Banana Bread

Banana-Bread-2-07Lately looks like the bananas at home are getting very fast ripe, of course then I have to start experimenting and see other possibilities to use them in different kind of cakes, breads, muffins, … In this case I made one without chocolate, changing the kind of sugar and using yoghurt. The result was a fantastic bread, that didn’t last very long and a week after I had to make again ๐Ÿ˜‰ย  (more…)

Blondies

Blondies-11Who doesn’t like chocolate? Actually I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like. One of my favorite cakes is Brownies, but sometimes I like to try other options, like this cake, I call blondies because 2 of the basic ingredients are replaced, I use white chocolate and almonds, a delicious combination, perfect for a school treat or just to treat yourself with something very sweet.ย  (more…)

Strawberry Jam

Jam-6The summer or the end of the summer is ideal to make your own jam, there is a lot choice from plums, to strawberries, cherries, blackberries, even peach. Because they are in season they are cheap and of course they taste very sweet. Well you know just get some big quantities and start making your own jam for the coming months. I made a less sweet one, more fruit less sugar, so let’s say not so unhealthy ๐Ÿ˜‰ย  (more…)

Chili con Carne

Chilli-con-Carne-7Chili con carne is one of those meals that you can make with endless combinations, as long the basics (beans, spices and meat) are there and from good quality, you can always add other vegetables, serve with rice or not, with creme fraiche or yogurt, even with couscous. Well this is my version of this healthy international meal, less meat and more beans, not vegetarian of course, otherwise will not be “con carne”, but still delicious and easy to make. (more…)
