I have to admit one thing. Last couple of months I prepared only one breakfast every day. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not creative, or because I’m lazy in the morning or just because this breakfast is so perfect so there is no need to change it. I’m talking about the layered breakfast I already shared one recipe for. You can change and combine the ingredients as you wish or with what you find in your fridge. Maybe I am creative after all 🙂 Normally I put Greek yogurt as the first layer, then homemade granola (you can also…
Do you know what snow smells like? No, it’s not just the smell, it is a mixture of scents, colors and a special holiday mood when it looks like you are magically transferred to one of the typical villages from Christmas cards. It smells like snow when it’s so cold outside that everyone is in a hurry to get home, when it smells like wood in the fireplace and when decorated Christmas trees greet us from the balconies. The smell of snow for me is the smell of happiness and childhood, it makes me nostalgic and I start thinking of a far away town and…
Sunday mornings are for sleeping until late and eating great breakfast. And also for doing lots of great stuff you don’t have time for during the week. Like taking long walks, or riding your bike or traveling somewhere…Sundays are magical days! Speaking of doing something cool today, I’m so ready to take my bike and go to the beach. I love looking at the sea and the perfect blue sky. It wipes my troubles away. Sometimes I love Barcelona so much but, I have to admit, sometimes I feel so bored here. I know you will call me crazy, but I guess it happens…
Who doesn’t like chocolate? Very few people, I guess. If I could speak for all the women in the world, I would say no one. Is it possible not to like that perfection that has so many times helped us to get over a failed exam, love crisis or a bad day at work? But I know there are girls and women out there who just don’t share my love for chocolate and that’s ok. Some people just don’t like sweet taste and some just avoid it because of so many times mentioned guilt, so common to women and which doesn’t…
I try to live every day to the fullest, and I normally spend as much time as I can outside. That’s why I always need to have some kind of snack with me, because I don’t like to buy those “healthy” bars full of sugar, artificial flavors and preservatives. Bars are usually the most practical as they are easy to carry and they keep me full for a long time. They are also great to accompany with a cup of coffee and they are a perfect snack at work. They fill you up with energy in a moment. That’s why I…
I just love hazelnuts. There is something about that perfect taste that every time surprises me. I put hazelnuts in everything: granola, overnight oats, shakes, cakes and bars. I have loved hazelnut spreads like Nutella since my childhood and, as a child, I was unable to imagine other breakfast than a slice of bread with Nutella. Unfortunately, the majority of hazelnut chocolate spreads nowadays are full of sugar and have a really low percentage of hazelnuts. In general, they all get the taste from artificial flavors. You get to understand that once you taste the real spread made of actual hazelnuts…
Summer is almost over and it makes me a little bit sad. Weekends at the beach, swimming and sunbathing will soon be over. But, it also makes me happy as autumn is a kind of a new start, a starting point to change your life, to start jogging, find a new job or spend an entire day under a blanket watching TV, and drinking hot chocolate when it’s raining outside. Before summer officially ends, I want to enjoy it just a little bit more, to spend some more time at the beach and enjoy sunrays on my skin. In my mind,…
