Easter eggs - Romanian tradition

Happy Easter :) Wish you all a warm relaxing time with your families during these days :)
I want to share with you these tricks for painting eggs in a 100% natural way, without any chemicals.
So if you are fan of eggs and ready to try something new, then, this recipe is for you.
What you will need:
- eggs;
- 1 old and clean pair of stockings;
- thread;
- 3 pieces beetroot;
- onion peel;
- vinegar

To obtain a red color, you need to peel and cut the beetroot, then you boil it for about 45 min in a large pot. At this quantity of beetroot, you can add about 1,5 - 2 l of water, in any case, the more concentrate the liquid, the more intense the color:

In the next phase, you need  to cover the eggs in onion peel and then place them in the stocking, one by one. After each eggs, you can tie it with thread so it doesn't get released during the boiling process.
When you place them in the pot, the liquid should cover them completely:

They should boil for at least 10 min. When they are boiled, you can place them on napkins to absorb the water and to get colder. Then you can remove the onion peel. For a better look, you could use a bit of oil to give them a shining appearance :)
The result looks like this and I hope you like it:

Brownies with almonds

Hellooooo, dears! Long time, no post :P I have been extremely busy, but I decided to share with you this new recipe I have just tried. Since I am a biiiig fan of brownies, I wanted to make own version, hopefully, a healthier one. I really love it served next to a cup of tea or coffee. This time I had it with ice-cream but it' s really up to you how you will enjoy it :)
Soooo, the ingredients you need:

200 grams chocolate ( I prefer the dark one :))
200 grams butter
100 grams flour
3 spoons cacao
100 grams almonds
3 eggs
50 grams sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder

The first step is to set the oven at 180 degrees to allow it to get hot.
Then you need to melt the chocolate with butter, on a lower level of stove:

When you obtain a liquid mixture, you can take it away from fire. In a bowl, you add the melted chocolate, cacao, sugar, the eggs, the almonds, flour and the baking powder. You can stir it till it becomes a dense composition and then you can lay it in the tray, over the baking paper. To have the same level, I arrange it a bit with a spoon. Now it's good to go in the oven for 20-25 minutes. You don't want to overbake it because it won't have that wet texture, characteristic for brownies. 

For the glaze, I choose some candies filled with coconut and other type of dark chocolate, I followed the same procedure, I melted with a bit of butter:  

When the cake was done, I took it out from oven and waited a bit to get it colder. Then I laid the chocolate glaze on top, careful, with the blade of a knife. 

And voila the cake is done: 

 The eating part is up to you. I am a huge lover of chocolate so I had mine with chocolate ice-cream.

Bon appetit :)
