Roasted Pumpkin & Apple Smoothie

November 15, 2014 by Cris 6 Comments

Simply put, a pumpkin & apple pie smoothie made from scratch that will exceed your expectations. Oh yeah – sweet, refreshing and nourishing! If this 100% homemade smoothie doesn’t knock your socks off, I don’t know what will.

Roasted Pumpkin Apple Smoothie
I know that these days everybody has a pumpkin pie smoothie recipe in their repertoire, but this one is a bit different. It’s a common practice to buy the pumpkin puree form the supermarket and to sweeten it by adding sugar or syrup. However, that’s not my way.

Sugar-free Pumpkin, Coconut and Chocolate Bars

September 23, 2014 by Cris 2 Comments

Fluffy and moist homemade sugar free pumpkin hazelnut bars topped with creamy dark chocolate and almonds flakes – like my best friend would also say to you “the kind of dessert too fit for me!” 🙂

Sugar-free Pumpkin, Coconut and Chocolate Bars I have many good friends back home but Lucia, my oldest best friend (we know each other since we were 5 years old) is the one who gets the first pictures of my “creations”. And I send them to her because I appreciate very much her sincerity and the funny comments I get to hear every single time.

For instance, yesterday evening after I baked my first pumpkin bars ever (a big event in my life, right?! ), I quickly sent her a picture of it, so eager to find out what does she think about the ingredients, how does it look, should I post it or not – the normal kinds of questions….

Crunchy Pumpkin-Apple Crumble

September 12, 2014 by Cris 6 Comments

Let’s all indulge a little with a different kind of treat – Crunchy Pumpkin and Apple Crumble – such a perfect balance: sweetness from apple and maple, butteriness from pumpkin, tang from lemon and crunchiness from the quinoa and roasted walnuts.

Crunchy Pumpkin-Apple Crumble
Fall is already knocking on our doors and, for the first time in my 34 years, I am so looking forward to it. The weather turned out to be quite mild and sunny in Düsseldorf so far, the local farmer’s markets are bursting with colorful fruits and vegetables and people seem to be friendlier than ever. And I am grateful to be in such an abundant place….
