This French salted caramel and chocolate tart is the perfect dessert for Valentine's Day or any other occasion when you need your chocolate fix, but don't want to spend ages in the kitchen! This tart is my own spin on the classic French tarte au chocolat , and is SO quick and easy to make and only requires a few store-cupboard ingredients, with very minimal baking involved! Not to mention that it tastes mega delicious and looks oh-so pretty too!
With Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl around the corner, I thought I'd share this delicious salted caramel popcorn recipe with you guys! My daughter and I make it on a regular basis for our movie nights on the weekends, and it's the perfect snack for either occasion! In fact, I don't think there's any celebration where salted caramel popcorn wouldn't be welcome, am I right?! 🍿😉
Epiphany is nearly upon us so I thought I'd share a super delicious, but really easy to make dessert that is so popular this time of year in France - the Galette des Rois or Three Kings Cake ! This is really a tart or pie sort of "cake" that dates back to medieval times, and is meant to celebrate the feast of the three wise men or three kings from the nativity of Christ. The Epiphany feast is held on the 6th of January each year, and this dessert is therefore eaten on this day of course, but folks start enjoying it as early as January 1st in my experience living in France.
This post is the bomb. Literally! Sorry, couldn't help myself, it's all the Christmas spirit! 😁 Anyways, today I'm showing you how to make hot cocoa chocolate bombs, from scratch, at home, in a super easy and fun way! These hot cocoa bombs are perfect for adding a little fun to your hot chocolate station, Christmas movie marathon or simply wrap them up to give to someone you love!
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!
This post is sponsored by the National Peanut Board . I received compensation, but all opinions and content are my own. When the weather turns colder, I reach for the hot chocolate. Are you the same? It's the perfect, comforting drink and one of the perks of winter for me! In fact, it's a tradition this time of year in our house to have a hot chocolate station set up with mugs, toppings and fun treats in our kitchen, ready for when the craving for a mug of hot cocoa hits. And this year, I've upped the ante on my go-to hot chocolate recipe, with peanut butter!
As promised in last week's winter soup party post, today I'm sharing our go-to, delicious and healthy winter soup recipes. I say we, because in fact these are my husband's soup recipes and we even recorded a little video for you below to share how we made them! 😊
The Oscars are this Sunday, and if you need some dazzling, gorgeous and glam recipes, but that are also a cinch to make ( 'cause we need time for dressing up too!), then this post will come in handy! I love watching the Oscars at home with my gals, and making it a girls' night-in event with manis, pedis and general girly fun. But the boys have been known to sneak in from time to time... mainly because of all the delicious treats on offer! 😁 So here's a selection of family-favorites to help make your Oscars Party a winner!
Valentine's Day is 'round the corner, and if you need a simple, yet totally delicious (not to mention adorable-looking) dessert, then we have your back, girlfriend! We added a raspberry note to this tasty parfait to counterbalance the sweetness going on with the delicious cinnamon-flavored cookie crumb layer and the Irish Cream liqueur cheesecake filling! Oh, and did I mention it's also a NO-BAKE dessert? Talk about the perfect love day recipe, right?! 😍
My favorite part of the Christmas Holidays is cooking and baking well into the New Year. It's my way of showing my family and friends how much I love them. I feed, therefore I love 😋 But I also like putting my feet up and enjoy their company, so I tend to go for big batch recipes, stuff I can make ahead or easy bang-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-about-it type of recipes. Hence this tasty Christmas roast pork with a gorgeous herbs and mustard crust, which I served at my Christmas meal last year!
When it come to Holiday entertaining, it's always a great idea to serve a big-batch punch or signature cocktail that your guests can get stuck into straight away. Something that involves little effort, and maximum satisfaction is my motto. So for my Silver & Blue Cocktail and Appetizers party I shared earlier in the week, I did just that. Serving up a batch cocktail like this means you can prep it in advance and just forget about it, which in turn leaves you free to mingle and enjoy the party! Something we tend to forget sometimes at parties we host ourselves (sound familiar?) 😉
