These honey friands are my go to when I want something sweet but not overly complicated. They're wonderfully simple to make, coming together in just 45 minutes from start to finish, and they're kind to your budget too. The almond flour and almonds give them such a lovely texture while providing protein and healthy fats that keep you satisfied. What I love most is how forgiving they are: just mix, pour into molds, and bake. Perfect for a weekend treat or when you need to bring something to share without spending hours in the kitchen.

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Use parchment paper to prevent the pastry from sticking.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Tip: Whisk to combine.
- 3
Add the softened butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Tip: Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, honey, and melted butter.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix.
- 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of about 3mm.
Tip: Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.
- 7
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.
Tip: Gather the scraps, re-roll the dough, and cut out more circles.
- 8
Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1cm of space between each friand.
Tip: Brush the tops with a little extra honey for extra sweetness.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Tip: Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
Tropical Quinoa
This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt
This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just ten minutes flat. Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt is that perfect balance of impressive and effortless, with tangy Greek yogurt and zingy preserved lemon creating a sauce that feels restaurant quality but tastes like home. The seabass gets beautifully golden and flaky while the freekeh provides substantial whole grains packed with fiber and protein. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
