French Toast with Homemade Strawberry Jam
I absolutely love french toast. My mom used to make it quite regularly when we were kids. I prefer to cook the bread in a greased pan instead of dipping it in oil. Out of laziness surely (🙈) but also because french toast still tastes good if you cook it in a greased pan. In this recipe, you also get to make your own strawberry “jam” which is cool. Hope you like it 🙂
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.

Sugar Free Chocolate Brownies
I’m so happy because yesterday, I decided to use my new bought sweetener at 11pm and make a test recipe. I went for brownies and wasn’t deceived! These are chocolaty, melting, sweet but not too much, and guilt free 😊
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 👌
Condensed Milk Pancakes
I think by now everyone knows how much I love pancakes. I made those the other day, and they were just super delicious. I twisted the recipe a bit and added condensed milk to it, and I’m very glad with the result 👌 Calories have never tasted so good 😌 Condensed Milk Pancakes (serves 8) Ingredients 1 1/4 cup flour // 3/4 tsp baking powder // 2/3 cup sugar // 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk // 1/4 cup milk // 1 egg, beaten // 1/4 cup melted butter // a pinch of salt Instructions In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar and the baking powder // add…
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!

Coconut Pancakes
Pancakes and me is the best love story 💕. Apparently when my parents were in the states they used to be obssessed with Aunt Jemima’s ones, and they’ve naturally transmitted the passion to me. My best childhood memories are waking up in the morning during the summer vacation to find large pancakes made by my mom qnd eat them, drizzled with a mix of butter and honey, while watching Malcolm in the Middle and Disney Channel. But enough talking, here’s the recipe 🙂 Ingredients 1/4 cup coconut flour // 1/4 cup all-purpose flour // 1/4 tsp baking powder // 2-3 tsp sugar // 1.5 tsp butter or magarine // 1…
White Irish Soda Bread
When I was living in England, I used to get irish soda bread from the store ALL the time. For those who don’t know, orish soda bread is special in that it doesn’t use yeast. Hence, you don’t wait for the dough to rise. And it’s got buttermilk in it, making it super yummy and easy to make. I saw a lot of recipes online use eggs and butter, and plenty of other ingredients, but then that’s a cake. Real, traditional soda bread only has flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk. Well I added some sugar in this one but just so it is softer. So there you go: Ingredients…
Patriotic Popsicles (Strawberry/Blueberry)
To be honest with you guys, I was never a massive fan of ice cream. Don’t get me wrong, I do eat it when given the occasion and I find looking at ice cream cones pictures satisfying. However, I could stop eating it for the rest of my life 😌 However, with #popsicleweek and two national holidays coming up (Canada Day and the 4th of July), I thought let’s make some healthy popsicles. So there you go 🙂 Ingredients 1 1/4 cup yoghurt // 1 tbsp honey // 3/4 cup strawberries // 1/3 cup blueberries // 2 tsp lemon juice // 2 tsp sugar Instructions Wash the fruits and dice…
Pie CrustÂ
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…
