It is so crazy how this little superberry from the Amazon, called açaí, has become so popular in the recent years. Açaí bowls have been consumed in my home country Brazil for ages though. And back when I was still living there, like 10 years ago, when I still was a junk-food-vegetarian and didn’t even…
Super quick and easy spicy tomato relish
I know it’s easy to just buy sauces in jars, and there are a lot of good ones out there. But when you make your own sauce or relish at home it just tastes so much better. Besides most sauces you get from the shops are loaded with sugars or preservatives. And you can make…
Sweet potato brownies with sour cherries
This recipe has been in my list of “foods to try” for a long time. I don’t know why it took me so long to make it! I really didn’t know what I was missing. I first came across this recipe on Deliciously Ella a while back and thought it would be interesting to bake…

I have realised this blog has been abandoned for a while. Life has been so busy that I am struggling to find time to cook interesting food, I have been surviving on stir frys and pastas lately. But hopefully things will change soon! Anyways, I made these protein balls a couple of weeks ago and…
Cheesy and smoky baked kale chips
If you’re looking for a crispy and crunchy snack, instead of going for that bag of oily potato chips why not make your own kale chips? They’re so easy to make and so addictive to eat. You can play with herbs and spices and create your own flavour combination. I used smoked paprika and nutritional…
