How is your week? Rainy? Still en vacances? Mine has been busy and also included 2 interviews about my blog after a surprise article in the newspaper last weekend. Fun! The journalist who wrote this, found me through Pinterest! Double fun 😉 These are a few photos of the beautiful artichokes that grew in the Read article…

Blueberries and pinkberries
It's August! Can you believe it? These are some pictures of the 63 blueberries before I turned them into yogurt granola bars. We picked almost a kilo of blueberries at the wonderful Jardin de Montplaisir. I loved their pink, blue and purple hues and the way my sister's dress matched 😉 Have a wonderful weekend! Read article…
Blueberry Yogurt Granola Bars
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I'm currently slightly obsessed with making icecream. It's summer and we're not going on holiday anytime soon, so a (n)ice cold treat is more than welcome. With exactly 63 of the blueberries (picked at the Jardin de Montplaisir) I made these frozen yogurt granola bars. The berries Read article…
Les Jardins de Montplaisir
Remember when I mentioned that I wish we had a Farmer's Market around here? Well we still don't have one, but we do have a garden in the Oise where you can pick your own fruit, veggies and flowers, called les Jardins de Montplaisir. All seasonal, natural, although not 100% organic. I loved it, it Read article…
On a quest for peas
I wouldn't suggest it's the secret to a happy marriage, but our Sunday walks are pretty good. Robert and I tend to walk somewhere between 12 to 17 kms and bring water and snacks. Usually I whip up some sugar-free cookies or little cakes and we always bring some fruit too. Although it's so much Read article…
Sweet green peas
The other day I picked a few beans from a field. At home I watched more closely and realized it were green peas! I cooked them and ate them straight away. They were so very delicious and sweet and had the most beautiful pale green color. Now all I want to do is go back Read article…
Super easy Cherry ice cream
We had a busy and hot week so I made this very easy ice cream… twice! First with some beautiful strawberries from a local farmer and then again with these pretty cherries. Both flavors tasted really good and refreshing and it's actually a pretty healthy treat too. So I decided to share the super easy Read article…
Frozen Indian Cress
Do you recognize this? That you want to try something because you saw it somewhere, without knowing where you saw it? That's what happened to me last week when I wanted to freeze a bunch of Indian cress flowers. One of my Nasturtium plants is growing so fast that we can't keep up eating flowers Read article…
sugar free Rhubarb cake
Rhubarb always reminds me of the sugary rhubarb compote my mom used to make us as a kid. As we kind of banned sugar from our kitchen, I wondered what to make of these beautiful rhubarb stalks: On Instagram, Jessica suggested to use agave syrup in stead of sugar, which worked like a charm. Just Read article…
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! I wish you all a sunny and cosy Sunday with your loved ones. I know I'll be eating an extra egg today (without cactus of course) 😉
