Here I am, back in Belgium for a few weeks, and it feels so good being able to spend some time with my amazing family! Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with two cuties (my sister’s baby boy and my brother’s daughter) and together we baked these yummy coconut and chocolate chip mini cakes. The recipe is adapted from one I found in my favorite book as a kid (of course my favorite book was about baking!). I think I’ve done this recipe about a billion…
With the return of the warmer weather, it is the perfect opportunity to give this delicious ice cream recipe a shot. If you’re like Arnaud and I and love peanut butter, chocolate, and above all any combination of these two, then this recipe is for you!

I had been wanting to bake some scones for a while and decided it was time to give it a try! I opted for a coffee mocha version (my favorite drink of the moment!).

The frosting is great too and will melt in your mouth, although it is so much healthier than regular buttercream frosting -and it is super easy to make too! The secret ingredient that allowed me not to use butter and to reduce the amount of sweetener in…

I then started to experiment and learned how to make it myself, only to find out that homemade pie crust is not only really easy to make, but it is also so much better and crispier than the one you buy ready to use. No reasons not to try it then! This crust is perfect for quiches, pies,…
Is it Friday yet? Here’s a recipe to help you get through the end of this week in style. As you might have noticed, I LOVE pancakes: they are delicious, easy to make, and they are different than the average and boring breakfast or make a great afternoon snack. What’s not to like, right? I love playing around with the ingredients and add some variations to the traditional pancake recipe, making them interesting from a nutrition point of view or…
