Cakes and other sweet pastries are often not considered to be super healthy. A lot of sugar and fat is quite normal in a lot of baked goods. But there is another way. This slightly healthier Zucchini Banana Bread, for example. It is made without added sugar and still tastes as delicious and sweet as other types of banana bread. It works. You just have to know what to do… ;P
When it’s hot outside (and hot inside the apartment), we rarely cook. This does not mean we are not eating anything, but choosing foods that are easier to prepare and easier to digest is the name of the game in summer. This means salads are our preferred meals in summer. Something like this delicious Roasted Chickpea, Tomato & Feta Salad with Za’atar. Easy to prepare, healthy, and really tasty! What more could you want?!
We are huge raspberries fans and everything you can do with those berries. The little red-pink berries are really delicious! Whenever we can grab some (at a good price) from the farmers market, we love to make something delicious like this No-Bake Raspberry Cheesecake. Not only does it taste wonderful, it also looks really great, doesn’t it?! Serve something like that with a cup of coffee and everyone will be very happy!
Cherries are in season in summer – outside those few months, these delicious little fruits are rarely found in supermarkets. When they do appear in the market in winter, they are usually sold at exorbitant prices. For this reason, we recommend making the most of the cherries while in season. If you need a little inspiration, here is a small collection of cherry recipes – Our Top 15 Cherry Recipes – where these little red fellas are the stars! Get started before the season is over!
There is a lot you can do with zucchini. Many people will probably end up baking them in the oven – if all goes well, topped with plenty of cheese. ;P We like to use them to cook delicious Zucchini Chutney whenever possible. Chutneys are super easy to prepare and can be added to many dishes. We always have some kind of chutney or relish in the fridge. ;P
Summer is the season for cherries. As soon as they hit the farmers market, we normally grab a basket and snack the first ones on the way home already. What’s left, often ends up in a compote. Like the one we used here for these Mini Cheesecakes with Cherry Compote. Super easy and quick to make. What more could you want?! Another one, of course! ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
