I love marzipan. I love it on cakes (so much better than fondant!), in muffins and pies, and I love it as a sugary little snack on its own. So when Joyce from Miss Craftsy posted a recipe for a super easy healthy version of this sugary deliciousness I immediately got the urge to try […]

Okay, you’re probably thinking: Healthy cocktails? There is no such thing! While that’s probably true, these cocktails include some very healthy ingredients in addition to the obvious alcohol. They’re smoothie-cocktails, or smocktails, as I have dubbed them (still not sure I like the name, though). I hung out with two of my best friends yesterday, and we decided […]

A few weeks ago I bought a kilo of frozen raspberries for less than 4 euros. You can imagine I was quite pleased with myself! I love raspberries, but they’re always so ridiculously expensive, if you want fresh ones. Even frozen raspberries aren’t very cheap, usually. So, yes, I was very happy with this purchase, to […]

Every year, at the beginning of November, my parents’ church organises a jumble sale to raise money for charity. It’s always loads of fun, because everyone’s working together for a good cause which makes for an amazing atmosphere.

I had a lovely dinner with my parents, grandparents and aunt on Monday, and made an absolutely delicious crumble for dessert. It included all kinds of berries and […]

Well, summer is definitely over now, so it seems… It’s starting to get dark much earlier, the leaves are changing and, most importantly, it’s getting cold. No more warm, sunny days, my friends. It’s back to warm jumpers and lots of tea. Which is fine by me, to be honest. I’m a sucker for a […]
Read MoreMy parents have this beautiful hazel in their back garden. It was already there when we moved in when I was 6, but we never paid that much attention to it. I remember one year it gave us a huge harvest, but we barely did anything with it; we just had a humongous bowl full […]

A couple of months ago I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies as part of my Cookie Rookie project (which I never really finished). They tasted okay, but I wasn’t entirely happy with them. Not with the way they tasted and also not with the way they looked. So that meant I still didn’t […]

It’s been a while since I posted a recipe, or anything baking related for that matter. That’s because it’s actually been a while since I did some actual baking. There’s a logical explanation for that, though. It’s summer. Now, for most people that wouldn’t be a reason to stop baking — in fact, many people […]
