Fresh and crunchy Waldorf salad
salad that completely won me over (or rather, won my taste buds). Crisp, light, slightly tangy, balanced with sweetness, and surprisingly filling at the same time. Waldorf salad was created in 1896 during a charity ball at the Waldorf Astoria New York in New York City.

Juicy Watermelon and Feta Salad
I’m a big believer in eating fruit in season Watermelon season is here, so it appears on our table almost every day. Watermelon is made up of more than 90% water, so eating it on its own won’t keep you full for long.

Creamy Almond Milk That Never Separates
You’ll find countless almond milk recipes online. But this one is truly exceptional. Maybe you’ve made homemade almond milk before — it tasted pretty good, but after a night in the fridge it separated by the next day. And when you added it to coffee, instead of turning it creamy and smooth, it became grainy and curdled. That happens because…

Fast and Easy Hollandaise Sauce
If you’ve already read my post aboutcholine and how important it is for the nervous system — especially during pregnancy — you’re probably ready to start eating more eggs for breakfast. And for good reason! Eggs are not only one of the best sources of choline, but they also keep you feeling full for longer, which means less snacking throughout…

Homemade Coffee Scrub
Since I was 15, I have regularly used exfoliants. Nowadays, enzymatic scrubs are becoming increasingly popular, but they don’t produce any effect on my skin, so I remain loyal to traditional scrubs.
