Apricot Tart

Hello everyone!

 It's pie season again! I have to confess that I have been thinking about pies for a while now. And although this recipe is not exactly a pie (in fact, it's a tart) the directions are fairly similar.

You may think it's a little bit complicated just by the looks of it. It's not. Really, once you have made the pie crust, it's a matter of ten minutes to assemble this beauty.

It's slightly juicy but not messy at all, in fact, as you can see in the photo below, you can slice it very neatly!

Spiced Strawberry Crumble

Hello everyone!

 Today's recipe is part of my "In Season Inspiration" series. For those who do not remember, this comes from a story that I love; a story that takes place in a farmers market and how the tentative steps between a baker and a farmer evolve into a beautiful love story. The first post of the series was devoted to rhubarb and I made a Rhubarb and Cream Cheese Danish. In May, though, it's time for strawberries.

I know, I know. Me doing yet another strawberry recipe is nothing new. But I promise that you will fall in love with how easy and simple this recipe is. 

It's the flavor combination, though, what will convince you that this is a great dessert. You will taste the tartness of the strawberry, which will be immediately contrasted by the sweetness of the crumble. The slight note of ginger in the filling and the aromatic presence of the cinnamon in the topping will give it a spiced taste that, I promise, you will love.

You should wait for it to cool down completely to eat it. Or you can just dive in when it's not hot enough to burn your tongue. Either way, it's a lovely dessert. However, I recommend you to wait. Even better, put it in the fridge for a few hours and eat it completely cold! Now that summer is starting to show its colors here, this refreshing and sweet dessert it's perfect for it!

Chocolate your Milk!

Hello everyone!

 Today's post is very similar to some of the "hot chocolate in a stick" posts that you can easily find on Pinterest. I, however, do not agree with the fact that this is hot chocolate. 
For me, hot chocolate is rich, and so thick that you can stick a spoon in it and it will stand. Hot chocolate is a Christmas morning, when my dad would go out and buy some "churros" for us to have breakfast. So no, this is NOT hot chocolate.


However, it can be a great alternative for a day you are feeling lazy and you want to treat yourself. Maybe it's rainy outside, and you crave something that will warm you up inside and you are not in the mood for tea.


This is it. I have made three different kinds: unsweetened chocolate with salted caramel, milk chocolate with hazelnut and white chocolate with cinnamon. Choose your poison!

Apple and Cinnamon Muffins

Hello everyone!

 Here I come with yet another apple recipe. I know that recently I have been using apples for other recipes like the Apple Crumble or the Caramelized Apple Tartlets. The thing is, all these apples come from my parents orchard and I need to use them before they go bad. And there's a lot of them, believe me.

So I have to come up with new recipes and these Apple and Cinnamon Muffins turned out to be really good. Truth is, you can hardly go wrong by combining these two ingredients. 

These muffins are a great idea for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Plus your home will smell amazing after baking them!
