🌸 Carrot cake with cream cheese and vanilla bean frosting for @gab.y.p's birthday 🌸
Can't begin to wrap by head around the fact that Gaby turned 16 years old yesterday. How did time fly by so fast?
All I know is that I want to be by her side for life, watching her grow, supporting her every step of the way. Gaby's one of the kindest people I know. She's true to herself, she likes to help others, she's thoughtful, smart and resilient.
She is, and forever will be, my baby.

✨Cinnamon Waffles with berries and maple whipped cream✨
The Sunday Waffles tradition started when Gaby was about 1 year old. It followed us while we lived in other countries, while the girls kept growing, it's what I look forward the most on Sunday mornings. And today, while it's hard to tell what day of the week it is anymore, these waffles remind me that while my family is healthy, together, and pouring maple syrup on waffles, then things are good. That there are reasons to be grateful under any circumstances.

✨PIZZA MARGHERITA ✨⁣
Made pizza for dinner last night and thinking of having another pizza night this weekend. The recipe comes via @robertaspizza for @nytcooking and it's without a doubt my favorite pizza dough. ⁣
⁣
The trick when baking homemade pizza is to pre-heat your oven to its highest temperature (I had mine in convection mode at 550 F)The pizza stone ( I prefer steel) has to be in it and placed on the lower rack. 4 minutes was all the time it took to bake them👌🏽⁣
⁣
⁣
I'll try to have this recipe on the blog by the weekend so that you can make it at home and also, I'm sending you a big virtual hug. Let's take a big breath and do the things that feel right to us during this time. Xo⁣

I've also been trying to keep a routine. Working out at home, reading, making recipes from other food blogs, and creating simple meals to share with my family and with you. Like this lemony Israeli salad and Labneh on toast.⁣ And even though I love to lounge around wearing comfy leggings and a sweatshirt, lately I've been dressing up just to be at home. It has helped me with my mood, and at this point we have to do anything that cheers us up right?

✨OVERNIGHT OATS WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS, BERRIES AND A HONEY TUMERIC MAPLE DRIZZLE.✨⁣
⁣
A few weeks ago, I was part of a breakfast challenge with @danone.canada .We were divided in groups of three and had to create our own recipe using the contents of a Mistery bo (Cue Master Chef music ☺️)⁣ @ushappyfour @thedelilahblog and I, came up with a hearty bowl overnight oats, topped with caramelized bananas, berries and a honey tumeric maple drizzle. The recipe was simple, but then again, simple is my motto. In life and in the kitchen!⁣
⁣
What made the overnight oats stand out, was that we used Danone 100% Natural yogurt instead of only milk, and it made the oats extra creamy. The yogurt also has such a delicious flavour and my favorite part, no sugar added 🙌🏽⁣
⁣
At the event, I also learned that Danone is B- Corporation certified. Meaning that they help our community by partnering with The Breakfast Club of Canada to provide a healthy breakfast to children in need.⁣
⁣
Our recipe, ended up winning the challenge and I am sharing it with you below!⁣
⁣
Ingredients⁣
⁣
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp large flake oats⁣
1 cup Danone 100% Natural Yogurt (natural or vanilla)⁣
4 tbsp milk⁣
1tbsp maple syrup + 1 tsp⁣
1 cup mixed berries (I've used blueberries and strawberries)⁣
1/2 tbsp butter⁣
1/2 banana⁣
⁣
In a medium bowl, mix the oats, yogurt, milk and maple syrup. Let stand for s few hours or overnight.⁣
In a cast iron pan, melt the butter at medium heat. Add the bananas, and cook for about 30 seconds. Flip the bananas to cook the other side, and add the maple syrup.⁣
⁣
Just before serving, top the oats with berries, caramelized bananas and a bit it the honey turmeric maple drizzle 🍯⁣
⁣
For the drizzle: we used an already made honey with turmeric, but at home, you can mix 1 tbsp manuka honey+ with 1 tsp turmeric powder and 1tbsp maple syrup. Mix well until smooth and drizzle on top of the oats just before serving.⁣
