Good morning Everybody!
I had a pretty good selection of books this month.:)
Unfortunately I didn't have tim to read all of them, well who has time to read two novels a month? What was I thinking? :)
I will try to do better next time :)
1. I quit sugar : great recipes without any refined sugar ( obviously :) ); I've tried a few of them and they all turned out very good!
2. Everything I Never Told You : well this is the one I didn't have time for, but i'll try to get it again !!
3. The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up : I wanted to see what is all the hype about .... It's a very interesting read, but honestly I am still waiting to declutter our house :D
4. The Girl on the Train : This was my first thriller, and I enjoyed it a LOT. You should definitely read it before the movie comes out.
5. Humans of New York : beautiful photos, it would be a great coffee table book !
Well these are my library finds for this month. :)
I hope you're having a great week!

Good morning!
We are on our second snow day in South Carolina, and I finally had time to make some
delicious snacks again.
My mom made these in Hungary, sent me the recipe and the next day my sister and I

It has no flour, no refined sugar in it, but the carrots and the fresh orange juice
make it perfectly sweet for a little afternoon snack.

* 2 eggs
* 2 yolks
* 20 dkg almond meal
* the zest of one orange
* the juice of half of an orange
* 1 medium carrot ( grated )
* 5 tsp maple syrup
1. Melt you coconut oil and mix it with the eggs and the yolk,
preheat you oven to 350 degrees ( 180 Celsius )
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the coconut oil mixture.
3. Grease your baking sheet ( i used my smallest, square one ) with some coconut oil
and pour your cake mixture in it.
4. Bake it for 35 minutes.
Enjoy!
Have a wonderful week!
