Monthly Recap – February 2016

March 3, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

It’s March! That means it’s almost Spring time and I couldn’t be happier about that. I’m done with the cold and the leafless trees and flowerless gardens. Gimme that sun! February was pretty dreary, but it was a good month nonetheless. I made quite some progress with my MA dissertation, which is basically all I’m working […]

Banana Bread with Hazelnuts

February 28, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

As you might have read in last Sunday’s post, I’ve been pretty busy lately, which also means I’ve hardly had the time to bake anything. You can imagine my excitement at finally being able to take my time in the kitchen and come up with a new and delicious recipe. At first, I figured I wanted […]

Monthly Recap – January 2016

February 4, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

Yikes, January is over already! I kind of forgot about February this week… It wasn’t until yesterday that I realised that it had already started. Whoops! Oh well, time’s an illusion anyway, but let’s not get into that right now. January was a fun but busy month! It marked the end of the first semester, […]

Chocolate Oreo M&M Cookie Bars

January 24, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’ve got a good one for you today, guys. I wasn’t planning on baking anything this weekend and then I had a huge craving for chocolate, and that could only mean one thing. Time to bake something extremely delicious with way too much sugar. Which is how I ended up with these Chocolate Oreo M&M Cookie Bars. That’s […]

Pear and Raspberry Turnovers

January 12, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

I made these turnovers back in December, but had my month all planned out blog-wise – for a change – so here I am posting the recipe now! It’s a really simple one that takes only a few steps and is done in a jiffy. Back in December 2013, I also made turnovers, but those were the […]

December Recap and Bout of Books 15 Sign Up

January 3, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

Since I already posted a recap of 2015 and a recap of everything I read in 2015, it felt a bit unnecessary to write an entre Monthly Recap post for December, including all the books I read and bought. Instead, I am just going to provide you with a quick recap of what happened on the blog […]

Spiced Apple Crumble

December 27, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

I made a spiced apple crumble for Christmas dessert this year, and it was really good!

Pistachio Cookies

December 20, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

Initially, my plan for today was to come up with a nice Christmas cookie recipe, as I did last year around this time, but I couldn’t come up with something nice and Christmassy that I actually felt like eating, too. I only knew I wanted to bake pistachio cookies, so in the end I just […]

Monthly Recap – November

November 29, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

Yikes, the end of the year is nearing already! It’s gotten really cold and winter-y here, which means lots of tea, cosy jumpers and blankets. I’m looking forward to Christmas, but I kind of can’t believe we’re almost done with 2015… I know, I know, it’s a cliché, but really, what’s up with time going by […]

Gluten-Free Carrot Cake

November 22, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

Since I don’t have a lot of experience with baking gluten-free stuff, coming up with a gluten-free baked goodie for a charity sale last week was quite a challenge! Gluten-free bakes often turn out dry and crumbly, so I figured going with a carrot cake would be a good idea – there was no way […]
