I can feel summer getting closer; it’s definitely in the air. The days are getting longer, the sun is shining brighter, the air is getting warmer, leaves on trees are becoming livelier…ahh, how promising! Summer brings nothing but adventure and excitement our way, doesn’t it? During summer months one gets play outside and enjoy outdoor… Continue reading Healthy Bowl – Simple Peach

Healthy Bowl: Honey Peach
There is something so lovely about peaches. It could be their sweet taste, their beautifully subtle orange color, their soft skin, or the naturally soothing effect they have on us after consumption. Or maybe it’s a combination of all of those things that make them so great! Peaches are a wonderful gift of nature. Even though grocery stores… Continue reading Healthy Bowl: Honey Peach
Healthy Bowl: Sweet Mango
Happy Friday to you all; the weekend is finally right around the corner! Friday mornings tend to bring so much excitement my way — and that is because I know that soon enough, I’ll get to relax, get to take a few days off from a crazy busy schedule, get to slow down and re-connect with loved ones, get… Continue reading Healthy Bowl: Sweet Mango
No Bake Double Layer Brownies
This little gem is the second dessert I took to our Easter family get together this year. I promised I’d post it, and so here it is…in all of its chocolate-y glory! It’s incredibly rich, decadent and satisfying. One for the books for sure! These brownies do not require baking; the ingredients don’t need cooking and… Continue reading No Bake Double Layer Brownies
Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes
Day two of crepe making is here. Hooray! And guys, let me tell you, my crepe-making obsession is only getting stronger. Yikes! 🙂 I’ve been making crepes left and right — to the point where I just leave my crepe pan on the stove permanently (as soon as I wash it, I put it back… Continue reading Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes
Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes
I have been having way too much fun with my new Le Creuset crepe pan. I am obsessed; I can’t (and won’t) stop making crepes. I am in love with the crepe making process, the smell of them while they’re cooking, their texture, their taste, and the endless crepe making possibilities. Crepes not only taste heavenly,… Continue reading Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes
Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Sugar Glaze
During this time of the year, the snow is melting (or has melted already), the days are longer, the sun is shining brighter, the weather is getting warmer…and we can actually hear birds chirping outside our windows. Ahh. I LOVE THAT. Warmer weather brings so much hope, so much excitement. Excitement for all that is to… Continue reading Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Sugar Glaze
Torta de Maqueño (Banana Cake)
When I think back of meals with my family while growing up, a very vivid sweet smell comes to mind right away. A scent powered by Ecuadorian bananas, sugar and cheese. I remember coming home from high school with my brother. We were dropped off by the school bus a block away from the entrance of our… Continue reading Torta de Maqueño (Banana Cake)
NiceCream (Banana Raspberry)
One of the absolute BEST ways of using old and spotty bananas is to make NiceCream! (You thought I was gonna say “banana bread” didn’t you? That was so last year; the new hot thing is “NiceCream” — so be sure to jump on the bandwagon! 😉 ) Most of us seem to “collect” spotty bananas on our… Continue reading NiceCream (Banana Raspberry)
Coconut Flan
Yesterday was one of those days where I felt like devouring everything and anything I could get my hands on (watch out kitchen!) — I had the appetite of a lioness, and could not control it. Wrawr! I know this happens to a lot of women as well (thank goodness I am not the only freak): one is… Continue reading Coconut Flan
