BYE BYE MILANO !!!

The last day and night in Milan were perfect, with the inevitable shopping and a late dinner.

TASTY GREEN BEAN !!!

I told you that I started with a healthy diet a few weeks ago.
I try to completely throw white sugar from my diet and for now it's going pretty good. However, I must admit that this regime has brought little difficulty in my everyday life. Primarily because it takes some time to create meals for the next day.
My problem arose when I turned to fast food. Namely, since a lot of time, because of my work, I spend outdoors, I did not have time to eat healthy. So my menu was mainly based on products from the bakery or sweets ... as you can see, I was eating pure sugar.

I decided to change this, the first thing was to, not buy meals at the bakery, but rather to make homemade bread and turn it into a healthy sandwiches you can take with you.
Next thing is squeezed grapefruit every morning, as well as large cup of black or green tea (drink a couple of cups a day).
The next step was taking a snack or side dish. Everyone advise that these snacks should be fruits, and I started to eat twice a day, a wonderful, juicy mandarin.
The last change, which is also very important is that with every meal you have to eat salad.

In the spirit of the new diet I've been researching on the internet looking for healthy recipes, and I came across this, which I really liked. I can tell you that it is quite delicious :)

RUSTIC BREAD !!!

As you know, I live in Serbia, a country that has a very strong cult of consumption of bread. Bread is eaten with almost every meal. Here you will see people even eat bread with pasta :)

Research conducted by a daily newspaper in Serbia, says that an average citizen of my country consumes about 100 kg of bread per year, which is three times higher than the European average.

Bread has a special place in the Serbian culture and tradition. It is used in many rituals related to child birth, marriage, home and village celebration or annual holidays.

In traditional Serbia greeting someone with bread and salt is a symbol of welcome.

BIRTHDAY GIRL !!!

So ... last week we celebrated my birthday. Unlike many I enjoy organizing parties for my friends. This year's celebration was phenomenal.

Home made food good wine and lots of laugh are definitely a recipe for a good time.

This year I wanted a lot of different colors on the table. So I decided to make cupcakes and famous macaroons.

I have to admit that I had never made anything like this. Although they are not so perfect, I think that they are  extremely cute. What do you think?!

YUMMY COCOA CAKE

You will adore this cake!!! So easy and so yummy!!!

TIME FOR SOME STRAWBERRIES

In the era of Greeks and Romans, it was a wild plant, a symbol of the goddess Venus because of it's shape and color, and it's first botanical illustrations were published in 1454. Belgium even dedicated to her a museum...This is one magical plant.
