2-Ingredients Bagels
This week I am coming with a super easy and fast to make greek yoghurt bagels recipe. Not only they’re high in protein but, since we’re using baking powder, there is no wait for the dough to rise! (I got you, suuuper annoying as I get impatient). The first time I read greek yoghurt and bagels in the same sentence, I was a bit confused. My first reaction was “yeah! greek yoghurt bagels seem healthy” but in the back of my mind, I still somehow had a little doubt about how this could work. Until I decided a few days ago to give it a go. This greek yoghurt bagels…

These super fast to make bagels require no rising time!…
How to make the Perfect Buttercream Recipe (In less than 20 min!)
American buttercream is definitely the most popular icing recipe out there. Eady to make, requires not special skill or equipment, and have I talked about the creaminess ? I get satisfaction whenever I get the optimal, creamy buttercream texture, ready to be placed on cakes or cupcakes. Let’s dive in straight into the recipe, shall we? What do I need ? The buttercream ingredients themselves are minimal: butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. What’s the best icing sugar to butter ratio? I have found that a 4:1 ratio is a bit too sweet, so I usually do between that and 3:1. As a beginner, a ratio of 3:1…
The Fluffiest Vegan Pancakes
A few days ago a friend tagged me on a vegan pancakes video on Facebook. They were so fluffy and like regular ones, so I saved the recipe up for later. Vegan pancakes do not have eggs or dairy, and I love challenges, so I got inspired and decided to make my own vegan pancakes recipe. I’m quite happy how they ended up. Soft, fluffy and filling. As all pancakes should be. Ingredients: – 3/4 cup regular flour – 1/4 cup wholewheat flour – 2 tsp baking powder – 2 tbsp coconut sugar – 2 tbsp softened vegan butter – 2 tsp apple cider vinegar – 1 cup almond-coconut milk…
The best Tomato Soup
I am obsessed with tomato soup. Yes, I’m also one of these weird people who (sometimes) drink tomato juice as if it was a completely sane thing to do (hey, don’t judge). Back home in Morocco eating tomatoes is a staple. If your house does not have bread or tomatoes, is it even a house ? I drink tomato soup as often as I can, but let me tell you. This recipe I made the other day is the best, creamiest tomato soup I have ever tasted. I am done with industrial soups. Seriously. Hope you try it for yourself, and why not ass a grilled cheese on the side…
On the Importance of Rest Days
Although I have no trouble relaxing and completely logging off while on holidays, I tend to be more hesitent in taking rest days when I need them during my “usual life”. I’m naturally an active person, and need for my own sanity to do some work or go outside and move a little bit every single day. I’m a PhD student, and very fortunate in that I have a very flexible schedule and can work at the times when I feel more productive, and rest when I feel sluggish. One thing I am still working on is to feel less guilty when taking rest days in the middle of the…
Healthier American-Style Blueberries Pancakes
I love saturdays (and week-ends in general) cause I have enough time to wake up and make myself more elaborated breakfasts. One thing I absolutely (and I think everyone) love is pancakes with syrup. I made these american style pancakes today, and I’m sure you’ll like them 🙂 They’re best served with some greek yoghurt and berries.
7 Healthy Snacks Ideas
Who doesn’t love snacking ? Definitely not me! I snack all the time. In our busy lives, it’s easy to buy some chips or sweet “energy” bars (which are definitely more like treats!) at the serving machine but these don’t live you satiated and they’re full of nasty stuff. Not what you body needs. Here are 7 easy on-the-go snacks you can make at home and take with you 🙂 Rice cakes with cottage or cheese and tuna Some low-fat cheese, tortilla chips and grapes Toast with peanut butter and strawberries Toast with mashed avocado and boiled egg Protein chocolate-peanut butter smoothie Rice cakes with avocado and salmon Tortilla wrap…
