This is a very easy and quick recipe for a chocolate cake with a little twist: add some banana for an even richer flavour! The cake is easy to make for a small or big crowd and absolutely mouthwatering.
It's an easy recipe for beginners in baking. It's best to use a very ripe banana as they are sweeter and have a stronger Christina W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06530054209782456121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934053123455196384.post-69071396221483878212015-01-10T16:25:00.000+01:002015-01-10T16:44:16.858+01:00Easy Knitting: Your Own Beanie

It's a new year and it's also January, and in January it usually gets rather cold here in Austria. So, it was high time that me to get into knitting again! I've already knitted my own headband about a year ago, so why not try knitting a beanie now?

I started blogging in December 2013. It’s been a year of blogging and I'm still here - so I must be liking it! ;) Now it is the end of 2014 and the time is perfect for a post on my personal development in blogging and that’s why I came up with this list:

Finally the autumn mood has also kicked in for me and when I get home from work, all i want to do is relax somewhere cozy and warm, maybe have a nice cup of tea and something that fits perfectly with that is a warm and juicy fruit crumble.

And the apple-craze continues! In my last post I shared with you my Apple Cinnamon Muffins (which where gone really soon) and so I thought of making something that might last a little longer: oven-baked apple chips! I got my inspiration from the blog Kosher on a budget and these turn out especially well with really ripe apples Christina W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06530054209782456121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934053123455196384.post-86970542605101460672014-10-22T23:06:00.000+02:002014-12-23T19:58:49.987+01:00Whole Grain Apple-Cinnamon Muffins

You might already be familiar with my Rhubarb-Muffins, which are adapted from my favourite, quickest and most simple muffin recipe by Donna Hay. Since it's autumn now, and rhubarb is not in season anymore, I thought of how I could change this recipe a little. And what's one of the most popular fruits in autumn? Correct!

I was inspired to do this mobile for a baby crib because a colleague of mine is having a baby. I wanted to give her something personal and cute and something that she might have a use for. I decided on something simple yet pretty and so I made paper butterflies and clouds to hang. It was not very hard to make but definitely one Christina W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06530054209782456121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934053123455196384.post-82228982289585104272014-06-12T22:49:00.000+02:002014-12-20T22:51:15.047+01:00DIY-pimp your coasters

Now this here is the perfect DIY project for anybody who either has boring, old coasters for glasses at home, or who just can't find cool ones in the shops. I had some cork coasters at home that we never used but I think that's going to change when I'm done with them :)
What you need:
simple coasters (I had 5 cork coasters at hand)

It was time I used something seasonal I haven't used before and here's the outcome of my challenge :)
I've had rhubarb before but I never actually considered cooking or baking with it before. But since it's in season now and the supermarkets are full of it - why not try something new!

Now I don't know about you, but I love bread for breakfast or as a snack and I have started to make my own spreads to go along with it. So much better than most of what you can get in the supermarkets these days. All of these spreads are vegetarian and some of them are also suitable for vegans and all yield about 10 servings.

I've been really busy and haven't been able to anything new in a while but that doesn't mean I haven't been creative ;)
Here's a quick and easy tutorial and you just need:
a mason jar or any other glass jar
acrylic paint
and about 5 minutes of your time :)
This is what I used.
Put about a teaspoon of the paint in the jar. Christina W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06530054209782456121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934053123455196384.post-45025561700190002702014-03-04T22:11:00.000+01:002014-12-20T22:12:45.205+01:00Whole-wheat Banana Bread with Apple Pieces

Who doesn't like a good desert? I certainly do and this recipe has made it to become one of my late favourites. Here's my version of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, adapted from the vegan recipe of Alicia Silverstone which can also be found in her book, 'The Kind Life'.

Inspired by Cassey Ho from Blogilates I was exited to try out this project of a DIY tote bag from an old t-shirt. I'm pretty sure every one of us has one or two t-shirts at home that are not being worn anymore for whatever reason. This makes them perfect for this quick and easy DIY!
So get out the t-shirt...

Knitting for Beginners
I need a headband! It's winter, it's cold and only wearing beanies all the time is not very imaginative. On top of all, they are unpractical and unstylish when I wear my hair up. I couldn't really find any pretty headbands in the shops and if I did find one it was simply too expensive. Therefore, I came to Christina W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06530054209782456121noreply@blogger.com0
