Banana tartlets.

Believe it or not, but I'm actually trying hard to post something else than updates of what I did in the past month. But it's sooooooo hard to find the time to cook something, take pictures of it ànd write down the recipe (I usually just go along as I'm baking and afterwards I can't remember how much flour I exactly added, if I added some milk or not, those kind of stuff). I actually made these banana tartles last year and only now have I found the time to share this delicious recipe with you guys. Apart from the dough, it's supereasy too! The boyfriend and I made this again for his birthday but instead of making different smaller pies we made 1 big one. So you can do whatever you want with it.. Whatever looks best to you!

Croque Inez

A while back, I had a day off from work and I had it all to myself since the boyfriend had to work. The perfect time to experiment with food because there's no one there to see me fail if it all goes horribly wrong. That's when I came up with this 'Croque Inez' (for lack of a better name).

Most of you probably know the classic Croque Monsieur and its variants (croque madame, hawaï, ...) which I adore but sometimes you just want something different. Inspired by a delicious bagel I ate once at Jackie's Bagel bar, I came up with my own version of this classic. Arugula, pesto, bacon and mozzarella are the key ingredients of this toast. And pine nuts of course, they were the reason I invented this croque in the first place.

Lisboa. /3

Suddenly it dawned on me that I hadn't shared the pictures of the last day of our trip to Lisbon. So with a little (a lot) delay, here are the last pictures:
