  October for me is the month where the frenzy daily life is at full speed. Work, homework, activities, household handling.... 24 hours are just not enough! The cooking has also gone wild since the goal is to eat home cooked meals on a daily basis! Up to now I can proudly say that I manage to achieve it!!! This means that during the weekend I cook more than one meals to...

One of this season's goals is to avoid tossing any food supplies. I think it's so bad to throw food away when there are people struggling for the basic in life. So I check regularly all expiry dates on our food and as soon as I see something that is ready to expire I see that it gets immediately cooked or baked.  This is the case for the spinach in the lasagna above. I found them...

As promised the anniversary cupcakes /muffins are here !! This year are a lot more nutritious than usual as part of my current baking philosophy! The ingredients are tahini, banana and almond milk. I am so happy they turned out so fluffy and yummy ! I always love to share such recipes with you! During the past week I did a lot of cooking and baking experimentation. Some of my cooking...

Yes the time has come to publish new content. I really missed it. But I didn't yet felt ready to do it. I feel I owe an apology to my loyal audience whomever checked out for new recipes and articles all this time. The truth is I decided to take a few weeks recess at first. And then a month got by. And a second and a third one. I was ok with the new situation, not having the blog in my...

Spring is officially here and the weather is screaming spring despite the cold the past couple of days.  I am in a full spring mood! I just want to sleep, stroll into the sunshine and enjoy the good weather! Instead of that we have Penelope's getting down with the flu, having a lot of work at the office (this is a good thing) and a crazy daily schedule! Despite all that, whenever I...

This time I don't know where to start... For starters, I want to share with you some amazing news for my blog: The results are here and my beloved blog won the Editor's Award for Best Baking in this year's Food Blog Awards of Vima Gourmet. I am willing to gather all my experience and thoughts of the competition in a separate post (hopefully soon). I really want to thank everyone you...

Do you like broccoli? I just love it, steamed with lemon, nice and crunchy. Hubby (along with Penelope) hates almost anything green. So how to I get him to eat broccoli (one of the more nutritious food ever in my opinion)? Add pasta, homemade beshamel and lot's of cheese and make it irresistible (or just covered up). So this is one of my classic recipes. So easy and delicious. The only...

Fact: I am just lost with my new daily schedule and time management is like a distant dream Fact: I managed to post two smoothies in a raw. Its my new obsession ok??  Fact: My blog turned two !!  Oh yes, my beloved blog turned two and I am just so happy !! I know this deserves a far more festive post. For the time being both the blog and myself will have to settle with the...

The rotten banana problem is well known here at my blog. If you have the time check out my banana tag (here) and you will find out that most of the recipes were made in order not to through away my over matured bananas. These days I am taking it to the extreme: my ultimate goal is not to through away any food (expired, rotten, over matured, etc.). The first thing I do is to make...

I don't know about you, I definetely vote for mango sorbet! Schoolyear has not yet started for Penelope (since we are official in kintergarden now) so we are still in summermood at least during the afternoons. Also, I am on denial that summer is gone! This mango sorbet helps a lot ! It tastes so summer, so exotic that each bite travels me in exotic places, beaches etc. This summer I...

I really hope you had a blast this summer, to still be on vacation, or even better, to getting ready for holidays in the next days! I turned the blog on vacation mode, withour really giving it a lot of thought! Hopefully it's really patient with me and was up and ready as soon as I...
