You are probably thinking I’ve gone mad! After all, trifles are supposed to be easy, like something you throw together last minute, usually involving already made ingredients. This is not that kind of trifle. You will have to turn on the stove. You will use several bowls, and tools, and spatulas. You will also have to spend some money, since Ferrero Rocher is a premium ingredient. You might curse me....
It’s obvious that I love cooking (and eating). When I’m not cooking, I’m probably watching a cooking show, talking about food, arguing about food, reading a cookbook or planning my next meal. Taking a wild guess, I think I might be a foodie…☺️ But as food obsessed as I am, even I don’t have the energy or time to spend hours in the kitchen for midweek meals. And while I have a keen interest in cooking, I am actually fundamentally lazy at heart …....
I get really excited when I discover recipes that require just a handful of ingredients. Actually, this entire blog is comprised of recipes with ten ingredients or less, but when I create a recipe that has only three or four ingredients, that’s the best. Even better when it’s a breakfast or brunch recipe, because that is unquestionably the superior meal of the day. And, these flourless low carb waffles are right up there....

And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....
Traditional Greek salad consists of veggies like juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, bell pepper, and red onions tossed in an herby vinaigrette with feta cheese and olives. The pieces are left large and no other ingredients are added; traditional Greek salad does not contain lettuce. Of course, if you’ve ever seen it on a restaurant menu (haven’t we all?), you know there are many types of Greek salads and the definition is subject to interpretation....
Green Bean Salad This is a salad I like to make when I’m planning a large menu ahead because I can prepare most of it in advance then there is very little prep on the day. The beans can be cooked a day or two ahead, the dressing made and onion chopped. Then the only thing that needs to be done on the day is chopping a tomato which is best done fresh (it goes soggy if done ahead)....

Who said a detox smoothie has to taste awful? This delicious version is packed with nutrients and tastes like tropical paradise! Hellooo, 2017! I am so glad 2016 is over. What a crazy awful year! Okay, maybe that’s a little too extreme. 2016 had some good moments, like my trip to Italy and quitting my lousy job to blog full time! But, with my grandfather’s death and a miscarriage, it probably goes into the “one of the worst years of my life” folder....
I know this is a bit last minute, but I just couldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t share this amazing cranberry sauce with you. Homemade cranberry sauce is non-negotiable to me! In fact, I was shocked to read this article from Food & Wine where some chefs said they prefer canned over homemade. Apparently, some people even love the way it looks out of the can, with the imprinted can lines and all!...
Fresh eggs are also better for poaching because they have tighter whites so they poach neatly. But how can you tell how fresh your egg is before you even crack it? Here’s a quick tip: Simply put the egg in a glass of water and watch how it floats: Eggs start to degrade in quality the moment they are laid by chickens. This is because egg shells are porous and over time an egg will absorb air....
