Here is the recipe:

In February and March it’s the typical fasting time. And this year, we are going forward with this and are fasting alcohol and sweets (anything like desserts, sugar, sweeties, chocolate (yes, I know its not that easy)). And this is where a friend gave me this sugar-free carrot bread recipe, which substitutes sugar with dates. Clever idea I thought and gave it try and you know what? It’s really tasty! We served it for brunch and as an afternoon snack – both perfect!

Originally it was supposed to be a dessert, but we ended up eating the pudding for breakfast and I am now absolutely addicted! If you like rice pudding, you’re probably going to like tapioca. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks girls, for going down memory lane and asking for the recipe of my typical «student dinner» (which is quite some time ago – haha!). A dear friend cooked this dinner for me years ago and I adapted it to what I still remembered. It’s a perfect dish for a weekday dinner that is super easy to prepare. And with the tuna and capers that don’t have fast expiration dates, ideal to store for emergencies and to prepare when you want to have a quick & easy dinner, without having to shop for ingredients!
