A few days ago my colleagues and I were discussing the topic of dreams during lunch. One colleague has dreams about big tsunami like waves on a regular basis, where another told us that, when in high school, he often dreamed about arriving at school in nothing but his underwear. I on the other hand rarely have a recollection of my dreams. However, the best story came from one of my colleagues whom told us about a unique childhood dream.
She once dreamed about a field trip at elementary school where she and her classmates were not involved in a water balloon battle, but in a battle where everyone was throwing with pears.. not just pears though, but peeled pears. She had everyone, including herself, laughing tears. This biggest, unsolved, question that rose was whether or not you'd have to peel the pear first, before throwing, or that they were just peeled.. like that. We'll never know and all agreed that the mind is as funny as it is brilliant!
But since it is pear season the funny story did inspire me to bake a pear pie. I find that pears and chocolate are an excellent combination and therefore covered the pastry with homemade chocolate, almond butter, pears and creme alsacienne. Delisch!
Invite your friends over for tea and pie after a walk through the beautiful forest. Got to love the Fall colors.
Let me know what you think of the recipe.

Enthusiast in Life #1 - The Feeder
I love to bake.
Cookies, scones, pies, cakes.. you name it and I've at least gave it a try baking it.
Besides baking I also love to eat cookies, scones, pies and cakes.. whenever, wherever! Especially when chocolate is involved.
The problem is that usually my baking isn't very healthy.. good, sometimes (being modest here ;)) very good, but not healthy. Ofcourse I could sub sugar for maple syrup or honey and use coconut oil instead of butter or whatever classifies as healthy baking, but it just doesn't do it for me. And I'm fine with that. The thing is though that eating all those bakings by myself wouldn't be the best idea, nor the most socially accepted. That's why I started sharing and dealing (sugar is an addictive drug!) my bakings. At the office, with friends, family and climbing buddies and a while ago even with a stranger through the Instagram (IG) #coffeecookieswap. I love it!
I get to bake and both me and the chosen ones (once again being modest ;)) get their sugar-rush. Also, homemade bakings make the perfect birthday/housewarming/cheer-up or thank-you gift! Cookies really do well being wrapped and send by mail :).
So be prepared, because I intend to bake a lot more. I recently discovered that there's no pictures of my specialties, soft-and-chewy chocolate chip cookies and apple pie (my mum's recipe!), on my IG account. Seriously, I need to get my game on!
Below some pictures of some of my, more or less, recent sweet tooth adventures.
