Savory muffins recipe (breakfast muffins)
As I always like to say something about myself in these articles, another thing about me is that I am not a morning person. I think that’s the definition anyway… Not necessarily not a morning person, but I find it very hard to “socialize” at least for an hour after I wake up, drink my coffee and read my emails, check out my Instagram account, Facebook etc. [Read more…]

I know what it’s going to happen with them if I don’t invent something. Right straight into the bin! What a waste of money and not to say effort. [Read more…]
Homemade bread with chia seeds
