Pie Crust
I love making stuff from scratch. Messy hands are the best hands 🤗. Pie crust dough is super easy to make and customizable whether you want it sweet or not. Here we go: Ingredients 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter (you can use vegan butter or margarine too) // 1/2 cup water // (optional: for a sweet crust, add 3 tbsp of sugar) Instructions In a large bowl, mix the flour and the softened butter. You should get a lumpy, sand-like texture // Gradually add the water while working the dough. You should get a soft and light dough. If too sticky, add some flour as…
Veggie tart
I wanted to recreate this tart where veggies look like flowers for aaaages. Yesterday I finally sat down and decided to make it. For this one I used carrots and courgette/zucchinis cause it’s easy to get thin slices of them. I also made my own crust, cause it is funnier but any store-crust would do fine as well. I hope you’ll like it just like I did 🙂 Ingredients For the homemade crust ——————– 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter // 1/2 cup water For the filling ——————– 2 eggs // 1/4-1/3 cup milk (depending on the size of the pie) // 2 tbsp double cream…
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…
Lemon Flaxseeds cake
I’m one of lemon cake biggest fan. Poppy seeds or not, icing or not, I’ll take it. But I also like some twists from time to time 🙂 I wanted to see how flaxseeds would influence the taste, and I am very happy with the result. Hope you’ll like it too 🙂 Now the cake is not too sweet and I would say the lemon taste is light however you can always add sugar or lemon juice depending on how you fell. but enough talking, let’s get into business! Ingredients 3/4 cup white flour // 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds // 3/4 tsp baking powder// 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (I…
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). I made this the other day as an afternoon snack, but it’s definitely most suitable for brekkie, with a cuppa or some coffee. 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…
Chocolate Protein Balls
Guys. In the past to criminals in the Roman Empire, they used to attach each one of their limbs to a horse. Then order the horses to run in all directions. Ouch. I feel like life is trying to do that to me. So many things to do which have NOTHING to do with each other. Gotta process my simulations result. Prepare my french lessons (I’m a french teacher too). Work on the model of a CubeSat satellite we’re trying to send into space – if we win the competition – with ANOTHER team. On top of that I’m preparing for the Dobson cup. Now don’t get it wrong, I…
