Peanut Butter Granola

I know, I know. My first recipe of 2015 is a healthy one. Stay with me though.

Nutella Condensed Milk Cookie Bars

 

It’s been a couple of days since I posted, and quite a lot has happened in my life. I successfully moved to Vietnam and I scored my first job as a teacher of English. I’ve been trying to stay on top of everything that is going on online, but it has been a challenge. In the last 4 days I came to Hanoi, moved to a different apartment, went to a couple of job interviews, partied with people I just met and gave my first lesson just today. Hopefully now my life will get more stable and I will be able to post more often. I don’t have an oven yet though, which might get in the way. Fortunately I have some recipes all ready to share with you, starting with this one.

Carmelitas

In a little over a month I’ll move to Vietnam for a year, to teach English. It seemed like a long time from now, but today I started to get my things together for the trip, and it suddenly has gotten way closer. I can’t wait, but I’m also pretty anxious.. Which is why I needed caramel and chocolate.

Brown Butter Caramel Bars

This week I celebrated my graduation with caramel. I’ve found a great recipe for caramel a couple of days ago and I’ve been putting it in everything since then.

White Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Cookies

Today I’m celebrating.

Technically I still have my B.A. exam on Tuesday, and I really should be studying.. But I just got the review of my B.A. paper and it’s looking good. So I took a short break to share this great recipe with you all 🙂

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies

There are some days when nothing is going right. It’s cold, your fridge is empty, you have a lot of things to do, but you can’t seem to force yourself to actually do any of them. It’s been one of these days for me. Thankfully, the evening is going to be significantly better, as I’m going to spend it with a huge mug of coffee, watching the Baftas on BBC and hoping for Broadchurch to win everything it possibly can.

I may (okay, I most definitely do) still have a bit of a thing for David Tennant.

Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

Sometimes I get one of these crazy ideas of eating healthy and I say goodbye to chocolate (and everything else that is good in this world). Fortunately that never lasts good and I’m back to baking chocolately, caramelly, brown buttery treats within a week.

That being said, I do enjoy something slightly healthier from time to time. There are oats in these cookies, so they have to be healthier, right? Please, tell me I’m right.
