It was one of those lazy weekend mornings in Casablanca when everything felt slow and a bit messy, and honestly, I wasn’t even planning to cook anything special

We had just come back from a small family trip, the kids were tired, the kitchen was a disaster, and I was standing there thinking what on earth can I make that is quick, filling, and doesn’t require a full cooking battle

Have you ever had that moment where everyone is hungry at the same time, and you just stare at the fridge, hoping it magically turns into a restaurant?

Yeah, that was me

I remember opening the fridge and seeing a tub of cottage cheese sitting there like it was waiting for its moment, and I laughed a bit because I had totally forgotten about it

First try, I just mixed it with whatever I found: bananas, a few strawberries, and a little honey, and I wasn’t expecting much. Honestly, I even told myself that if this tastes weird, we are ordering food
