No-bake puffed quinoa chocolate desserts topped with freeze-dried raspberries and coconut flakes

No-Bake Puffed Quinoa Chocolate Dessert (No Added Sugar)

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. That’s […]

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 […]

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. You already know I can’t live without my little sweet moments throughout the day (yes, plural, because let’s be honest, it’s a multiple-times-a-day […]

I don’t know about you, but I always get that inevitable post-meal sweet craving. It’s like my lunch or dinner isn’t truly complete without a little moment of indulgence 😋.

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

Thai Tea Layer Cake

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

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”. 😆 […]
