So these vanilla muffins is what we call madalenas in Spanish or madalenes in Catalan. Kids grow up eating them and after many years of failed attempts I finally came across a recipe that is close to the ones you can buy in bakeries and…
These baked apples are my mom’s recipe. They bring me memories of growing up, and I associate them with winter. They are extremely easy to prepare and you just need 4 ingredients: apples (I always use golden delicious bc I like their sweetness), sugar, butter…
