Have I got the recipe for you… These oozing blueberry cinnamon buns are moist and gooey, perfect for a little sweet treat during the holidays. I wanted to make buns stacked in an oven dish and not too many of them, so I think this recipe calls for the perfect amount. I basically used a normal cinnamon bun recipe but added a little extra by filling it with a berry glaze alongside the cinnamon sugar mixture.

It is officially the first of March, which means that the snow should slowly start melting allowing space for little buds to push through the surface of the ground. This was the first weekend the temperatures got a little warmer and we were able to enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony in the wonderful warmth of the sunlight. I also scrapped the balcony floor and cleaned all the dirt that piles up over winter time.

Apple Blossom Season is here to bring us joy from its speckles of white delicate flowers that light up the path of May. We took an evening route to our favorite apple orchard that are just bursting into bloom to capture a few memories as we do every year. Last year I was still able to lift Siena in my lap for some pictures but not anymore, she was outgrown in size for that already. Back home for the sake of the weekend, I decided to make a citrus pavlova for dessert. In this tiny elegant dessert, a crisp white meringue layer is filled with lemon infused whipped cream and decorated with little flowers.

Embarking on a festive escapade, we braved the winter chill to explore the Christmas market, where the air was filled with the irresistible scent of roasted chestnuts. Energized by the festive spirit, we returned home, little Lucas in tow, to embark on our cozy holiday tradition—baking gingerbread cookies. As the kitchen filled with the warm aroma of ginger and a touch of lemon zest, we eagerly dove into the sweet, joyous process of creating delicious memories together. Our little culinary adventure promises to sprinkle our home with the magic of the season, one gingerbread cookie at a time.

Dates are the perfect sweet ingredient for a winter kitchen. The natural sweetener makes a great base for cakes, salads, jams, smoothies, sauces, breads and gives that lovely rich intensive caramel taste. I’ve done date coffee-style cakes every winter and since it is only three nights until Christmas, it was about time to make one. The sticky juicy cake was topped with a cream cheese icing and some macarons but the cake is great just on its own. I love to have it with a cup of tea or an espresso as a little pick me during the day. I enjoyed some while wrapping the last of the gifts and organising some last things that we have to do before winding down for the big day.

‘Tiny cinnamon cakes perfect for a tea time over snowy days’- Nobody in our household has a crazy sweet tooth but Christmas brings out the cosiest time to bake. If it is not for you, let it be for those unexpected guests or friends coming over for drinks or coffee. I love making small sized cakes, so none of it ends up in waste as my hubby and I don’t really eat that much sugar. I also have a mild obsession with old-fashioned cake tins, particular French ones that I have “accidently” collected over the years. Gladly all of them are put to good use, especially over chilly dark winter days. I wanted to share this classic cinnamon coffee cake recipe, as cinnamon and Christmas go hand in hand.

This cinnamon cake is really simple and delicious, very similar to a layer cake and bullet proof easy even if you are not good at baking. I added a little icing on top, as a little sugar drizzle never hurt anyone, but that is totally up to you.

Lavender, with its exquisite and elegant aroma, stands as a timeless favorite among flowers. Its fragrance, a cherished reminder of warm days spent in the idyllic landscapes of Italy or France, has the power to transport us to those cherished moments. In my quest for this enchanting scent, I stumbled upon dried lavender at a spice market in Dubai. Fueled by the spirit of post-Valentine's Day and the approaching weekend, I was inspired to craft a culinary masterpiece—a Lemon Pound Cake infused with the delicate essence of lavender.
