The other day, while looking through my kitchen cupboards, I realized I had small amounts of several ingredients left: 6 dates, half a bag of puffed quinoa, a handful of coconut flakes from another recipe, and some freeze-dried raspberries that I wanted to use before they lost their crunch.

Mini Sour Cherry Tarts with Vanilla Pastry Cream and Italian Meringue
The other day, a friend pointed out that there were not many sour cherry recipes on the blog. Since sour cherries are my absolute favorite fruit, I had to admit she was right. 😁 That’s how these mini sour cherry tarts with vanilla pastry cream and Italian meringue came to […]
Cottage Cheese Protein Ice Cream with Salted Date Caramel
I rarely make ice cream, so I even managed to surprise myself this time by choosing a chocolate-free version! 🫣 As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, my main goal this year is increasing my daily protein intake. That’s why I decided to whip up a high-protein cottage cheese ice cream […]
Brownie Sandwich Cookies with Mango Ganache and Raspberry
Recently, an exotic fruit shop opened in our neighborhood, and I quickly became a regular. After my first visit, I knew my wallet was in trouble 🫣, but my taste buds were so happy (my scale, on the other hand, started looking at me funny 😅). Everything I’ve tried from […]
High-Protein Banana Brownies
Since we’ve officially stepped into 2026 with fresh energy, I’ve set a resolution that satisfies both my fitness progress and my cravings: adding more protein to my daily diet.

White Chocolate Ganache Swiss Roll with Mango and Tonka
The first time I made this White Chocolate Ganache Swiss Roll, we were invited to friends’ house for dinner.

Thai Tea Cake with Coconut Cream and Mascarpone
During our trip to Thailand last November, I received a bag of Thai tea from “Georgei” 😂 (George & Jay), along with many other goodies. I have to admit, I only drink tea when I’m sick – otherwise, I’m firmly on Team Coffee. But they mentioned that this particular tea […]
Soft & Fluffy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
I finally got around to making the famous cinnamon rolls! I have no idea how I managed to put them off for so long, but I’m so glad I did. Over the past few weekends, I’ve been mixing, rolling, baking, and tweaking the recipe until I landed on the perfect […]
Snickers Swiss Roll with Salted Caramel and Chocolate
Over the past year, I’ve made more caramel desserts than I can count, and I can officially say I’m completely obsessed with caramel. I blame my friends, who keep sending me photos of irresistible caramel treats almost every day and somehow always convince me to make “just one more”. 😆 […]
