If you’re looking for a quick, easy and filling weeknight dinner, I have something for you. It’s no secret that we’re big fans of carbs arounds here. Don’t come at me with your “carbs are bad for you”-lecture, because I don’t subscribe to it. Carbs are life and I will...

Someone I follow on Instagram had been posting these mouthwatering pictures of the frittatas she’s been making for her family as an easy breakfast option. I am not much of a meal-prepper but I’d been meaning to make a frittata for dinner (with leftovers). I finally got around to making...

A couple of weeks ago, I made these zucchini-cheddar-scones with leftover zucchini that needed to be used up. A few people have asked for the recipe when I posted the picture on Instagram and I am happy to share. Scones are really quick to make and are an easy weekend...
