Mango-Double Chocolate Muffins
We went to visit a friend of mine the other day and keeping in mind that they have a toddler (and a mini kiddo), I wanted to prepare something that suits a grown up taste as well as a kid’s and it is also easy to pick up and run-back-to-the-toys with. I had a half … Read more
Huevos Flamencos
I was wandering through the pages of a tapas book of mine when my Mr pointed out a picture I would probably never pay much attention to. A nicely colored photo of a quite simple dish, that I thought would taste as “simple” as it was described. After all, what good could come out of … Read more
No Bake Cheesecake with Mulberry Sauce on a Graham Cracker Base
It was birthday again in the office! Unfortunately though, the birthday girl got sick, as well as many others from my group, so in the end we were only 5 to enjoy this amazing cake. Anyway, it is the intention that counts, right? : ) We enjoyed it for all of the missing people as … Read more
Empanada Gallega or Rather: Tuna Pie :D
I have to admit this is not how I planned this dish. After finding this great step-by-step recipe, for some reasons I decided that a pie pan would be good for this – well, my suggestion is, use a nice big pan or half the recipe, because in my version, the amount of dough was … Read more
Huevos Del Abuelo
My Mr talked to me about this dish a couple of times in the past, passed on in his family from generation to generation – ‘just how grandfather made it’ – but we never came around to making it ourselves (I have never tried it before, either). So the other day, when we were without … Read more
First ever meal plan!
Some of you might know by now that I’m normally preparing lunch and dinner (for 2). This might sound a bit terrifying, taking into consideration that I’m also working full-time from an office, working out regularly, cleaning, doing everyday mess control at home and visiting family every couple of days (does that really fit in … Read more
Moist, Delicious and Easy Apple Gallette
I had a serious craving for an apple filled sweet indulgence the other day (yep, that is kind of continuous thing). My Mr was not against a good apple pie either, so I pulled out this recipe and put it on the table (yes, it was really that easy!). Apple gallette Ingredients: for the dough … Read more
Bolognese Puff Pastry Braid
I believe many-many of us love a good pasta Bolognese – with all that tender meat, fresh carrots and tomato puree! I thought wrapping this deliciously tangy sauce into puff pastry can make no harm. I was right! Bolognese Puff Pastry Braid Ingredients: 250 g ground meat (I used mixed pork and beef) 1 shredded … Read more
Fruit Juicing Smoothie Snapshots :)
My Mr is in the mood for snapping a few photos of my smoothie making process, I thought I share them because they turned out great! I was making a simple mixed fruit smoothie, with 1/2 fresh mango, kiwi, apple, banana and orange juice – this is always a winner! I cubed and froze the … Read more
Liebster Award – Nominees!
Part 1 continued MY NOMINEES! “So what is the Liebster award: it’s a way of getting blogs with smaller followings (under 300) noticed, as well as newer blogs noticed. It gives them chance to be viewed by more people. It’s said that it originates from Germany, which makes sense as one of Liebster’s translations in … Read more
