  How was your long weekend? I hope you had a blast with people you love! We wanted to visit our beloved mountain village and to spend a few relaxing days close to nature. We managed to gain a kilo or so, the food was that good!    Going back home I knew I had to try low calories recipes. This is where this plate comes along. It can be your breakfast, lunch or dinner. So versatile...

There are times where you just feel out of control. As a control freak,  I really hate that! This is exactly what happened to me this February. Time went busy so quickly I just I barely had time to breathe… Some days I felt that I was chasing my daily schedule. Every single morning I woke up full of energy and ideas and then the same evening (around 21:30) I was lying around the couch...

Cheese cakes are my favorite desser to experiment. I always try new versions even though I have posted just a feww of them. Chocolate, lemon, strawberry with vanilla base, oreo base the choices are just endless. The one seen in the pics above was made for a family dinner. The oreo bases goes perfrectly with strawberry flavored cream. Colorful sprinkes were used both in the base and the...

  Happy New Year!! Hope you had a good time during the holiday season with the people you love the best. May the New Year bring you joy and happiness! I would really love to say that we had an incredible time with Penelope making the cookies but it wasn’t such the case. The photos are misleading. Let’s start of the beginning; for a long time I wanted to start involving my...

The mini Pavlovas were the dessert of our family Christmas meal (check it out here). These fluffy and light as air sweets were definitely a hit on our table. If you want to read more about the origin of this dessert you can read here more. In my version I used chocolate meringue and my beloved red fruits (raspberries to be more exact). The crème is Nutella based and so so...

Merry Christmas!!! Hope you had an amazing time with tons of happy moments. I had lots of fun with my family. Also I had a couple days off work so I had the time to prepare everything and be calm and joyful during Christmas. We also had time to hit the cinemas with Penelope and with Giannis. As I already mentioned before, each year I cook our family Christmas meal it is like...

Christmas is the most magical time of the year. It’s not only the Christmas lights, decorations and presents. It’s the love, the family moments, spending time with the people that matter to you the most. The glaze in Penelope’s eyes when she opens the presents, the smell of fresh cooking and baking in our kitchen are the true meaning of Christmas in my humble opinion. This is exactly...

Each year I am baking holiday cupcakes. It’s like a personal tradition of mine. Usually I bake all the Greek traditional Christmas sweets (like kourampiedes and melomakarona). But my cupcakes are different every year. Mostly often I end up buying some kourampiedes and melomakarona (lack of time). But I always find time to bake my holiday cupcakes. I love decorating them; I find them...

This recipe is closing the trilogy of exploiting 12 eggs. The first recipe was this one αυτήν την συνταγή and the second can be found here. με αυτήν εδώ. I was really curious to try this recipe that seems a little heavy at first because of the so many yolks. They tasted extra yummy, they didn’t lose shape when baked and can be excellent decoration cookies....

<p>Angel Food Cake, the food of the angels. And boy does that cake stands to its name. It is the fluffiest and most light flavored cake I ever taste yet. Needless to say it lasted for a day when I baked it? In a house where there are not many cake funs (just me). You may blame it to its fluffiness? Or to the lack of butter and fat? Either way you only need six ingredients for this...
