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

Blueberry and chocolate pancakes
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

Chocolate granola cereal
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
Gluten free brownie cookies
On this one I was told by my kids that they were not good but they were “Amazing”! You can hardly know that those are gluten free. I am not saying that those are super healthy but they are a treat. They are soft and tender and I find that adding walnuts cuts the sweetness … Continue reading

Banana dates loaf cake
“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
Gluten free chocolate and espresso cookies
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
Gluten free chocolate and nut bars
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
Chocolate chia poudding
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
