There is a slight hint of chocolate flavours in this one but the recipe doesn’t call for any cacao or carob. Instead it is packed with greatness like baby spinach, turmeric, hemp seeds and more… Will you dare try it?

Maple & Carrot Semolina Cake
Just tasted this beauty I made yesterday.
Usually, it’s not my style to let some freshly baked goods wait on the counter before being honoured by our palates but, by the time it had come to the right temperature, it was getting way too late for me to indulge in such decadence. As a first “fall baking” project, I’m very pleased with the results and I’m sure you’ll be pleased to. The final texture is extremely silky soft and dense, very close to a pound cake but with a nice variation because of the semolina flour.
Cut yourself a slice, toast it the traditional way or put in the oven for a few minutes before devouring it with melted butter or cream cheese spread on top.. It’s worth it.
Bon Appétit!

Happy Beetroot & Green Apple Salad
Did you know beetroots and green apples are a match made in heaven?! Yes it is!
♡｡ﾟ.(*♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡*)ﾟ♡ °・
The tanginess of the Granny Smith’s apples with the sweetness of the beetroots blend PERFECTLY and should definitely be use together more often. Right there, on the top of my head, I’m thinking of a puff pastry with thin sliced of apples, beetroots, green onions, goat cheese and maybe a bit of thyme and spicy oil to make some seriously delicious and gorgeous little tarts. Who knows, this might become a future project…

Marinated Cauliflowers & Tomatoes Appetizers
It’s one of those recipes that will make you look like you actually took time to think about your “concept” when it fact it was the easiest and…let’s say it… laziest recipe ever 😛 lol!
If I may suggest, serve the whole thing right on the baking sheet, for a rustic look, and add some chopped cilantro or basil as a little happy green colour to your presentation.

I love the subtile, yet noticeable taste of the basil leaves in this one…
For who isn’t super fan of the extremely sweet smoothies (like me), this mildly sweet, yet tangy drink might just be what you needed.

Strawberries, Green Apples Quinoa Salad
Green Spinach Pesto
Here’s a fun and “jazzed up” pesto recipe made with fresh baby spinach, hemp seeds, arugula, coriander, Parmesan and more! The first time I made this, it was to go with some homemade raviolis stuffed with light ricotta and feta cheese and ohhhhhh! …I made a lot of happy tummy that night.
To make the pasta sauce, I stretched a few tablespoons of this pesto with coconut milk and a tab more garlic (I’m obsessed with garlic so taste before adding more) and just like that, I had made an flavorful and creamy sauce. Later that week, I used it for grilling some juicy steaks and even made a dip for the meat! Both experiences were very welcomed by everybody who had the chance to taste it and now it’s your turn to try 🙂
Hope you like it!
