Let's be honest my friends: winter can be dreary... with temperatures around zero (at least in most some parts), snowfall, thunderstorms or rain showers, and short days drifting into early nights it can be a challenge to keep a sunny attitude. And it's only natural that in times like these we crave healthy yet satisfying food that lifts our spirit. Treats, snacks and dishes that compensate for the outer circumstances, so to say... This wintery homebaked granola is just that! It's... ...

Best GF Chocolate Cookies
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 ...
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. ...
Decadent Chocolate-Coconut-Cheesecake Bars
I'm often surprised how people react to vegan food. Especially to vegan treats or baked goods. It seems like we've spent so many decades basing our food creations on milk (produce) and eggs, that a lot of people are still hit by surprise when they eat a vegan treat without realizing it's vegan. And even liking it "despite" the fact that it's vegan - if you know what I mean ;). This happened when I first served these 3-layer Chocolate-Coconut-Cheesecake Bars. They are so ...
Cheesecake Brownies – gooey & moist
It’s been raining outside and my mood has been dull like the weather for the last couple of days or so. So, I thought, no excuses! Get you're a** moving, make some cheesecake brownies and shoot some pictures for the blog. Taking pictures for this page is something I seem to be having a love-and-hate relationship with. On the one hand, I enjoy being artistic (in small dozes) and there is so many food bloggers out there, which I adore because of their amazing pics. On the other hand, I ever too ...
Baked Chocolate Mousse Tarte
As you might already know, I offer dessert to our guests twice a week. I personally have a super-heavy sweet tooth, but I usually do not care for the overly rich and heavy type of sweets. I rather dig my fork into a light and creamy fruit based dessert than into a rich chocolate cake with heavy cream. However, occasionally I have chocolate cravings as well. So I came up with this semi-sweet baked chocolate mousse tart and it's the bomb. It's super rich and I bet you won't be able to go for ...
