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;

CROATIAN AJVAR RECIPE

January 7, 2022 4 Comments

Hello everyone,

If you’ve been reading me for a while now and stopped by my random facts about me post, then you already know that I lived in Croatia for four years and during my stay there, I was able to try out different authentic recipes which I loved. One of the recipes that stood out to me and I had to replicate was the Croatian ajvar recipe. A perfect accompaniment to cevapi/cevapcici ( grilled minced meat similar to kebabs), onions and lepinje (similar to pita bread). When I moved, I tried finding it everywhere but just couldn’t find one that tasted the same, so I decided to figure out how to make my own and one that I like the taste of.

What is Ajvar?

Simply put, ajvar is a condiment/dip from red peppers, eggplant and oil. My homemade version had roasted peppers and just tastes amazing. Another condiment widely used when having cevapi is kajmak, which is a white cream dip that complements everything well. Now that you know what it is, let’s get on with the 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.

Hi once again,

Happy new month everyone. I hope you’re all doing great. I needed something to have for dessert this week and I decided on some brownies.

Today I have a delicious chewy brownie recipe for you and I must say, chewy is an understatement because these turn out so good and makes you not stop at one. So if you know you might stop your diet, then I suggest you don’t make them at all. I wouldn’t want to be the one “sabotaging” your diet but honestly, I want to and insist that you try them first. For this delectable brownie recipe, you will need very simple ingredients and they are as follows.
