I think we’ve all come to terms with the fact that around Christmas we’ll be guilty of eating unhealthily. That’s something we seem to simply accept, with a firm resolution that after Christmas – or maybe after the New Year’s – we’ll get back on track, eat whole, clean foods, hit the gym and put an end to all of our unhealthy habits. And although the majority of festive treats are, indeed, full of fat and sugar (both are fine when consumed in moderation, but the sin we’re most often guilty of is overeating – especially bad when you overeat on unhealthy food), demonizing Christmas food as a whole is a bit unfair. Here are a few health benefits of Christmas food, which you might have never thought about. And when you end up feeling guilty after this year’s Christmas dinner, think back to reading this article and don’t be too harsh on yourself.

Coffee Cream & Chocolate Desserts
Any coffee lovers out here? I made this dessert a while ago, to celebrate the International (or was it “only” national?) Coffee Day. I used the cream from my gluten-free Nutella & coffee cake and added coffee-themed sweets. It turned out great and it’s now become one of my quick (ish) go-to desserts!

Wholemeal Apple Tart
Sweet, aromatic and warming. That’s how the perfect autumn-winter apple tart should be. I like to use wholemeal flour when baking with apples, it adds that rich, almost nutty scent. And it makes the cake a bit healthier too! Enough to excuse the second slice. 😉
My Top 5 Makeup Favourites
Oh hi! I’m coming with a post that’s not a recipe, for once? Cannot be! A while ago (well, it’s almost been 2 years!) I wrote about my makeup favourites. I think it’s about time to update that list. 🙂 I decided to go for my top 5 products (listed in a random order).
Coffee and Nutella Cake
This cake is everything. Heavenly, rich, decadent, chocolatey Nutella cake on the inside (also perfect to eat alone), sweet and soft coffee cream on the outside, with chocolate decorations. Could you possibly ask for more? It does take a bit of time to make, but it’s also fairly simple. It just can’t not work!
About the comeback. Hi (again!)
Hey. Hi. Hello. Welcome to my blog, again. Deja vu? How many times can one take a break from blogging, then make a loud comeback and take another step back? Way too many, that for sure. I’m a horrible blogger.
