It’s officially fall which in my book means several things, but one aspect in particular gets me excited – pumpkins, spice, and everything nice! The fall flavors and scents give me all the cozy vibes and Miami temperatures aside I’m feeling the seasonal transition full-on. And I’ve been celebrating in all the best ways – […]

Omg December is flying by!!! I absolutely adore Christmas. Everything about it. Especially the baking and the cookies. I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share this post – things down here have been in full swing between Basel and the holidays and life. Christmas in Miami definitely feels a bit strange, but I’m […]

Chocolate and Halloween go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly Happy Halloween ya’ll! Here’s a riddle for ya: what’s scarier than Halloween…? A Halloween without chocolate! Can’t even imagine. Add a craving for baked goods with some fall spices and bam you’ve got double chocolate chai muffins. So good it’s scary. Pure magic. I’ve been away […]

What do you do with a bunch of brown bananas? Make (paleo) banana bread of course! My friend was about to toss a whole bunch of bananas that were well beyond ripe. I hate watching food to waste. I simply said those would be perfect for banana bread. My friend paused and held them up […]

Well it’s official – I’m on an avocado smoothie kick! After last week’s green superfood avocado smoothie, I decided to get inspiration from my own recipe and made a dark chocolate avocado smoothie. Like the avocado chocolate mousse, this smoothie is super smooth and creamy, and full of decadent chocolate flavor. But I went superfood […]

The Easter egg hunts, dying the easter Eggs, the cute little Easter dresses, the chocolate rabbits, the jelly beans…. oh and those peanut butter loaded Reese’s eggs! Controversies around peanut butter aside, I […]

Key Lime Pie Vibes I just spent nearly a week down in south Florida, and Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day. I’m pretty sure there could be no more perfect time to share this refreshing green recipe. Key lime pie is named after key limes from the Florida keys, so naturally key lime pie is a […]

The Magical Mood Boosting Powers of Chocolate Cake Chocolate cake makes everything better. Fact. And what makes the most better-making chocolate cake even better? Making it paleo. And making it on a Monday. I woke up with a serious case of the Monday Blues yesterday. I’ve been getting over a stubborn cold, haven’t been sleeping […]

Alll the Chocolate chip cookies please So we all know the love affair I have with chocolate. I’ve always had that sweet tooth, but chocolate in any form has always won. Chocolate cake. Fudge. Chocolate bars. Nutella crepes. Chocolate chip cookies. Melted chocolate. Chocolate truffles. Brownies. Double chocolate chip cookies… You get the point. But […]

The Peanut Butter to my Chocolate It’s been ages since I’ve made brownies. Because brownies are just too delicious. I try *not* to bake all the time these days, because when I do it’s hard *not* to eat the whole batch in two days. And because it’s hard to bake yummy treats without all the […]
