on June 03, 2013 in KITCHEN TIPS

You may remember that I posted some time ago a yogurt and pineapple recipe. A lot of people asked me if that was canned pineapple or not. To answer the question for everybody: it was fresh from the market and I had the chance to play with it a bit!

So I made this step by step tutorial for you about how to peel and cut pineapples that covers the entire process from buying to eating.

Apple Pancakes with Cinnamon Yogurt

on May 30, 2013 in BREAKFAST / DESSERT

Remember that cinnamon yogurt dip from a couple of posts back?

It serves a greater purpose now. Pancakes! Fluffy apple and cinnamon flavored pancakes. A breakfast for the ages one might say.

I can’t even describe how great it is to eat this spicy chicken with fresh veggies combination after a hard day of work. It is like a blessing! You cook this in no time, and then you can just hit play to your favorite show, raise your feet on a chair and eat this whole plate. And then maybe you fall asleep for a few minutes. Then eat another plate!

Refreshing Lemonade on a Hot Day

on May 08, 2013 in DRINKS

I really don’t want to complain again about how hot it is, but I will, because, well, it is hot! I’m constantly thinking of ways to cool down and I’m imagining myself on a beach, under an umbrella with a cold lemonade.
