I certainly haven't felt my best over the last couple of weeks. The weather has been dreary, I didn't get enough good night sleep and the beginning of the season somehow caught me off guard. But with every low comes a high, doesn't it? The high for me was creating this amazing little treat. And, without doubt, they are the best glutenfree chocolate cookies I've ever made. What makes this chocolate cookie better than any I've ever had before, is while they appear to be a simple dark ...

Once in a while we all have our sugar cravings! Browse through my non-savory inspirations & satisfy your sweet tooth!
Vegan Strawberry Lemon Cake & spring vibes
Yes, it's officially SPRING! And, yes, spring is my favorite season. To me, spring means smells and flavors everywhere... There's flowers blooming where ever you look, fresh produce pops up all over and I'm overflowing with fresh ideas! Also, season opening is right around the corner and I can't wait to welcome all of our guests with some lovely, fresh dishes coming from my kitchen. But before we'll dive right in, Easter is at our doorstep. Traditionally this means baking, sweets and ...
Superfood Energy Bliss Balls
What do you think about the term 'superfood'? Personally, I think it's a clever way to group together all kinds of nutrition dense foods, which provide your body with certain health benefits. Whether these are leafy greens like spinach, exotic seeds like chia or fancy fruit like açai or goji. All of them give your body some kind of extra nutritional value, resulting in better endurance, reduced stress levels or better overall health, to name only a few. In my humble opinion, anything which ...
Creamy Chocolate & Chestnut Mousse
Once in a while there is nothing better than chocolate. No, wait, actually there is. Chestnut and chocolate. While I do love the cold months because of snow, mulled wine and hot bowls of soup. I'm actually looking forward the most every year to roasted chestnuts. And the combination of chocolate and chestnut is heaven on earth to me. Naturally, this dessert is all I could ask for! It's really creamy and decadent. The earthy flavors of the chestnuts pair perfectly with the rich dark chocolate. ...
Pomegranate, Ginger & Rosemary Sirup
It's finally Winter! One of the great things about winter, apart from snow, drinking tea and eating cookies, is those awesome Winter fruits like pomegranate. Pomegranate is such a lovely addition to salads, grains or desserts. It's not too sweet and not too sour. Just perfectly balanced, which makes it extremely versatile. Not to forget it's beautiful lush color! Those red jewels make everything so festive and special. For this recipe I've tried to enhance pomegranate's natural beauty. I've ...
Healthy Zucchini Bundt Cake – perfect for any season!
Is there really such a thing as healthy cake, you ask? If there is, it definitely is this moist, fluffy Zucchini Bundt cake. Besides hiding vegetables into something sweet (which I absolutely love doing - sneaky-me ;)), this cake is made with extra-virgin olive oil! Which means lots of health benefits for you and your body. It's rich in monounsaturated fats and packed with antioxidants, which in my opinion is all I could ask for in a cake. The added walnuts and raisins or cranberries (whichever ...
