I often buy apples and forget about them until I really need to do something about them. Here in Düsseldorf, where I live, it is currently cold and rainy which calls for warm comforting food. But of course, I’ve noticed that Germans love ice cream no matter what the weather; so what better dish than … Continue reading Comforting Apple Crumble
I’ve been craving all things chocolate these past 2 weeks, and Chocolat Liégeois has been at the back of my mind for a good few days. It’s that childhood ‘come home from school’ snack that I used to look forward to whenever I knew it was in the fridge, and the much welcomed surprise when … Continue reading Chocolat Liégeois
As social distancing continues, we get to a stage where we can let go a little. We feel more tired, less motivated to exercise, less motivated to build on the hobbies we have picked up, or maybe we are just simply bored. Well, at least I have experienced some of this. It gets to a … Continue reading GF/DF Cinnamon-Walnut Muffins

However, I need to be in the kitchen on my own without anyone bothering me or staring me down - I usually only accept … Continue reading GF Twix Bars + Vegan Option
Today is Easter Sunday! But unfortunately, we will not be having our usual big family gathering. However, I still wanted to spread some Easter cheer by making a delicious on-theme cake. What is more on-theme than carrot cake? Probably a lot of things, but I thought this was the most simple and fitting thing 🙂 … Continue reading Yummy Carrot Cake
So I caved. I finally followed the heard and made banana bread. The overripe bananas were just staring me down one morning when I came down to make my breakfast smoothie! Lucky for me, there were 4 🙂 So I used 1 for my morning smoothie and 3 for this DELICIOUS Keto-friendly banana muffin recipe. … Continue reading GF Banana Muffins
Here we go again! 🙂 One thing that I'm quite happy about is that my brother is finally trying all the goodies I am making; he used to refuse as they are 'healthier' options to the 'normal' ones. But now it is taking him less time to finally try these baked goods I'm making to … Continue reading GF Double Chocolate Cupcakes + Vegan Option
The majority of the world right now is confined, or partially confined, to their homes due to the current situation with Covid-19. Because of this, there is quite a stir on the internet - or at least from what I can see myself - about people losing their minds and not knowing how to occupy … Continue reading GF Double Chocolate Cookies + Vegan Option
