when still warm. Since I came to Canada, I like to put maple syrup on them. What’s nice with those crepes is that they can be veganized (if you use margarine or vegan butter) and only need 3 or 4 ingredients: fine semolina, flour, butter or margaribe, and sunflower oil (I personally only used margarine). When I lived in London, it was impossible to find them anywhere, and I wished I had tried making them sooner as…

    Breakfast on muffins

    Breakfast is the coolest meal of the day, hands down. Particulary when english muffins are involved (I just love them so much).

It’s also perfect as a post-workout snack.  Hope you like it 🙂 Ingredients 1 english muffin //  1 large egg // 2 tbsp of milk // a pinch of salt // 1/4 of an apple // 2 tbsp of cream cheese or ricotta cheese // 1 tsp of honey // 1 tsp of sunflower seeds Instructions Spread some butter on the muffins, then place them on a…
