Chocolate Protein Balls

Uploaded on : 2024-Oct-25

My kids loves Swedish chocolate balls, and can eat a whole bunch of them at once. I wanted to find a way to make them with both less calories and sugar, and started to wonder how. I stumbled over a recipe made with chocolate pudding, but still thought it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Then I thought of a friend of mine that likes to eat a low fat, protein enriched chocolate pudding, so why not use it to bake with. The result is a healthier snack I can serve the kids without feeling I'm just giving them a spoon full of sugar.

Macaroni Gratin

Uploaded on : 2024-Oct-13

The only thing this homemade macaroni gratin has in common with mac and cheese is, that they both are quick and easy to prepare. In our home this dish is a popular weekday dinner as it's perfect to make with leftover cooked pasta, which we often have. This time we happened to have sausages as well, but you can prepare it with ham, bacon, or just with pasta depending on what you like.

Apple Pie

Uploaded on : 2024-Oct-03

This is my favorite homemade pie, made with autumn apples from the garden. It has a golden-brown, perfectly crisp crust that crackles as you slice into it. Filled with tender slices of apples, coated in a rich mixture of cinnamon, cardamon, oatmeal, syrup and brown sugar. Every bite evokes the crisp air of fall, with a lingering sweetness that pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.
