COFFEE NUT BROWNIES

I need to admit something. Yesterday, I ate vanilla & chocolate cheesecake. By the way, I prefer vanilla one. I did not feel well after eating it so that was my first and the last time when I ate something sweet not made by me or made from ingredients which I do not tolerate anymore.

That situation made me very motivated to think again what I am putting into my body.

I made something I am flabbergasted about! I think you should be too!

LEMON & COCONUT LOAF with BERRIES

I have not had any cake in a while so I decided to make a very nice one. Last time I made simple lemon loaf like in the original recipe. It was a little too sweet and sour for me. And this time I did not make lemon glaze, I used less lemon juice and I added some berries which nicely balanced the sour taste.
