Greek yogurt peach ice cream bars

These ice cream bars are very easy to make and turn out delicious.

I didn't manage to take a lot of photos because I made them on an afternoon when we had some friends over and once the ice cream bars were ready to be taken out of the freezer, they disappeared in next to nothing.

Condensed milk lemon pie

This is lemon pie with a twist. It's a cross between a traditional lemon pie and a lemon cheesecake. The crust is made with cookie crumbs like a cheesecake, but then the filling uses condensed mild instead of cream cheese. The result? A completely decadent lemon pie, which my husband says it's the best dessert I ever baked.

Chocolate and cookies delish

Hello and welcome. Today I'm back here sharing a totally decadent dessert recipe. Making this kind of desserts is not my norm, as I find having them around just too dangerous for my waistline. In this case, though, I open an exception, because it is just amazing.

This chocolate and cookies dessert is a cross between chocolate mousse and a cookie cake, but with the consistency of neither. It is just spoonful after spoonful of wonderful, gooey chocolate sauce with the cookies in between. And of course you should not miss it.

The top 10 recipes of 2017 on the blog

Hello, and welcome to another 2017 roundup, this time to share the most successful recipes I shared last year on the blog.

It seems strange to be doing this when we're into the second week of January already, but I wanted to do something similar at the end of 2016 and never did, so this time I promised myself that no matter how late I would still get round to publishing this post.

Although I'm by no means a great cook, I always have fun creating things in the kitchen - especially when I'm not pressured to have dinner on the table at a specific time. 

So, here are the ten Keeping it Real recipes with the most page views in 2017 (in descending order):

Mushroom and chorizo roll

Meatloaf is one of those dishes that I cook on a weekly basis. It's easy to make, the kids love it and I can whip one up on Sunday evening and have enough leftovers for one or two additional meals.

Today I want to share with you another of my favorite quiche recipes. Healthy and made from scratch, loaded with vegetables and tasty shrimps. It works well either as a main dish or a side dish, and you can easily pack a slice for lunch at the office too.
