CAULIFLOWER Brownies? You must think I'm crazy. And I don't even blame you, haha!

I do have a past of making vegetable sweets that don't taste like veggies - so far I've made Sweet Potato Brownies, Kidney Bean Brownies, and even Avocado Brownies. But I agree that the idea of cauliflower brownies sounds quite daring, even for me.

I can assure you though - these brownies do not taste like cauliflower at all. My mom even said, these are her favourite brownies of all! They are soft, moist, sweet, rich and chocolaty. Oh, and secretly healthy of course.




Hi friends,

welcome to another round of Friday Favorites! I hope you're all enjoying the sun and not spending the entire day inside at your computer, scrolling through inspiring links ;) 

As of yesterday, I'm back home and back on track with the linky party. For this week, I chose a recipe for dairy-free feta cheese because way back in my early blogging days, I made an attempt at vegan feta cheese myself, but this one from Sprinkle of Vanilla Sugar looks even better than my own version, so I have to try it sometime and you should too!

Now, without further ado, let's get on with the linky party!

Quick 3-ingredient ice cream without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: papaya, banana, passion fruit
difficulty level: easy
serves: 2
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, paleo, raw food, low-fat

Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, papaya is best combined with a zesty taste such as lime or passion fruit (similar to watermelon that also tastes best when paired with lime, passion fruit, mint or basil!).

Today, I have made a simple ice cream with ripe papaya. The tartness of passion fruit and lime juice in the ice cream balances the sweetness from the papaya and lends a tropical flavour to the ice cream.

Oatmeal Add Ins

Hello friends,

as I am in Portugal at the moment and the only hotspot in the middle of nowhere is too bad to load any bigger pages, I won't be able to pick a feature for this week's party :( But don't worry, there are loads of inspiring recipes and DIYs below, so make sure to check them out!

By next week's party I will be back home and back on track.

Until then - let's get this party going!

When my former boss asked me to help with their office moving - what they meant was: make muffins as refreshment. So of course I agreed. Any reason to make muffins is a good reason!

And since this was quite short notice, I quickly brainstormed, and the first thing that came to my mind was: Marble Muffins! Which brought back some childhood memories because for some reason marble cakes remind me of the simple joys of childhood... just the basics: flour, sugar, "milk", "eggs", and chocolate. Yum!

These muffins are quick to make and also very quickly devoured :)

Quick 3-ingredient ice cream without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: banana, cantaloupe, lime
difficulty level: easy
serves: 1-2
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, paleo, raw food, low-fat

This Cantaloupe Lime (Cantalime?) Ice Cream is more on the sorbet side of dairy-free ice cream. It's refreshing, cooling, and super summery. 

I've cut a tiny cantaloupe into pieces and froze them overnight. The next day I've added that (around 1 cup) into the blender, added some frozen banana for more creaminess as well as lime for some zest, and blended until a creamy, refreshing, naturally sweet (no additional sweetener needed) ice cream was the result!

Hello everybody and welcome to my very first Friday Favorites linky party with me as a co-hostess!! 

From now on, there will be a link party post every Thursday night on my blog open for link entries, so if you are a blogger wanting to share and promote your own content, please feel free to join this party! This is pretty much wide-open. You can link up a recipe, a craft, travel pictures, a project, a tip, just about anything creative or helpful (family friendly of course). Each week I'll pick one entry from the participants to feature for the week.

So if you'd like to be featured for Friday Favorites, just link your posts up here, OR become a follower, OR be a regular commenter. Or do all three! :)

But before we get on to the party, I want to take a moment to tell you my little "link party story" real quick. It all started out with the Rae Gun Ramblings link parties long before I even started my own blog early 2013, I was simply a reader of all the link contributions. Yep. I was soo inspired scrolling through all the contributions - so this goes to show that even if you don't have a blog yourself, you can still profit from these linky parties :)

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN! I'm thrilled to see what all of you are baking, crafting, creating... (see party rules below)

This was actually only my second attempt at making scones (here's what my first attempt looked like - not too bad, right?), and this time I went full-scale with this slightly more decadent scone variation :)

This is perfect for a relaxed Sunday breakfast on the balcony or in the garden, with a cup of tea or a glass of fresh orange juice. Oh, and it's super easy to prepare. Just a little more than half an hour to make these delicious orange walnut scones!

Quick 3-ingredient sorbet without ice cream maker

Preparation time: 5 mins + 3 hours freezing time
Main ingredients: watermelon, mint
difficulty level: easy
serves: 3
suitable for: vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, paleo, raw food, low-fat

I had no idea there was such a thing as Watermelon Day, but apparently it was last Wednesday, August 3rd, and this recipe happens to be right in time to celebrate the watermelon!

And who doesn't love fresh, juicy watermelon? The sweet flavour that explodes in your mouth with every bite... for me there's nothing that tastes more than summer than watermelon. Except perhaps for watermelon ice cream. Today, I have a super refreshing and cooling watermelon mint sorbet for you! A marriage of the complimenting flavours of sweet watermelon and fresh mint. Enjoy!
