Fire up the grill šŸ™Œ

Hey Reader, If you are anything like me, the minute the weather warms up, the grill comes out. This year, we are keeping things still delicious, but on the lighter side (I promise that there will be zero boring bites). šŸ‘‰ The Ultimate Homemade Burger This burger is juicy, bold, smoky, and so satisfying. Not a basic beef patty, but a flavourful burger, with garlic, onion, and my secret spice mix that turns tasteless ground meat into magic. You can now skip the soggy drive-thru burger and make...

herbs

Hey Reader, Have you ever walked past bundles of fresh herbs at the store or at farmers market and thought "How can I use them more?" Yeah... I do the same, every summer. Or maybe you are growing herbs on your own? Maybe just few pots on the window or a whole backyard jungle (I am getting close on that one). Either way, it always starts with good intentions... Until suddenly there is too much rosemary, the dill looks floppy, and you have no clue what to do with that thyme anymore. So, here is...

easy meals

Hey Reader, Can I be honest for a second here? There were many days I can remember when I served up a dinner of boxed mac & cheese… or just scrambled eggs. Yes, too many times to count. Just a simple 5 minutes meal that got the job done. Why? Because I was exhausted! Even boiling pasta felt like a huge mountain to claim. And if you’ve ever stood in front of your fridge after work, thinking ā€œI can't do this tonightā€, then you get it. Cooking every day is not always an easy thing. Add in work,...

Biba with energy booster recipes

Hey Reader, Have you ever had one of those weeks where your energy just disappears like socks in the laundry? Yeah… that is how I felt this week. I don’t know where that low energy came from… but I decided to fight back hard. No more dragging through the day like a sleepy sloth - I went straight to the kitchen for a boost. I introduce you to these two lifesavers - I always get to them when I need that extra boost. Recipes are below if you need a little pick-me-up too. Hope you enjoy making...

granola with yogurt

Hey Reader, Can I tell you a story? It starts with a box of store-bought granola… and ends with the warmest, coziest smell filling my kitchen, and a batch of crunchy homemade granola that’s exactly how I like it. Once upon a time, I was a serious granola buyer. I’d hunt down fancy brands with cool flavours and funky shapes, thinking, this one’s gonna be the winner. Spoiler alert: it never was. Most of the time, I ended up with a shelf full of half-used bags that were just… meh. Too sweet, too...

it's finally spring

Hey Reader, I feel like everything is waking up. The air smells sweeter, colours getting more vibrant, so beautiful... And I’m feeling that familiar itch to grow something... Which brings me to my big excitement: I’m starting my herb garden! Oh finally spring!

easy weeknight meals

Hey Reader, It’s no secret that I love food, and I like cooking. But last-minute dinner decisions, on a random Tuesday, when the kids are yelling, the laundry’s halfway done… and I am just so exhausted? Not exactly my dream cooking scenario. So, I started asking myself - What if dinner could actually feel… easy? Nothing gourmet, or perfect. Just simple, delicious, and absolutely doable. Maybe even fun (on a good day). Turns out - it’s possible! Posts may contain affiliate links, meaning if...

dutch oven

Hey Reader, Ever looked at your Dutch oven after dinner and thought…Well, that’s it. My Dutch oven is a goner… Yup - I’ve been there 😩 I was making a one-pot meal that I totally forgot about on the stove. And when I finally opened the lid... I saw a thick, black layer of burns… I actually held it over the garbage bin for a second thinking, ā€œCan this even be saved?ā€ It could!And I did šŸ™Œ That little moment led me to figure out some super simple ways to clean my Dutch oven without scrubbing like...

recipes

Hey Reader, Ever baked a cake without flour? I have āœ‹ And let me tell you, it was NOT one of those no-bake cakes. It was supposed to be baked. Like, real baked. It was more like: ā€œWhy does my kitchen smell like caramel soup?ā€ Let’s just say... it was neither edible nor cute. The worst part was that I was actually following a recipe, just not ... properly. I didn’t have anything written down. I figured I could wing it. (Spoiler alert: I could not.) No amount of frosting could fix that mess. Oh...
