It's this time of the year again when my family and I gather in our kitchen and prepare the traditional Christmas biscuits we'll enjoy throughout the holidays! We love making them as gift for friends, teachers and other people we want to show appreciation to. This year I share an easy recipe of Almond and Cinnamon Biscuits - or 'Bredele' as ...
Halloween Bats Energy Balls (No-bake, Vegan)
Halloween is around the corner and this year I'll show you how to make these adorable bats full of bliss! I'm the kind of girl who loves Halloween - but not the scary side of it. I love lighted up carved pumpkins (or anything edible made of pumpkins as a matter of fact), spooky spider webs, black cats decorations, witch hats ... and bats of course. ...
Chocolate And Pear Cake With Mapple Caramelized Hazelnuts
Bright red leaves covering the trees, afternoon goûters to pack for school… autumn is in the air! I’m the kind of person who loves the change of season, all the more after the exceptionally long and warm summer we enjoyed in Finland.

Juicy cherries are layered in a buttered dish, topped with a creamy batter and baked in the oven. While we consider ...
Green Asparagus and Ricotta Clafoutis
A savory clafoutis, you may wonder? The French clafoutis is originally made with sweet cherries, baked in a flan-like mixture, composed of eggs, flour, sugar and milk. But clafoutis is so versatile you can also give it a savory twist! Rather than baking a pie or quiche with season's green asparagus, I turned them into a clafoutis, paired with ...
Chocolate Quinoa Nests & Easter Egg Energy Balls {Vegan}
When I was a child, it was the Easter bunny, or lièvre de Pâques, that brought us chocolate eggs at school or hid them in our garden. Of course like all kids, I would just eat as many eggs as I could get my hands on. Now as a (responsible) mom and true chocolate lover, I value good quality products and you know how those Easter eggs sold in shops ...
