The autumn has its rights. One of them is the title to richer food. You can't trick the autumn appetite with a slice of watermelon or a bowl of strawberries. We have to wait for these fresh treasures for a long time. Now, like small bears, for a little while we can feast with impunity on less dietetic sweetmeats.

Today I would like to share with you the recipe for cinnamon chocolate muffins with a plum surprise inside. If you decorate them with chocolate icing and a piece of plum, nobody can resist them. If you would like to keep them to yourself, you need to conceal the muffins, but the aroma will probably give away your secret.

Ingredients (12 muffins)
300g of flour
3 tablespoons of cocoa
150g of butter
1 banana
170ml of milk
160g of brown sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
6 plums

Green soups, salads or crepes are associated with the spring. I don't like long and depressing November, when more often it is raining and outside eddy by turns the fog and awful smog. The classic quote is: "too bad, we have such a climate". So, to cope with the autumn sombreness, I prepared a soup with peas and kale that was green like a spring meadow.

My children like pea soup. Usually, I prepare it not too thick and serve with rice, groats or noodles. This time I prepared a creamy soup with roast almond flakes. This soup allowed me to smuggle kale into the meal. My children don't like it, except for crisps with a bit of salt and sesame seeds.

Ingredients:
500g of peas
2 fistfuls of kale
2 cloves of garlic
a piece of leek
1 tablespoon of butter
1l of vegetable stock
salt and pepper
almond flakes
natural yoghurt

I try to prepare healthy packed lunches for my children. Among other things, every day I pack fruit and vegetables, nuts or dried fruit into the lunch box. Sometimes I want to surprise my children and add something sweet. Today I made crunchy cookies with peanut butter, which are excellent as a treat.

You can prepare the dough for the cookies the day before. Then you only need to shape the cookies and bake them. You can enrich the cookies with chopped nuts – peanuts or cashew nuts - and chocolate drops. You can bake them without these ingredients and with pleasure munch them while drinking hot cocoa.

Kale is a kind of cabbage. It contains the biggest amount of calcium of all the vegetables, and it also doesn't contain oxalates. It is a valuable ingredient in preventing osteoporosis. Kale can be fried, baked or blanched, and the young leaves are great raw. It is excellent as a filling ingredient for pies and soups.
