I’ve been wanting to try watercolor for a while but never could find the time. Now that we moved to Cincinnati I finally have some more spare time and I decided to give it a try! After treating myself with a brand new set and having practice the technique for quite a bit, I decided it was time for me to start a useful project for a very special occasion. My cute little niece Loulou had her 2nd birthday at…
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.

Makes 2 glasses: 4 lemons 6-7 strawberries, rinsed and hulled Two glasses of ice cubes Sugar or sweetener of your choice (honey, liquid stevia, agave nectar,…), to taste Squeeze the lemons. In a…
This is the kind of classic US recipe I just can’t get enough of. I’ve been making it a billion times, because nothing beats a huge stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning (or any other day if you ask me)!
