Nutella and Berry Crepe Cake
Nutella and crepes, need I say more? Growing up my mom or Uncle Bob would make us kids crepes; our favourite filling was Nutella! Nutella may be a new food item for some, but not for me. I cannot remember a time where Nutella wasn’t apart of my life. Though, I have to admit it tasted a whole lot better back then. …
Banana Berry Cherry Ice Cream – Dairy & Sugar Free
Since I am on a restricted diet for the time being, I have been looking for creative and delicious treats. While my family enjoys regular ice cream and sundaes I was feeling left out, I wanna enjoy a cone too! I cannot have sugar, or dairy at the moment so this fruit ice cream maker is just perfect for me!…
Quince Marmalade – Recel Ftoi
Quince Marmalade or Jam, Recel Ftoi in Albanian is my moms favourite! Growing up I called them dunja pronounced dunya, as my mom grew up in Macedonia, so that is what she always calls them…just recently I found out in Albanian they are called ftoi, for the jam I grew up and still call it marmalat which is how it is said in Albanian as well as recel. Quince are delightful smelling fruit that are not edible raw, but they do make tasty jams and fillings for cookies or pies. …
Orange Cranberry Loaf Cake
I wrote this post up a few weeks ago, but I wasn’t happy with the photo’s that I took. I made it a couple times since then, but its been so gloomy outside. It was a sunny day today and I had the ingredients, so I thought I should take advantage of the sun and try to get some good shots! The sun in my kitchen wasn’t so bright this afternoon, but I think they turned out okay. It was much better than the first time, that is for sure!
I am so excited to finally share this with you, it is the best loaf cake I have ever made; it’s just so good. It’s moist and delicious, I hope you try it out for yourself, and please let me know what you think….

Watermelon Fruit Cake
In need of a healthy and refreshing summer dessert? Look no further, here it is…watermelon cake! I have been seeing this watermelon cake being shared on Pinterest for a while now, and thought what a cool idea! My cake isn’t as large as the ones I have seen, I actually didn’t have the intention to make it, it all came about as I am really bad at cutting watermelon in perfect triangles, even my squares never turn out good! It wasn’t such a big watermelon so it was kinda easy to cut into. …
Berry Crepe Cake
Berry Crepe Cake, doesn’t that sound berrylicious? It sure is. Ahh, I haven’t had fresh berries in forever, well not since the summer.
Hubby went shopping in the States and saw these organic strawberries and raspberries so he got me some…so sweet!
I was so excited and couldn’t decide on how to enjoy them. I didn’t want to just eat them, I wanted to make something fabulous! …
Cranberry Orange Smoothie
This turned out great! My son said…’better than I thought it would taste!’ Reason he said that is because after biting into a cranberry he found how tart they are…indeed they are, that is why you need to sweeten it, that is the reason I called it a smoothie and not juice. …
Banana & Blueberry Pie
