Nordic Breakfast Toast
I’m a massive proponent of brunch. To be honest, brunch >>>> dinner any day. I went on a date recently and my date had a nordic breakfast, which inspired me to make this toast. So much more colorful than cereals, and so full of proteins and all the good stuff 👌 Also. If you look closely, I may or may not have overcooked the poached eggs, so yeah. Still yummy 😎. But don’t overpoach your eggs.
Pumpkin Seeds and Almond Porridge
Porridge is one of my favorite food and breakfast. So easy to make, so fast, so cheal amd so customizable. The thing is to make it creamy (subsitute half of the water for milk) and add a pinch of salt (very important step, as salt enhances the taste and really DOES make a difference). Hope you try this recipe x Porridge is one of my favorite food and breakfast. So easy to make, so fast, so cheal amd so versatile.

Black Beans, Shrimp & Quinoa Salad
Who else loves black beans as much as I do ? I was playing around in the kitchen the other day and I absolutely loved this salad as it is full of proteins. Healthy can definitely rhyme with tasty 🙂 There you go for the recipe: [/recipe]
Strawberry-Mint Mocktail
Let’s get straight to be point. I love strawberries. I love mint (can’t avoid that, because of my moroccan genes). I love cold drinks during summer. And I love this mocktail. You will love it too I promise.
Condensed Milk Pancakes

Burgers with Beetroot “Coleslaw”
What I like about summer is all the BBQs of course. I made this recipe the other day and it’s the perfect one to change from your traditional burger with ketchup and yellow mustard 👌 Hope you’ll like it!

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…
Healthy Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of my favorite recipes, and also one of my mom’s. It’s also one of the few recipes I have already prepared with my brother, and it is relatively easy to make, since no oven is required. However, the originak recipe calls for lots of mascarpone, eggs and sugar. Hence, it’s quite heavy and…well, not something I would eat everyday 🙂 You know I like to bring twists to original recipes, so I came up with this. Ricotta cheese is one of my favorite. I always get the reduced fat version, which is like 280 calories per cup, and always have to try not to eat the entire…
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…
