Quick and Easy Cookie Butter Cookies – Only 3 Ingredients Too

Having 2 growing kids (now 8 and 11) I find  they tend to want to munch on something more often. Maybe it’s boredom, maybe growth, maybe both, not sure. What I do know is that I need to make sure they are either busy or munching, or both – busy munching 🙂 To make sure […]

Moist Lemon Muffins With Coconut Oil

Nothing says spring more than lemons right? their color, their smell, their freshness, it just feels like after a long winter nap, your senses come to life. My husband’s parents have their own lemon tree, and every year like a clock, it gives so many lemons, and they’re all so big a juicy. The only […]

Cinnamon Butter Fingers With Chocolate Drizzle

I’m not always patient. In fact, most of the time I just want things to be ready in like 5 minutes, but we all know that’s not always possible (except when you make an omelet). So the other day I craved for something sweet with my tea, I figured that by now I should sort […]

My Grandma’s Soft Lemon Chocolate Marble Cake

When I was little, I used to love spending time with my grandma. She used to come visit us every summer for a couple of weeks, make sure we have fun, eat well and don’t miss out on anything, all while slightly getting on my mom’s nerves 🙂 She used to take us to her […]

Almond Brown Sugar Spelt Cookies

Me and my Spelt flour again – yay! 🙂 This time, there is no real story behind these cookies other than the fact that I REALLY wanted something sweet and crunchy for dessert. These cookies were perfect because the dough needs to be stored in the fridge for 2 hours prior to making the cookies, […]
