  • Here the Strawberry and Ricotta Cake recipe I tested yesterday 😉 Moist, fruity and not too sweet! The sunny weather is giving us lovely days so we started enjoying hikes and play dates at the park. That’s when a bite of homemade cake comes handy 😉 I cut the cake in cubes and packed it for the park, ready to be easily enjoyed. Ingredients: 250gr. Whole wheat flour 250gr. Ricotta cheese 100gr. Cane sugar 300gr. Fresh strawberries Zest 1 tangerine 2 medium eggs 80ml coconut oil 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Procedure In a large bowl wish the eggs with the sugar for 1 min to get a yellow pale color. Add the ricotta and coconut oil. Mix. Add the baking powder/soda and salt to the flour, mix and than combine slowly the dry ingredients with the wet ones. Add the strawberries cut in small cubes, save 4 strawberries for the decoration on top. Transfer the batter into a cake pan. Decorate with the remaining strawberries sliced on top. Bake in preheated oven to 400F for 40/45min. #strawberrycake #ricottacake #kidsfood #kidsrecipe #toddlerfood #toddlerrecipe #familyfood #afterschoolsnack #healthysnack #breakfast
  • Easy and quick treat for your family Sunday 😋
  • Sunday Morning Sun coming out 😎 Fennel anyone? 😉 #farmersmarket #localproduce #organicfood
  • The Sunday Farmer's Market is a weekly appointment for me and the kids. We love our local vendors, I've been knowing them for years and they know us. Going to the market is like visiting friends now. The family friendly vibe is one of the reason why we go there all together with the willing to buy seasonal local produce, organic whenever possible. Choosing quality ingredients is at the base of my cooking. You can have a great recipe but if you use mediocre ingredients you will simply taste it. At the same time it's not always easy to balance high quality ingredients with the family budget :-) That's one of the topic it was important for me to discuss in The Fuss-Free Toddler Cookbook. Reality is that "organic" food is on average 20/30% more expensive than the not organic version. It's also true that "certified organic" is sometimes the only insurance you have that they didn't use chemicals/pesticides/hormones/antibiotics in the food you will be feeding your family with. After reading many researches and articles on the "organic" topic I decided to trust my farmer's market for organic produce in the "dirty dozen" list. The Environment Working Group publishes it every year all together with very interesting new studies on the topic. Meat, dairy and poultry are also in my "organic only" list. For anything else my thumb of rule is to check the ingredients list. In the perfect world we should not even discuss about organic or not, but reality is that we need to be cautious of what's inside the food we buy. What's at the top of your "organic only" list? Strawberries are my #1! If you are interested in my new book, you can find it on Amazon https://amzn.to/36POVZk (link is in my profile too). #farmersmarket #organicfood #localproduce #organicproduce #realfood #momslife

  • Orange Blueberry Cake. Oh my, this cake is decadent and addictive. Moist and fruity. Perfect for breakfast or just to indulge yourself. Lovely after school snack for the kids. I prepared it using the food processor and nothing else. Yep, food processor :-) The batter is ready in 15min total (including the time to wash the food processor). INGREDIENTS:\ 1 medium orange (they are in season, choose a sweet variety like Valencia) 300gr. whole wheat flour 150gr. cane sugar 120ml coconut oil 50ml water 3 medium eggs, room temperature 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 Tbsp vanilla 1 bag frozen blueberries, 350gr. PROCEDURE: In a food processor add the orange in quarts, peel included, and blend for 30 sec to obtain a puree. In a bowl beat the eggs to make them fluffy and airy. Add the eggs in the food processor all together with sugar, flour, coconut oil, water, baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla. Blend to obtain a smooth batter. Transfer the batter in a cake pan and fill for half. Add the frozen blueberries and cover them with the remaining batter. Bake in preheated oven to 400F for 45/50min. Use the toothpick rule to check if the cake is ready: inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake, it should come out dry, without any batter attached. Enjoy!!! #blueberryorangecake #bakingforkids #kidsfood #toddlerfood #familyfood #breakfast #baking #baking #blueberrycake #orangecake
