Last week my sister told me about a chocolate cake recipe in which you’d substitute the butter or oil with grated zucchini, and since then it’s been on my mind and I really wanted to give this ‘technique” a try.

Here’s an easy cake recipe that combine two of my favorite flavors everrrrr: banana and chocolate. Seriously, any combination of these two turns out delicious.

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…
