Pancakes with almond milk and apricot jam

Pancakes are every family favorite! In our house we tried so many varieties I can hardly remember. I think you can actually make pancakes with almost everything. I tried recipes with milk, water, pop and now with almond milk. This is currently my favorite! It`s great texture and mild almond flavor. What more do you…

Blueberry hot cross buns

I hope you all had an amazing Easter with your families and loved ones. To me Easter is like small Christmas and I love everything traditional on this day. This year I tried for the first time to make Hot cross buns, and I was very happy with the result, so was my daughter 🙂…

Quiche with Emmental and fresh zaatar

Zaatar is well known Arabic herb. It is sort of thyme, very fragrant and versatile. It is widely used in Bulgaria as well, there it is called “chubrica” and we use it dried as a condiment to almost everything we cook. I saw this recipe from my Instagram friend Petites Choses . I have to tell…

Easy peasy mince pies

Did you decorate your Christmas tree already? December is by far the most festive month of all. And for food bloggers this means a lot of hearty, traditional recipes. I will be honest and admit that I have never heard of mince pies before I moved to Dubai. There is no such thing in Bulgaria….

Homemade pumpkin latte

Preparing this festive drink takes less time than you think. It is way more flavorful from the the one in Starbucks and of course will save you loads of $$$. In my recipe I used pumpkin pure from the leftovers of one pie, but you can easily substitute it with canned pumpkin.  Try it today and…
