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 ...

Weeknight Dinner: Ricotta & Pea Spring Pasta
Do you ever find yourself struggling to get everything fit into your day? Work, school, friends, sports, social media... the privilege of having all the opportunities we have comes with the price of having less to almost no time. While I, for my part, have been working on slowing down and concentrating on the important things in life, I still do know those days, when time just keeps slipping through your fingers and all you can spare for cooking is a mere 15 minutes.

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 ...
Everyday Heavenly Hummus from scratch
Hummus is something I never seem to grow tired of. Honestly, I could eat it everyday. On toast with fresh veggies for breakfast or on my lunch sandwich with some leafy greens and sprouts.

I still enjoy Italian food very much and a pasta or risotto is one of my favorite meals on weekdays. However, I also like playing around with recipes. Experimenting. Discovering new flavors and ...
