Vegan & Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Making Pumpkin Spice baked goods or beverages reminds me of the US, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Autumn weather in California – not too warm but just cool enough to start wearing a light sweater…. It also reminds me of Starbucks, drinking Frappuccino’s with my best friend then getting our nails done on a shopping day at the mall. There’s just something comforting about those memories that makes me feel warm inside. 🙂

These muffins are Vegan and GF. I’m not Vegan, it’s not about that for me. What interests me in the Vegan way of cooking is the powerful ingredients used as substitutes to certain foods that can be hard to digest. Since I’ve started looking into superfoods and healthier ways of cooking my body is digesting meals better, the bloating has stopped, and I feel better all together. As soon as I make an…

Maca Cacao Hot Chocolate

Who dosen’t need some comfort food once in a while ? Well I know life wouldn’t be as sweet without it 🙂 .
I’ve always been a big fan of hot chocolate as a little girl, and even now I still have a cup of hot cocoa once in a while. Reminds me of snowy winters cuddling up near the fireplace in the countryside while reading a good book or playing board games. It’s also one of my favorite Sunday morning beverages, for brunch or just for lazy sundays binge watching shows on the couch (oh don’t act like you don’t do it too 😉 ).

The thing with hot chocolate is it’s often full of calories, and for those who are lactose intolerant or just try not to drink too much milk for health reasons it’s not very diet-compatible. I guess…

Gluten free and Vegan Vanilla Madeleines

Hey peeps ! I feel like I’ve been away forever. I’m glad to be back. 🙂
This summer sure has been busy and full of travelling, but it was good to get away and spend some time reflecting on my life, future projects and goals. I won’t lie, coming back to Paris was great and depressing at the same time. I missed my appartement a lot, my bed, everyday habits and comfort, but I sometimes don’t miss the hectic Parisian life. Being away for so long makes me realize how much stress and superficiality there is here which makes it hard to live in a healthy and simple way.

As most of my friends & family know now, I have made major changes in my life these past 6 months: I quit my job…

Iced Matcha Latte

This week I’m starting off as healthy as possible. You see, I’m off to London in two days for one of my BFF’s big 3-0 and you can be sure that I will be pigging out and celebrating with a fews drinks throughout the trip 😉 .

Every time I go to London I always have to have Indian food (cliché I know) and some of my favorite donuts that I can’t find in Paris, I’m also really excited to have some gluten free cupcakes from this one shop, and oh yeah tea and scones of course … basically a bunch of things that are not good for my body! 😉 But if you can’t let loose while on vacation what’s the point?! Even if it stresses me out a little bit that I’m going to be bloating and probably will gain some…

Honey-Sweetened Limeade

Well hello again! It sure has been a while, sorry about that ! 🙂 I’ve just been way too busy enjoying this amazing summer we’re having 😉 . The weather has been glorious since May, I’ve been off to weekend getaways here and there, celebrating birthdays and weddings. Life is treating me pretty well I’d say.

Like every year, we are going through our heatwave of the summer. Living in Paris during a heatwave – with no A/C – is pretty much a nightmare. Pools are packed and are no fun, unless you enjoy being glued to a zillion people in a public pool (yeahh no thanks), everyone is fighting for a spot outdoors in restaurants, nobody’s having a full night’s sleep because it’s so hot, and let’s not even talk about public transportation…. But we loveeee it ! It’s just so rare…
