This has to be the easiest and fastest Chocolate Chip cookies recipe ever. I would go through the “from scratch” versions but most of the time I am in a hurry I try to make up the use of cake-mix by using omega 3 fortified eggs and additional ground walnuts to minimize the “unhealthy” factor.
For this recipe you need:
1 box of yellow cake mix
2 eggs (free range or omega 3 versions are preferred)
1/3 cups butter softened (I use Lurpack light and sometimes combine with Elle & Vire 75% fat-free)
1/3 cup ground walnuts
1 packet semi-sweet chocolate chips

Today my blog turns 1 month old!! Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and support!! On this day it also happens to be my beautiful sister’s birthday! I would love to wish her a Happy Birthday! Hope she has a lovely one!
The title of my Blog means a bit of everything, its why I will include posts related to various issues that contribute to forming our “lifestyle”. I am not a professional cook or chef myself but cooking and baking are among my hobbies, food is a MAJOR part of my life. I have a good reputation regarding my cooking skills, which is why I will share with you the most popular recipes. Since I am a mom of two, have a fulltime job, and now this blog, my recipes are usually very fast, convenient, and simple. I am very “health” conscious though I tend to use some unhealthy options for lack of time or substitutes. Every month I will throw in a recipe , hope you like them!
This dessert was actually a recipe given to me by a friend I used to work with at my previous job in Lebanon, every time I make it its a huge hit. The basic tiramisu has mascarpone, this one relies on whipped cream and condensed milk instead with the addition of bananas, hence the name “with a twist” 🙂 Yes I know very fattening but I only make it 2-3 times a year and I make it in small portions for control. You can’t use low fat cream as it will not be fluffy like this one, I tried it, it didn’t work. So let’s get started!
