SIMPLE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE PUDDING

August 5, 2022 No Comments

Hey there,

Another day, another fabulous recipe for you. This time I am calling out all the chocolate lovers out there who just need a chocolatey treat without lots of fuss and takes care of the craving real quick. It’s my simple homemade chocolate pudding recipe, what’s not to love, perfect on its own, topped up with some cream and more chocolate shavings or just add in more flavours if you like but for me, simple is better. There was a debate around my house when it came to the crust forming and no crust and who preferred what, personally I love both and don’t mind at all but if you get a tad bit squeamish then no crust for you then.

This is also a very nice and convenient dessert if you’re entertaining since you can make them ahead and let them refrigerate for a while before serving. Also depending on what type of chocolate you prefer, you can choose to go for a fancy chocolate bar or normal milk chocolate will do too. For this homemade chocolate pudding, you will require;

January 24, 2022 No Comments

If you missed my previous post, then this is a follow up on what you could make to eat with ajvar. How to make Croatian cevapi/ cevapcici is what I have for you today. Grilled flavoured minced meats that pair well with the ajvar recipe I gave you earlier and is just glorious to have any time. As much as I would like to eat cevapi the authentic way with all the dips and bread, I tend to also make them and eat them on their own because they are that good and just makes you want more. Before I continue, let me just explain a bit more what cevapi/ cevapcici are.

So, what exactly is cevapi?

Plainly put, cevapi is a grilled dish of minced meat found traditionally in Serbia and Croatia. Hand-mixed and formed into kebab shaped meat from two to three types of minced meat. For my recipe, I used two and preferably prepped a day before to let it marinate. For this recipe you will need;

THE ESSENCE VAULT FRAGRANCES: You Wouldn’t Tell The Difference

January 3, 2022 No Comments

I am sure you have already seen all the ads around, be it on Facebook, Instagram you name it. What I’m I talking about? The essence vault fragrances, if you like smelling good or just want to have a great scent overall and think you need to have the original designer perfume, then I’m here to tell you that it’s time to save up your coin. I know that buying expensive designer perfume sounds good and all but what if you could have the same fragrance at a fraction of the price and not be able to tell the difference? Then if this sounds interesting to you, I am urging you to check out the essence vault fragrances.

I first saw the ad on Instagram and clicked on it accidentally while scrolling, I wanted to get a present for my husband’s birthday and decided to try different stores and products out there. So I decided to bite the bullet and get him some to test out if they were worth the hype. Well, I ended up buying three bottles which will probably last him forever and the best part is a little goes a long way and lasts all day too. After seeing how great they were, I got myself some too and l am definitely happy with my purchase.

There is just something about warm, comforting soups that does it for me, especially in the chilly evenings.

Unlike my butternut squash soup, this one tends to be a lot simpler but very delicious at the same time. Lightly spiced, and all you need is your oven and an immersion blender to do all the work for you. For this recipe, you will need;
