BERRY COCONUT GRANOLA



There's nothing (and by “nothing” I really mean NOTHING) easier than a homemade granola. Mix, bake and eat. And what's even better is, that there's no need to feel bad afterwards, because it's much healthier than store bought granola, which contains loads of added sugar and artificial ingredients. Win-win.
So make a list of your desired ingredients and go to your nearest health food store or visit farmers markets and buy them! What I personally enjoy the most when making granola is the possibility to customize the ingredients to suit my tastes AND I can make it with whatever ingredients I have on hand.
Try it sprinkled over your oatmeal bowl or yoghurt, with a splash of your favorite milk or simply take a handful (yes, just like that); and be a granola-obsessed-person with me!

THE PERFECT 10 KOOKIE


Have you heard about Karlie’s Kookies? And what about „The Perfect 10 Kookie“created by tall supermodel („cookie monster“as she calls herself) Karlie Kloss and Momofuku Milk Bar genius Christina Tosi? Well, now you have.

These cookies are dairy-free, gluten-free and sweetened with agave, made with all natural ingredients. I know what you’re thinking: No milk, no eggs and no sugar?! How could this be tasty?
I assure you that PERFECT 10 KOOKIES are delicious as well as nutritious and are perfect for breakfast (ehm, for ANY TIME actually). They are nothing but fantastic. I mean, really fantastic - 100% GOOD! If you didn’t tell me, I would have no idea that they are dairy-free and gluten-free. I was blown away by these cookies kookies!

However they are not that cheap to make because they’re full of almond flour and almonds, but I simply changed the amount of ingredients a little and it turned out great as well as much more manageable in terms of cost.

Would I make these again? An absolute one hundred percent YES! And you know what? These cookies taste like homemade granola only with just enough liquid to bake into cookie shapes; so GET READY GRANOLA FANS AND BAKE BAKE BAKE!

I’m currently grieving the fact that I only have one. cookie. left. And I baked them yesterday! Whoooops.

Don't forget to taste the dough from the bowl - just like Karlie did!

CARROT, SPINACH & BUCKWHEAT SALAD


Today, to welcome the arrival of April in my kitchen, I decided to cook something light, easy and quick. My taste buds crave nothing but carrot recently, thus I cooked carrot, spinach and buckwheat salad tossed with green lentils and raisins and mixed with a tahini, lemon, olive oil and maple dressing. It may sound like a long title for an easy dish (I admit), but I swear it’s really super duper easy.
