Last summer, I promised you that at some point I’ll publish my extremely versatile basic muffin recipe. Well, now is the point 🙂 This variation is spotted with yummy blueberries. If you like, you can replace them with vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or something else, depending on the contents of your pantry or freezer, or simply what you happen to fancy at the moment. A dairy-free variation is also easy to make with coconut milk.

Limoncello is famous Italian liqueur. As a typical liqueur it contains plenty of sugar and is thus not suitable for a very low-carb lifestyle. Therefore, I developed a quick, sugar-free low-carb “Limoncello”, which is used for seasoning this airy dessert mousse.
First, the grated, yellow lemon peel is steeped in vodka at least for overnight. The fluid is then carefully pressed through a strainer and added to a mixture of mascarpone and sweetener. The dessert is finally lightened with beaten egg whites, which round the flavors and make the texture as airy and fluffy mousse.
This adult-only dessert is great for any New Year’s Eve party. The whole family dessert can be made by substituting lemon juice for vodka.

There are constantly great new low-carb products coming to the market. Well, many of them are unhealthy and full of artificial, weird ingredients. The main purpose of these products is not to make you healthy — the main purpose is to take your money. However, sometimes you find great, quite natural products which give some variety to the healthy low-carb lifestyle.
After finding a powdered sweetener consisting of erythritol and stevia there is no way back. It is sweet without the bitter aftertaste of stevia and it has only very little of the cooling effect of erythritol. I tried the sweetener in cooking and baking, and found that it makes really nice marzipan. This great recipe I want to share with you, my dear readers, and wish you happy holidays! 🙂

I invented this homemade Dr Pepper in need of a healthy alternative to Diet Dr Pepper. After checking the ingredient list of a can of Diet Dr Pepper I was wondering if there are any healthy ways to make it myself. It was surprisingly easy and simple to develop, the flavor became great and authentic by itself. Now I can have a healthy alternative whenever I want! Even better, the drink consists of a mere 3 ingredients!
Update 21st October 2013:Frontier Natural Products have changed the flavor and the color of the cherry flavor because they wanted to get rid of the possible GMO-suspect ingredients. That’s a great thing as such, but as a consequence this drink doesn’t taste exactly like Dr Pepper anymore. Well, the drink still tastes good, just not exactly like Dr Pepper.
