We’re nearing the end of March, so it’s time for another monthly recap! This month, I finally finished Jane Eyre and The New York Trilogy, and read three other books besides those two. Quite a good month, I’d say. Hopefully I can keep up this reading pace in April as well!

Spring officially started yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier about it! We had a couple of sunny days last week here in the Netherlands, and they were glorious. Biking around town without a coat on (and without getting cold, obviously) is the best feeling around this time of year. Or maybe it’s having lunch in the sun […]

I don’t know about you, but I love peanut butter. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t eat a peanut butter sandwich. Sometimes I also add a few slices of banana to the mix, and it was while eating this particular sandwich that I thought of making peanut butter and banana muffins. Since peanut butter is […]

Another month gone! A short one this time, though. Looking back, it appears that I have read very little in February. Oops! I guess that’s what you get for reading two books at the same time — neither one gets finished quickly. Oh well, better luck in March, I guess. I did read quite a […]

January has always been a busy month in my family, since we’ve got four birthdays to celebrate (my cousin, my grandmother, my father and my aunt). We usually celebrate at least two or three of these birthdays at the same time, because, well, it’s convenient! This year, this celebration took place at my parents’ house, which […]
Read MoreThis Christmas I was in charge of the dessert (as is often the case — my family doesn’t seem to mind). Since we celebrated Christmas over at my aunt and uncle’s, I had to make something that was relatively easy to transport. Besides that, I also needed to make sure it didn’t involve any chocolate, […]

It’s almost Christmas! Are you as excited as I am? I love Christmas, and all the good food and company and cosiness that comes with it. I think it’s my favourite time of the year (although I’ve said that before…). I figured I should come up with a nice Christmassy recipe before the day actually […]
