Couscous Pudding with Candied Oranges

COUSCOUS PUDDING WITH CANDIED ORANGES

Couscous is a favourite at our home.  Also my little ones love it, so I make it often.  And I often have leftovers… actually, I confess… I make more on purpose to have leftovers.  I love making all kinds of salads with it (see my Couscous and Herb Salad and Couscous, Olive and Orange Salad) and…

Mini Carrot Cupcakes

MINI CARROT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

I always make cupcakes for my kids birthday parties as I love how festive they look and kids always devour them!  As my youngest daughter’s birthday party was all about Miffy (and bunnies), I thought of making carrot cupcakes in the hope of keeping things on the “healthy side” (well… at least they did have…

Miffy Chocolate Cookies

MIFFY CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Miffy Marshmallow Pops

MIFFY MARSHMALLOW POPS

I love making marshmallow pops for my girls’ birthday parties.  They are very fast to make, fun and versatile: you can make almost anything out of marshmallows (check out my Sea Marshmallow Pops and my Pixie Dust Marshmallow Pops).  What I like the most though, is the fact that they are easy and quick to make…

Chai

CHAI

Today is the time to share the recipe for one of the most comforting beverages ever: Indian chai.  I see all kinds of chai drinks around and it’s become quite a fashionable drink… so much so that it’s often not the original Indian chai any more and it can get quite confusing.  So, what is…

CHAI MASALA

You probably don’t know this, but my family has been hit by a brutal bout of flu… the kind that gives you 104F fever.  It is so irritating as it is summer here and it’s really not the time you would want to catch the flu (if ever there is a time!).  Also, both my…

Banana Basil Jam

BANANA BASIL JAM

Left over bananas.  Why is it that I ALWAYS have left over bananas in my kitchen?  Ah, yes… wait.  It must be because my kids always beg me to buy them when they see them at the grocery store… they promise they will eat them and then, they don’t.  I am not a huge fan…
