Toasted Hazelnuts & Dark Chocolate Granola

Sweet and nutty toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate granola: Breakfast? Dessert? Delicious Snack? Say Goodbye bags of overpriced, overly sweet, store-bought granola, too.

Hey friends! This hazelnut, dark chocolate granola came to life through my never-ending granola experiment. I love homemade granola because is one of the simplest, tastiest – not to mention HEALTHY too – things that can come out of your kitchen in half an hour or less. And all it takes is a handful of ingredients dumped in a bowl, spread on a baking sheet, then thrown in the oven for a few minutes, and Voilà.

The combination of dark chocolate and toasted hazelnuts in this granola is (Really!) what steals the show. It tastes rich and even a bit naughty – basically, you can have dessert for breakfast, so don’t feel bad about it….

Avocado Egg Sandwich with Smoked Salmon

This avocado egg sandwich with smoked salmon and cottage cheese is one to die for. Metaphorically speaking! :)

Now, most of the recipes for Cook it fit get made at least ten times: nine times for real ‘life breakfast/lunch/dinner’, times in which I try to perfect them and only once for the blog when I obviously get my head around to shoot the photography for the post. Don’t get me wrong, I’m NO photographer expert, but before I shoot I like to plan ahead the scenery and that usually takes time.

But every once in a while I get a big crush on a recipe that sticks around for quite some time – months in this case. Well, because 1) this avocado egg sandwich with smoked salmon is seriously a life-changing that it must be made again and AGAIN … and 2) it keeps me going until lunch time. Not to mention, it takes 10 minutes or less to have it done. …

Crispy Almond Crumble with Blueberry

This quick and easy breakfast, snack or dessert is just a brilliantly purple crisp with a rolled oats, cooked quinoa and almond topping – all you need to improve your morning routine. Yum!

I LOVE crumble with almost any topping, but when paired with fresh blueberries and served with vanilla ice-cream, I am forgetting (for a day, maybe two, hahaha) about my work-in-progress-perfect-ABS. Let’s get serious now – that good! :)) …

Acai Granola Bowl

This acai homemade granola is really, really addictive. I dare to say satisfying in all the ways that matter.

First things first, I’d like to apologize. I know I haven’t been posting that often these past few weeks, but life is not ALWAYS as planned. So the job process is still on and, unfortunately, those interviews really took all my positive vibe and energy.

But let’s not get into boring details, like I even had to explain myself for the blogging activity (not that many companies seem to ‘appreciate’ your hobby, especially if you’re so passionate about it), but rather stick to this acai granola recipe, send you some LOVE and happy vibe….
