Not gonna lie, I am very excited.
My best friend and I are leaving for Scotland on Saturday. We’re going to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, seeing one of my favorite bands (again), and we’re generally going to have a blast. That’s the extent of our plans. Continue reading
I love brownies, chocolate chip cookies, basically all kinds of chocolate-related sweets. However, my all time favorite cookie is a simple thumbprint cookie filled with jam. Sometimes I fill it with peanut butter. Or Nutella. But the ones with jam are.. My jam. Continue reading
How is your January going so far? Mine’s been pretty busy. I got a new job (yay!) and I spent the last couple of days taking care of all the formalities before I get to start working. Fortunately I did have time to meet with my friends a couple of times. I made these cookies for one of such occasions, when I promised a friend I would bake him something. Continue reading
Is it freezing over there, too? I’m in a full on tea-and-blanket mode. Obviously what fits to that picture is a plate of cookies. This time I went with a slightly modified classic. These gingersnaps are full of flavor, which is further enhanced by browned butter. I also added more spices than the original recipe called for, and I reduced the amount of sugar, because of course I did. Continue reading
You may have noticed that I love to come up with recipes where you don’t need a lot of ingredients. It seems like if you can throw a recipe together from whatever you have laying around in your pantry, that’s the one I would go for.
Except that doesn’t always work for everybody. Yeah, put that mayo away. Relax. Maybe follow a recipe for a change. Continue reading
I remember that I came up with this recipe the day before I left Poland to go to Vietnam. I wanted to bake something in the evening, but we also didn’t feel like leaving the house to buy any products, so I had to work with whatever we had already. I think the result was pretty good. Continue reading
It’s late, most of the shops are closed, but you need a cookie. Just one would be enough, as long as it’s really good. I’m sure you’re familiar with that feeling, right? This recipe was created for exactly this kind of evening. Continue reading
Hanoi is crazy. It’s been 10 days since I moved, so I’m still very new and I guess it’s normal I feel this way, but seriously. Crazy. I rented out a motorbike 2 days ago, so I can finally ride around by myself, although I’m a bit afraid of doing so. Nobody out on the road here seems to care about any laws, which makes learning how to belong in the traffic even harder. But I taught a few more classes, and I went to another party yesterday. I guess I’m starting to belong. One of my biggest concerns is the lack of the oven of course (that party I went to yesterday? My friends have an amazing one, so I spent a better part of an hour falling in love with their oven). I still have some saved recipes though, so today I’d like to share a recipe for THE BEST chocolate-honey cookies to ever exist.
I came up with this recipe when I was left with half a can of condensed milk and no idea what to do with it. I also had some blueberries and chocolate, so I thought hell, let’s bake some cookies. Continue reading
Anyone else can’t wait till August? It seems like all the fun stuff planned for this summer will be happening then. My brothers wedding, a couple of parties, a visit from my best friend, my move to Vietnam.. Everything will happen very quickly. But for now, I’m just sitting at home, going through my favorite recipes, trying to decide what to bake next. Continue reading
