Well, it’s official, Spring is here and with it the feeling that I probably enjoyed food too much this winter. It’s hard, isn’t it? to keep a balanced diet in the winter time that is. I mean, who really wants to have salads and fresh veggies when it’s cold, rainy and snowy outside? All you […]
I’m not always patient. In fact, most of the time I just want things to be ready in like 5 minutes, but we all know that’s not always possible (except when you make an omelet). So the other day I craved for something sweet with my tea, I figured that by now I should sort […]
I am pretty selective when it comes to bread. It needs to be dense but soft, have a nicely browned crust, it needs to have that fresh flavor without the after taste of yeast, yeah, I know I’m picky. I was browsing online, trying to figure out how to make dinner rolls, and I’m not […]

It’s May. It’s spring. And for the past few days it’s been gorgeous! I must admit that there are days when I’m sitting in my office at work, looking out the window and wondering if we’re not missing out on too much in life. Not that trip overseas, not that final sale at the mall […]
Yesterday night I had this weirdest craving. I really wanted a cinnamon bun. I looked for a good recipe but of course the only ones I could find are the good old fashioned yeast cinnamon buns. I adore yeast pastries. They are my favorite, but in this instance I just had to have my cinnamon […]
