I discovered blondies quite recently and I have to admit that the first thing that caught my attention was their name. I wasn’t really convinced that a dessert without chocolate could be interesting enough for me, but after a few searches, I discovered that blondies are actually incredibly versatile and […]

Cottage Cheese and Greek Yogurt Waffles Recipe
Today marks one week since I bought my waffle maker from KitchenShop, and what better way to celebrate than with a new waffle recipe? 😂 This time, I made cottage cheese and Greek yogurt waffles with a higher protein content. 💪 I had this waffle maker on my wishlist for about a […]
Chocolate and Brandy Cozonac Recipe
I started out wanting to make the famous babka, but after doing a little research and seeing how it’s traditionally made, I changed course. 😁 Not because it’s necessarily complicated, but because the whole process can take up to 24 hours and, honestly… ain’t nobody got time for that. 😂 That’s […]
Apple Meringue Cake – Simple and Flavorful Recipe
A few apples had been sitting in a bowl for a while, along with some egg whites left over from my cinnamon rolls. And that’s how today’s little experiment, called apple meringue cake, came to life. 😁 I initially wanted to make something a little healthier and lower in calories. But ever […]
Pavlova Recipe with Fresh Fruit and Vanilla Cream
I have always been a little hesitant to try making a Pavlova recipe. That is because my meringues never turned out the way they should. They were either too chewy, they would turn yellow, or they simply did not have that beautiful crisp texture you expect from a bakery-style Pavlova. […]
Chocolate Brownie Cookies Recipe with Walnuts and Caramel
Another recipe from my #NoRecipeWithoutCaramel series. 😂 This time, it’s a combination that’s pretty much impossible to resist: brownie + chocolate + crunchy walnuts + caramel = ❤️.

Gingerbread Yule Log with Mascarpone and White Chocolate
Last Christmas, I never got around to posting this recipe on the blog, so this year I found myself taking photos of my gingerbread Yule log first thing in the morning, just before we left to spend Christmas with my family. Priorities. 😂 After making a dark chocolate Yule log […]
Caramel Mascarpone Roll Cake – Easy Recipe with Cocoa Sponge
I’ve been “cluttering” the blog with roll cakes lately. 😁 I don’t know why I avoided them for so long, because they’re surprisingly easy to make, the flavor combinations are practically endless, and (very important) they look great on Instagram. Since I’ve declared myself a caramel fan, #norecipewithoutcaramel, it was […]
Pumpkin Bread with Mascarpone Frosting – An Easy Fall Dessert
For me, fall officially begins when my kitchen starts to smell like roasted pumpkin. 🥰 Every year, I make it a tradition to prepare at least one pumpkin dessert, and this year I chose a pumpkin bread with mascarpone frosting. It has a delicate and flavorful texture, with warm cinnamon notes, […]
Snickers Swiss Roll with Salted Caramel and Chocolate
Over the past year, I’ve made more caramel desserts than I can count, and I can officially say I’m completely obsessed with caramel. I blame my friends, who keep sending me photos of irresistible caramel treats almost every day and somehow always convince me to make “just one more”. 😆 […]
Spinach and Feta Ravioli – Homemade Pasta Recipe
This is the first time I’ve made homemade pasta and, since I really love filled pasta, I thought I’d start straight away with ravioli. 😁 The classic combination for spinach ravioli is probably spinach and ricotta. I decided to go with spinach and feta instead because I really love the slightly salty […]
