Quand on a envie de banane! – Cake à la banane et flocons d’avoine
I think I am getting into a “oat phase” these days. I try to put oats and oat bran wherever I can. Oat bran, oat flour, rolled oats, anything oat makes me happy, besides I love my fibers. I had bought too many bananas (I forgot I [...]

Muffins à l’avoine, poires et amandes
Usually for breakfast I like my multi grain toasts with no desire to change but once in a while I like to treat myself with some fancy little bites like these ones. I would have called those mini cakes (which in French gâteaux are what those are), but I feel [...]

Pudding de quinoa à la noix de coco et salade de mangues à la menthe et rhum
I had a lot of fun this weekend, playing in my kitchen. I love to spend time trying out new recipes and exploring new ideas. Unfortunately it does not happen as often as I’d like due to lack of time, and trying to [...]

Petits gâteaux à faibles calories, au chocolat, amandes et fèves de cacao
More sweets!!!!….for someone who doesn’t eat sweets, two posts in a row with cakes sounds like too much.

Gâteau aux amandes sans gluten
I have been playing around with this recipe for a while, changing quantities and I finally managed to like this version which is moist and soft.
I am not necessarily pro or against gluten. I think if people have problems with it, then it should be removed from one’s [...]

Petit-déjeûner et déjeûner – Puddng de graines de chia à la noix de coco, pistaches et bananes
Since chia is all over the place, and that everyone is talking about it in the nutrition world as a miracle little seed, I decided to try it out too. I used to sprinkle it on top of yogurt or fruits, but [...]

Merveilleuses amandes, deuxième partie – Délicieux gâteau aux amandes
I love this cake, I love it even more because I used the almond pulp that was left while making almond milk. So there is no waste in the process.
In France in January we celebrate Epiphany, and we eat the traditional Kings cake [...]

Ca dépend d’où vous êtes – flammkuchen ou tarte flambée au saumon
Growing up in Lorraine, and Lorraine being Alsace’s close neighbor, I am quite familiar with tarte flambée, which is an Alsacian Specialty (they eat it in Germany and close regions as well). It’s literally translated into “flamed [...]

C’est mignon et ça se mange – Mini madeleines à la tangerine et cointreau
I cannot believe it took me a month to post those. Where did the time go? I miss the days I was able to post more often and I hope that things will slow down soon.
As you know, in the US, everything is big and in France [...]
