With all these chemicals added to all the chocolate spreads, I don’t buy them anymore. Even getting the organic ones, they still contain some added fats that are not necessarily healthier, even if organic, like palm oil. I had in mind to make one that would not contain added sugar either. With cocoa powder and dark chocolate, I had to … Continue reading
Sometimes, on weekend morning, we have a more elaborate breakfast. Last weekend, I decided to add some variety to the pancake recipe I usually make. There are also so many gluten free flours, it’s so nice to play with them. They all have their characteristic. I find buckwheat flour is a great substitute for whole … Continue reading
If you have a craving for chocolate but don’t want too many calories or fat, it is really a great one! You could also serve it with fresh berries in the summer, and you have a fresh, light and quick dessert. You could also make this recipe with grounded chia seeds if you don’t want too … Continue reading
I’ve been blogging for a year now. When I first started, I just wanted to share my recipes with some people. I didn’t really have a goal, no photography experience. Now my goal is to give alternatives to meat to reduce our environmental impact and improve our health, make you discover food, spices, herbs… and … Continue reading

“This is amazingly gooood” were the words my daughter said when she had the cake for dessert yesterday. Of course, the fact that it was coming out of the oven really helped. The chocolate was melted and the cake was still a bit warm. I haven’t been cooking much this summer, I never do in … Continue reading
Like a lot of people, I’ve been enjoying the heat of the summer for the past few week. Cooking a bit but not much, gardening and just relax. That’s why I haven’t been writing much, but I still have ideas in my mind. Slowly but surely getting back in my routine and thinking of our … Continue reading
Last week I made this recipe but as muffin. I found the taste was good but too dense to make little cakes. I just thought that if it was thiner, it would be perfect. I decided then to try to make bars, and the texture is just perfect now. Since I haven’t made any in … Continue reading
Chia seed is considered a superfood. It has only been recently that we rediscovered this ancient seed. It has been cultivated and used by Azteques and the Mayan for thousands of years. This little dessert is quick and could not be easier to make. It’s raw, so all the nutriments are all intact. I make … Continue reading
