A year & half ago when I started this blog, I told you that I am not a baker by any means but actually the more I follow my passion & explore deeper into the cooking world, the more I fall in love with baking. Actually, it has this calming & relaxing effect more than any thing in the world. At the end of day, I am a cake addict so how come I wasn’t into baking?

LIGHT DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS
Got some over over ripe bananas that you are going to get rid of? Please wait & give those double chocolate banana muffins a try!
They happen to be “double chocolate” with melting chocolate oozing out of them yet they are still healthier & lighter than other recipes!

I know it’s partying day & you don’t have time to read a long post so I am keeping this short but I couldn’t let this pass without sharing with you my favorite gingerbread recipe. Continue reading “GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH SUGAR GLAZE”
CHOCOLATE FUDGE MINI CAKES
It’s Christmas time again!
Baking cookies, preparing delicious food & bringing the whole family together! Is there any better dessert to bring to your Christmas dinner other than chocolate; especially when it is those cute little fudge cakes?
BAKED PUMPKIN WITH BECHAMEL
As promised, pumpkin pumpkin recipes every week :)
One of the best pumpkin recipes in the whole world. There might be pumpkin cake, pie, pudding, cake .. you name it but still this old fashioned baked pumpkin with bechamel remains the top of all pumpkin desserts!
Soft, sweet & buttery roasted pumpkin cubes are topped with a creamy layer of bechamel & baked until golden & all bubbly.
PUMPKIN FRENCH TOAST
It seems that this is the year of discovering new tastes & falling in love with them!
I hated pumpkin all my life whether sweet or savory; I just found it too bland for me. Ever since I started blogging, I noticed the hype that happens in the blog world around pumpkin season. Everybody & I mean everybody is posting pumpkin recipes all over the world! I felt the urge to give it a new try; it doesn’t make sense that all the world loves pumpkin except for me!
OLIVE OIL, YOGHURT & ZUCCHINI CAKE
As I told you before, I am not a professional baker but serving my family a homemade cake every week is a must so I am always playing around in the kitchen :)
I was never a fan of frosted cakes (except for carrot cake of course), I always prefer old fashioned cakes that you enjoy with a cup of coffee without feeling so guilty & heavy! I have been trying to develop a honey cake recipe for almost 2 years but they always came out a total disaster.
CHOCOLATE DIRT CAKE

Yes, I don’t like dirt cake at all. I bought it from every single store that sells it & still … I HATE it. I don’t know but I always find it too sweet & watery; mmm … not my kinda dessert.
This Easter my kids are almost 2 years old & I really want them to start enjoying all our Easter traditions but they are still too young for coloring/painting eggs (we will end up with an EGG mess … I am sure hahaha). I searched the Internet for other creative ideas that my kids can enjoy & came across hundreds of dirt cake recipes. I liked the idea a lot as my kids will love decorating those little pots because they are now very interested in learning about trees, flowers & plants.
Besides, I couldn’t believe how easy it is to prepare this stunning looking dessert. NO baking whatsoever is required, just some crushing, mixing & whipping woohooo.
CLASSICAL FRENCH TOAST

I know French toast seems like a regular recipe that anyone can prepare at home!
BUT NO. A BIG FAT NO!
Let me tell you my story with French toast.
I have been making French toast for ages; it’s just some milk & eggs beaten together with some flavorings! No need for a recipe, right?
Mine came out tasting nice but the texture always varied from a little dry to soggy although I made sure I never under or over soaked my toast so why the inconsistency in texture?
