Probably not as good as the one in the cartoon, but definitely worth giving a try. It is definitely one of the best (healthy) things I’ve got acquainted with while living in Belgium (sorry all the other dishes, but the waffles definitely win) and I’m so glad I had, as it’s super delicious and helps…

Vitamin Water
This time I’m sharing something very simple for these hot summer days when water just won’t cut it in the hydration department. 😉 This infused water is full of vitamins, refreshing and you only need a few minutes to make a batch that will last for a day. What I’m sharing here is my favorite…
Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls
Summer is here and there is really not many things more appropriate for a light, fresh summer day lunch as these amazing, fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. You just need a few simple ingredients, some cutting, a bit of rolling practice, and some nice dipping sauces and you’re good to go. And no worries if at…
Triple Chocolate Muffins
I don’t make muffins that often but I sure do buy those cute little paper models waaay too many times. And when my storage box gets too full of them it’s time to make some. Cupcakes or muffins, they’re both great but as I’m not the biggest fan of different creamy fillings I usually opt…
Liege Waffles
It’s really hard not to love waffles. We used to make them for special Sunday breakfasts with my family, especially when we had some friends and family over. The old waffle iron we had made heart-shaped waffle bits, six forming one large waffle, so it was really all about sharing and loving while tearing the…
Avocado and Feta Cheese on Sourdough
I love avocado and all the ways you can use it, but be it guacamole, baked or in a salad, nothing can top this easy spread. A friend visiting from australia showed me this amazing combination and it has been a little obsession for almost a year now. What’s perfect is it can be a…
Pear Tart with Frangipane
My love for fruit pies and tarts is ever-growing and if they have a special twist like this one… well even better. The secret of this pear tart lies in the frangipane, a delicious almondy sweet layer between the pastry and the pears which gives the tart a crunchy sweet texture (and it is similar…
Sachertorte or Sacher Cake
This was one of the first cakes I ever made (still a teenager then), it is really easy to make and is still one of my favorite chocolate cakes. This recipe is an improved version of the recipe from my mom’s old cookbook and definitely my favorite version of the famous Austrian cake. What I particularly like about…
Tita’s Red Pie
Berries galore is what this pie is all about. My friend Tita first made a pie like that ages ago, and we all loved it so much, we’re always begging her to make it. I’ve been craving it so many times and finally thought about making it. It’s fairly easy and won’t take much…
Sweet Potato “Fries”
Sweet potatoes are naturally packed with more nutrients and fiber than regular ones, which makes them healthier by default. But they don’t even fall much behind in the taste department the regular French fries if you prepare them correctly. With this recipe they’ll be crunchy, tasty and not to mention without any unhealthy oils. Served…
My Favorite Chia Pudding
My latest breakfast obsession (after long periods of smoothies and overnight oats) is chia pudding. It’s refreshing, delicious and really good for you – full of healthy fats and superfoods that will benefit you on every level, and it’s even gluten-free, for all of those who can’t tolerate it. I love that I can make…
Best Salad Ever
So easy to make, this salad is the perfect combination of sweet, salty and sour. I prefer to have it for lunch by itself, as it is packed with flavor and nutrients with some toasted bread (&butter of course) on the side, but it goes really great with red meat dishes, risottos or some rich…
