Verona, what a surprise, in spite of everything I had read about it, still was a surprise, and a very pleasant one I must say. In an apparently small town, so much to see and visit. Charming, lovely, historical, ancient, vibrant, lively are just a few of the adjectives I…
Decadent. There is no better word to describe it. Moist, rich, delicious, my best chocolate cake so far. I have been a fan of Nigella Lawson for quite some time. I like her shows, her British accent, her easy to make recipes. I was surfing her website, under the gluten…

Right on time for breakfast on another Monday morning. Are you like me and detest Mondays? Well, if yes (or even if not), this mug cake will make you smile. I was not a fan of mug cakes for a long time, because I found them bland, uninteresting and dry.…
