Food | Berry Crumble Pie

A week ago my mom and I were craving something sweet and with berries.

We went on the hunt for the berries and the rest of the ingredients to bake something along the lines of a pie and a crumble.

Very Berries

I have been on a healthier note lately.

One of my obsessions?

Strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries!

Mixed Berries

They are a really good source of antioxidants and vitamins. They give you a boost of energy and are really rich in flavor.

I love combining them with a little yogurt and some granola, which is amazing for breakfast or as a little mid-afternoon snack.

There is also a huge variety of desserts that can be made from the berries of your choice. For example, yesterday I found a great recipe from Martha Stewat's site of Blueberry cupcakes, which looks delicious. I really have to try it out and when I do, I will certainly do a review of it.

If you wnat to try it, here is the link to it and below you can see how amazingly delicious they look!

Have a great day! 

Sweet cravings. Cravings in general

I am in a no-sugar, no fat, no carb diet for a couple weeks and I was just craving a little sweet something when this image:

crossed my path this morning. 

I really really really want one, but will just conform with watching them and staring at them and their pretty-ness. 

A good cup of coffee woud be great to accompany them. (Not at all a coffe addict over here) 

Have a good morning! be sweet and tasty! 

Caramel Popcorn

I came across caramel popcorn when I was just 6 years old. I have loved it since then but kind of lost track of it and left it forgotten on the back of my mind until yesterday. A bad shopping trip with my mom and dad (junk food buying) lead me to look for popcorn (microwave one) and on that quest, there it was, just sitting there waiting. Waiting for what? I have no idea but I'd like to think it was waiting for me to find it! And I did. 

How good is it to indulge sometimes with those kind of treats? Maybe not too often but it was nice to remember that I loved it and made me travel down memory lane and cherish those nice careless childhood moments when I would go to some place and grab of one those baggies. 

It is so super nice to come across those treats from your toddler years and have an actual kid moment when you are an adult (not that I consider myself one, but you got the idea). 

I fell in love all over again! 

Which was your favorite treat when you were growing up? 

love you!

Midterm Blues: A cure.

When I am having a bad day of studying, or well an intense study day to say it better, hahaha, i always find myself getting really depressed and hating my life at the moment. Midterms can be stressful enough alone and to add up the whole lot of readings and summarizing to do, is just not pretty nor pleasant. That's why guys! let me tell you! Study way ahead so you're not suffering like me right now! 

Well enough with the rant. I came to speak of a cure, yes I am in deed a little expert on how to cure my blues. I just eat sweet things. I go on the hunt of candy, some gummy's work. If there is nothing at all in my house, which is rare, I stage some sweet diversion. For example, Yesterday I made a banana sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and some blue berries, that I microwaved for like 30 seconds (just a rough count) and TADA! dessert was ready! It made my mood change and gave me some more energy to keep up and to be able to keep my eyes open longer. 

what is your way to cure any kind of blues? 

xo,
