Ok… i don’t know if I’m the only one guilty of being stuck at these tasty videos on Facebook, where everything they make look delicious (it’s seldom healthy, and seldom holds nutritional value, but still). Last week I didn’t only look, but I actually MADE two of the recipes that I had seen, and the first one was these delicious 3 ingredient chocolate truffles. I wouldn’t call them truffle truffles, but they were really delicious. In the original video they used chocolate sprinkles, which I exchanged for coconut! Try it out!

I love carrot cake! Always have and, probably, always will. Although, I always get stuck while making it just because the normal recipe requires a lot of canola oil, which I never seem to have at home. Therefore, this version is a little easier, and made out of a normal sponge cake. I even used the classic mold with the hole in the middle and just filled it with a sunflower for the pretty look of it! Nonetheless, this cake won’t disappoint any of you carrot-cake-lovers. It’s just as delicious.

Long time no see! Starting off the new year with this easy one tray Chicken! This recipe is not hard to make at all, and to be honest, you could put anything you like on it and then bake it in the oven! It’s a perfect January meal, since you can use the cheaper parts of the chicken (the parts with the bone still in them), these parts will make it even more juicy than the parts without the bone. Adding chorizo and prosciutto makes it so moist and flavorful as well. No side needed! You just add arugula (or spinach or something else) at the end, and it’s ready to serve! What’s even nicer is that when everything is cut up, you have time to set the table and clear the kitchen while it’s baking, leaving no mess and a delicious meal!

Yeeees! I don’t know if any of you remember, but (almost 2 years…) a while ago I posted a recipe of mashed peas. I know it seems strange but it is so absolutely delicious! This recipe I found in a magazine, and tweaked it to my favor. It looks so pretty and it is seriously addicting. You could eat it with just crackers or something similar, or have it as a dip for chicken or fish. The only thing that is important is that you try it!

This semifreddo is one of the easiest desserts to make! The base only calls for three ingredients. Into this batter I mixed in 4 bananans and a half dark chocolate bar, and made a chocolate crust. Topped with raspberries and strawberries the result was delicious! If you’re not too fond of banana, you can really mix anything you like into the batter – whatever you like will work!

Last but not least on my cookie baking day I made these super tiny (and super cute) Nutella thumbprint cookies. These are super easy to make, and changes the game of thumbprint cookies that are usually filled with jam, and not chocolate. But, nonetheless to say, these are equally (if not more) delicious than normal thumbprint cookies. If you don’t have the patience to make mini one’s, you can just do normal sized one’s! No reason not to try them out!
