Lemon curd parfaits
Here is a quick and very good looking dessert (or snack). Lemon curd adds all the necessary sugar so no need to sweeten the yogurt beforehand. The almond granola [https://travel-and-food.com/2019/05/crunchy-granola/] is perfect for this, it is crunchy with big bits of almonds for good textures!

Prosciutto, gorgonzola and pear pizza
A quick dinner if you’re using store-bought pizza dough. 10 minutes to make, 10 minutes to bake : amazing. It is so good!
Lemon & blueberries ricotta pancakes
I know, this is more of a holiday/weekend breakfast when you have actual time to make it but also to enjoy it! But you can absolutely prep the batter the day before and just cook your pancakes in the morning.
Fluffy lemon and kefir cake
Have you ever heard of kefir? Don’t run please. It is basically fermented milk. It gives cakes, pancakes and all sorts of sweet treats a wonderful fluffiness. It tastes like yogurt but is much runnier.
All chocolate banana loaf
This cake is like a banana bread but fudgier, like a chocolate fondant but way more addictive! This recipe is unbelievable, we ate it so fast... I must make a new batch soon because a slice for breakfast makes for a perfect start of the day.
Granola and yogurt fruit tart
I like granola in my morning yogurt but this time it is upside down. A granola cup filled with yogurt and topped with delicious fresh fruits. It makes a killer breakfast (or dessert)!
Pomegranate and pistachios pearl pasta salad
A pasta salad that does not contain mayonnaise because I am so tired of mayo pasta salad y’all! I added pistachios and pomegranate for some crunch and freshness.
Vanilla panna cotta with strawberry coulis
Here is a sunny treat for y’all today because french strawberries are back on the market stall and I couldn’t be happier. It just feels good to add a little bit of variety to my shopping list and some colors too!
Chia seeds banana bread muffins
Banana bread muffins with chia seeds, why? Well, chia seeds are pretty, very aesthetic and add a little crunch. But that is not why I did that : they are full of antioxydants and a good plant protein source too.
Baked egg custard
Baked egg custard is a dessert I absolutely love! Super easy to make and a sweet childhood memory of mine. I add a dash of vanilla because it is so good like that… If you like really sweet egg custard, feel free to put more sugar in there.
Big chocolate chunks banana bread (dairy free)
I rarely do dairy free baking just because we don’t mind dairies. But I have a friend who just had a baby and I wanted to drop a little snack for the mama who can’t eat lactose. So here I got… A delicious dairy free banana bread with big chunks of chocolate.
Lime and almond shortbreads
Those shortbreads are absolutely perfect with the afternoon tea. The almond powder makes them very fluffy and the lime zest gives in a nice fresh taste. You can easily store them in an airtight container for a few days but… you probably won’t.
Shepherd's pie
You probably already know what a shepherd’s pie is, but I was not familiar with the concept at all! It is sort of the US version of what we call hachis parmentier here in France.
Pear almond tart
Last week I posted a how-to make your own powdered almond. Here is what I did with mine ; a delicious pear almond tart. Deliciously generous and so satisfying. I love this dessert…
Winter spiced hot chocolate
What is your favorite comfort drink for winter? I always had a thing for a good hot chocolate! I made a dairy version but make it dairy free by adding almond milk and omit the sour cream. This hot chocolate is creamy and thick, so comforting and not too sweet.
Homemade chocolate and peanuts granola bars
Afternoon snacks are not only for kids in the household! Mama’s working hard and need some fuel comes 4pm. A big cup of tea and a little snack. It is so easy to grab store bought granola bars or cookies from a drawer but I always try to do a homemade treat.
Butternut cake with cream cheese frosting
Why on Earth would you put butternut squash in a cake? I mean we already put carrots, beets and sometimes zucchinis so I figured why not? This picture doesn’t do it justice AT ALL. It is really moist and delicious.
Chicken with apples and cider
Fall vibes, am I right? Apples, cider, chicken… You just can’t do better than that for a fall themed dinner. Let’s dig in!
Chocolate and hazelnuts cookies
If you landed here, you might be as gourmand as me! And you’ll have a run for your money with this amazing recipe : chocolate and hazelnuts cookies. So decadent.
Colorful zucchini quiche
After a well deserved break here on the blog, I am back with a delicious zucchini quiche. A close friend gave those zucchinis to me, I’d never seen orange ones before, have you??
