In my quest for a healthy-yet-not-boring breakfast, here is my on-the-go version. These really soft cookies also make a great afternoon snack. They are better when eaten the same day they were baked, so you can make a lot and freeze most of them, then you just have to heat them in the oven for a few minutes whenever you feel like eating some. They are very lightly sweetened because that’s how I like my breakfast, but feel free to…

Our first year at NAU, we used to go to Starbucks and get a slice of this cake, but not too often since we had to pay for it ourselves and were little students on a budget.

When we came back to Belgium after two years in Flagstaff, Arnaud and I brought a little of this tradition back with us.
