Old Fashioned Apple Cake {recipe}

Hello, and welcome! Today I'm sharing here a cake that we bake a lot at our house. It's one of my husband's favorites and it's great for when you want something tasty but not overly sweet or heavy. 

Grandma's Cake {recipe}

Hello, and welcome! If you follow me on IG you've probably already seen a photo of this cake. I made it at the last minute for my daughter's 16th birthday - we spent all day out of the house and when we returned in the evening she wanted a cake (with candles to blow) just for the four of us, and I needed to whip up something quickly.

This is one of my mother's old recipes, is very quick and easy to make and always turns out well. It's an old fashioned basic cake, but sometimes the simple things are the best. 

Vegan Strawberry Ice Cream Recipe (with Almond or Oat Milk)

Strawberry ice cream has always been a stable at our house during the summer (remember the Strawberry Milkshake Ice Cream Popsicles I posted here a long time ago already?), but over the years my daughter's lactose intolerance has worsened, so I've been looking for vegan alternatives that work just as well for us.

Simple & Easy Pistachio Macarons with White Chocolate Pistachio Filling {recipe}

Hello, and welcome! Today I'm sharing here a simple recipe for pistachio macarons. Macarons are not the easiest dessert to make, but they also do not need to be something you are afraid to try just because the process looks overwhelming at first.

And the first misconception that you need to get rid of is that macarons don't need to be window shop perfect. Even if there are little imperfections, they will still be just as tasty.

Pancake Cereal {recipe}

Hello, and welcome! Have you seen the latest mini pancake/cereal pancake trend on Pinterest? To be honest, I hadn't, not until my daughter told me about it and said she wanted to try the mini pancakes. 

So we decided to adapt our favorite Easy Cinnamon Pancakes recipe to create these tiny pancakes that apparently everyone is now eating as breakfast cereal...

How to freeze cauliflower

Hello, and welcome!

After my recent post about freezing cabbage leaves, I also decided to share here how I freeze cauliflower. 

I love to make cauliflower soup (you can find my favorite recipe here) but sometimes either I get a larger cauliflower that I know I won't use up entirely before it starts deteriorating or I change my meal planning and I need to make sure nothing is wasted. 

Homemade croutons - from bread leftovers

Hello, and welcome! Today I'm sharing here an easy (and tasty) way to use up bread leftovers (and, of course, reduce food waste): homemade croutons.

How to freeze cabbage leaves

One of the things I always try to avoid is wasting food (read my post with tips and advice to reduce food waste). So whenever we visit my grandfather's old house and it's not-so-well-tended garden and we bring home a bunch of cabbage leaves (among other vegetables and herbs), I usually freeze most of them to use later (especially in soups). 

Of course it's always better to use the vegetables while fresh, but when you have too much you need to find ways to conserve them until they can be used.
