    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…

    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 🙂

    Banana Oats Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I always like a good chocolate chip cookie. I do not have a particular favorite dish or food (yes, I know) because it’s like having to chose your favorite one among your kids (just to let you know, my mama would pick me obviously if she had to chose). However, I always enjoy a nice cookie. A real one. Not an industrial one. All buttery and sweet and soft and crunchy at the same time. Actually, this recipe is probably blasphematory to the real deal, but I did like it. And it involves bananas 👌

    Simple Cookies

    Simplicity is best. And cookies are definity the ultimate proof of that. I mean, who doesn’t love melting chocolate chips ? 😍 Well, my flatmate doesn’t but that’s another story. I made these cookies yesterday and they: 1)are easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients already and you can replace the chocolate chips with raisins (even though, your friends might hate you for being tricked it’s chocolate when it’s really raisins) and 2)can be either soft or crunchier, depending on how you like them. But enough talking, let’s get into serious things shall we?                         Ingredients (makes…

    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…
