Banana crumble

I was watching “Law & Order” the other day and felt like eating something sweet (like that’s something unusual). :) But the episode was really interesting – no Linus, which is bad, but Benjamin, which is good – and I wanted something fast to get back to the couch as soon as possible. The result was this crumble, ridiculously simple and oh, so delicious – and that smells and tastes like banana

Back to school raspberry granola bars and my (many) obsessions

I’m someone who obsesses with certain things from time to time – directors, actors, music, you name it. And food, of course. I obsessed with Ralph Fiennes so badly after “Schindler’s List” that I had to watch each and every film with him – and that led me to Kathryn Bigelow’s “Strange Days” (which is far better than “The Hurt Locker”, imho).

Apple and passion fruit crumble

Are you tired of my apple recipes yet? :)I know I’ve been using apples like crazy lately, and must confess that I still intend to make a couple of recipes with them before the end of their season.

Blueberry and pistachio toasted muesli

This muesli is delicious and easy to make – even if you and your oven are not very close friends. :)
