Whenever autumn rolls around, I get the urge to bake delicious things with speculaas spices. Speculaas is a big favourite here in the Netherlands, and the speculaas and chocolate muffins I made last year became a huge success with my friends and family, and it’s still one of my favourite recipes. This year, I decided to go […]

Yesterday I baked something for the first time since my birthday. That’s over three weeks without any baked goodies from yours truly! I’ve been a bit too busy to create new recipes over the past few weeks, so it was so nice to finally be able to get back into the kitchen and bake my […]

And that was October! It’s been a busy month, starting with my birthday and ending with the first two weeks of midterms. I think that’s the reason that I only read two books this month, the second of which I finished yesterday evening. Technically, I finished reading Cress in October as well, but I also included […]

Those of you who follow me on Twitter may have noticed that I attempted to make French macarons again this weekend. I did so once before, in June last year, but although I did get a couple of cookies out of it (and they had the little feet!) I wasn’t completely satisfied back then. They […]

Autumn has definitely arrived now in the Netherlands, and with that has come the first wave of colds and flu. Everyone seems to be ill, as was I this past week. I stayed home from class on Monday and Wednesday, and my lovely dad came over to bring me some groceries, so I could still, […]

About a week ago I was feeling a bit stressed and anxious (it happens sometimes), so I figured I’d do something that pretty much always helps me relax: I baked something. The weather has been changing quite rapidly for the past two weeks, and I think it’s pretty safe to say autumn has come. That’s […]

Another month over! Today is the last day of my summer holidays, which means tomorrow I will officially start my Master’s degree in Writing, Editing and Mediating! I’m quite excited about it, actually, much more excited than I’ve been in years about starting the new semester. It’ll be fun! August was a very good month […]
