Here’s a peek at what kept me busy the past few days! Arnaud and I bought this table at a thrift store when we first moved in our new place in Cincinnati last February. The apartment wasn’t furnished, so we had to buy everything we needed quite in a rush since we were moving there from Belgium and obviously were not able to bring furniture with us. The table was really cheap, was the perfect size, and most of all,…
this July we got to go back home for a fun vacation with our family and friends! We spent three wonderful weeks in Belgium and France. We traveled around quite a bit in order to see as many people as we could! Our errands led us, among others, to the beautiful Belgian cities of Ostende, Liege, tiny Louftémont, but also to the gorgeous and sunny South of France (Homps and Montlauzun)! We came back to Cincinnati our suitcases filled with…
Monday was a good day ! My first task when we got back to Cincinnati after three amazing weeks in our dear Belgium was to go to the grocery store to somewhat refill our fridge and food cupboards that were desperately empty. When I arrived at the store, I couldn’t help but notice that there was a huge discount on the Biscoff spread jars (Biscoff, or speculoos as we call it back home, is a traditional and delicious Belgian cookie…

These baked sweet potatoes require a little wait because the have to go twice in the oven, but they don’t need a lot of an effort to make. Plus, they are delicious, flavorful, and display a lot of pretty colors in your plate 🙂 I came up with this recipe the other night when Arnaud wasn’t home, and I think he was…
I’ve been wanting to bake a carrot loaf for a while (or it was suggested to me multiple times by my very good friend Ralph 🙂 ). I based this recipe on a classic carrot cake recipe, modifying it a little, among other things by adding fresh orange juice to make it more moist and add a pop of flavor, and by lowering the amount of butter and sugar. The result is a super flavorful and soft loaf, with a slightly caramelized…
Transformation Tuesday! Here’s a fun and easy project I made to bring a pop of colors into our apartment. Those who know us can tell you we like anything colorful (and golden if you ask me)! We had this basic and boring lamp, two adjectives that we don’t like much at home 😉 I started by replacing the lampshade by a much larger one we also had at home, which gave a more imposing presence to the lamp. The new…
