Now that school has started, I find myself making this gluten-free banana bread in batches on the weekend, and serving it up for breakfast, snack and dessert throughout the week! This is such a quick and easy recipe to make, not to mention that it's also gluten free (my husband is gluten intolerant) and is super nutritious too! I like to serve it with fresh fruit, yogurt or cream cheese, and a drizzle of honey for a wholesome start to our day. But in all honesty, this banana bread is pretty tasty on its own, and needs nothing else. Apart from maybe a cup of coffee on the side? 😉
I know summer is nearly over, but fear not! With this t ropical, savory rice dish you're sure to keep those summer vibes going a little while longer! 😉 Plus, it makes a great lunch or bento box addition! This tropical rice dish is something we serve quite a lot in summer, as it pairs beautifully with barbecued or grilled meats. But it's also a great dish on its own with a side salad, if you don't fancy firing up the grill!
I've been making this Brazilian passion fruit mousse recipe on repeat this summer. It's SO delicious, refreshing, very quick and easy to make, and only has 3 ingredients! What's not to love? 😉 It's a favorite with my whole family, and it's the ideal dessert to finish off any summer meal, dinner party or to serve at a tropical themed soiree this season!
If you follow me on Instagram , you'd have probably seen this vegan chocolate mousse made on countless occasions in my stories. It's become my go-to recipe for chocolate mousse! Not only is this chocolate mousse SO quick and easy to make, but it's also vegan, tastes delicious and only requires TWO ingredients! One of the the ingredients is called Aquafaba, which is basically the liquid from a can of chickpeas. But before you turn you nose up at it, wait!
Ever since making my Hibiscus Margarita , I've been obsessing over new ways to include Hibiscus in other recipes. I know that iced tea is not necessarily a groundbreaking recipe to use hibiscus in, but since summer's here, I'm sharing another tasty beverage that you can whip up in no time to refresh your taste buds! This hibiscus iced tea is also super pretty, and the ideal drink to serve to the whole family at your 4th of July celebrations!
Summer rhymes with BBQ and eating outdoors, so we've been cooking most of our evening meals on the BBQ this summer. It's a bliss not to have the oven on inside the house, and somehow, food just tastes so much better al-fresco, don't you think? So a few weeks ago, we decide on a baked version of the classic shrimp boil. But because it's cooked on a sheet pan on the barbecue...we called it BBQ shrimp.
Hi friends, hope you're enjoying the warmer temps wherever you are! As soon as the sun hits, I find myself making refreshing fruity drinks at home, like this pretty and delicious passion fruit lemonade! This recipe is a new take on my Brazilian limeade that I shared here on the blog a while back. But this lemonade is made with lemons (not limes) and tangy, sweet passion fruit for an exotic vibe!
A food board is one of my favorite ways to serve snacks, treats and even main course dinner, like in the case of this Taco board. This Taco board is made with delicious ground beef that only takes a few minutes to make, and would be perfect to serve if you're celebrating Cinco de Mayo today, or for any meal, really!
I love to bake and lately I've been having a lot of fun in the kitchen coming up with easy recipes that involve only a few ingredients, supplies and produce that I already have in my pantry, store-cupboard or fridge. Current times oblige, right? 😉 This is how this classic English trifle with store-cupboard ingredients and frozen raspberries was born! Initially, I planned to make the trifle with strawberries, but the stores had run out of berries 🤷♀️ so my husband suggested I use frozen raspberries instead.
Having to spend a lot of time at home these days, means that quality moments with our loved ones are more than ever, a comfort as well as a blessing! As a someone who blogs about parties and entertaining, I find that at times like these, it's even more important to find beauty, creativity and make even the smallest occasion, a special one to celebrate. So I thought I'd share some easy ideas to help you style a girls' movie night in!
If you follow me on YouTube , you'll have probably seen in my last craft haul video , the cutest Easter cookie cutters I received from one of the brands I work with. So naturally, I could not pass up the opportunity to get baking with my new cookie cutters, hence these adorable Easter sugar cookies that are so yummy and pretty in pastel colors!
Saint Patrick's Day is coming up, so I thought I'd make a delicious and pretty dessert befitting the occasion, hence this chocolate layer cake with a delicious Baileys condensed milk frosting ! This layer cake recipe is an adaptation of this chocolate cupcake with Baileys frosting that I shared here on the blog a few years ago. But this time around, I wanted to try my hand at Russian buttercream or sweet condensed milk frosting that I recently came across on YouTube !
If you make just one thing to celebrate Mardi Gras today, than make these super easy, delicious Oreo truffles ! Besides looking so pretty and festive adorned in gold edible glitter, these Oreo truffles are so easy to make and involve NO baking whatsoever. You're welcome! 😋
Do you celebrate Mardi Gras? This year, I decided to deck out my bar cart for Mardi Gras, in the quintessential Louisiana Mardi Gras colors of purple, yellow, greens and gold. To crown it all off, I'm also sharing a delicious Cajun Bloody Mary cocktail recipe, which is perfect to add to your bar cart and serve at your Mardi Gras party!
Valentine's Day is 'round the corner, and if you need a delicious, easy to make and oh-so-pretty cocktail to serve at your party, or to your best gals, then this post is for you! I've been into hibiscus cocktails since last summer, as I just love the pretty colors and floral notes it gives to any drink. So naturally, I turned to hibiscus to add a touch of " je ne sais quoi " to my classic Margarita cocktail recipe!
This post is sponsored by Best You at Publix . The opinions and text are all mine. My intentions for this year are to be kinder to myself, to take time to enjoy the little things, and to generally create more hygge moments in my everyday life! Hygge is a Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality with feelings of wellness and contentment. And this is exactly what I had in mind when I created this winter breakfast bar!
Winter rhymes with cozy, comforting food. And a cheese fondue sure ticks both boxes! A few years ago, I shared my recipe for a traditional French Savoyard Cheese Fondue here on the blog . It's the perfect cheese fondue recipe for entertaining! But this year, I was inspired to re-vamp and make my cheese fondue a little lighter and easier to prepare. Hence this delicious Camembert cheese fondue, baked in its own box and served on a board of rainbow-colored veg!

'Tis the season for entertaining, and you can't go wrong with setting up a bountiful grazing board to feed your guests! Grazing boards have been so popular and trending on Pinterest for a couple of years now, and I can totally understand why! They are so quick and easy to put together, and are always a crowd-pleaser. Hence today's chocolate grazing board, which turns out to be the perfect dessert or treat to serve during the Thanksgiving festivities!
