On a boring thursday night - first video post

Haha, my accent is so funny! I always wanted to try this!:P
Never mind if you don't understand what am I talking about... I'm talking about absolutely nothing!! :D

dreams, dreams, dreams

Have you ever had a dream when you could control the happenings?
I had that last night and it was so special. I was in a situation I always wanted to be and I chose what happens next..everything was pefrect and I felt happy. Than suddenly I woke up and I was dissapointed. I wanted to continue that dream, so I tried to go back in my thoughts and continue the story line. At 5AM for more than an hour I was thinking about this dream,but thinking about it  wasn’t the same feeling anymore.
Isn’t it interesting we dream about things that we always wanted to do, but never did? And sometimes about fears…sometimes we visit the most wonderful places and sometimes dreams take us  where we never wanted to be…

Anyway still in Italy. Feeling a little ill, so no skiing today. Maybe I go for a short walk and enjoy the bright snow and sunshine…
Meals I eat here really inspire me and give me lots of ideas what to cook & bake when I get home..;) So, get prepared, delicious and healthy recipes are coming soon!:)

Hello from Sappada,Italy!

After 12 hours travelling by car, we are finally here.
Although on the whole way it seemed there will be 0 snow, finally we were just 15 minutes away from our destination when it started to snow heavily! Evertyhing is white, so don't have to worry about the upcoming days..
Anyway my biggest joy of the day was when we ate outside in the 3°C next to the car... Yeah, but the car feels good and clear!;) Ok, I stop being impish!:P My father has some interesting rules, but that's ok,I have some too!;))

And to write something about sweets: I ate tiramisu tonight and it was amazing. But have to say it was a bit too sweet for me... so, not sure I'll eat more desserts while I'm here, athough it's hard to say no, they look fab!

Ok, I have to keep this post short as I only have 3 hours internet access and  have to leave the half of it for tomorrow... it's not free...:(

Sweet dreams to everyone!

Fried apples with cinnamon & preparing for the travel

Tomorrow I'm travelling to Sappada, Italy with my parents. So, today was about preparing, make my suitcase ready...and that's all. It was kind of boring. And I say this very quietly as my lovely Mum is reading my blog, but I'm not in a mood of travelling. At least at this moment. But maybe tomorrow on our way (on our looong way) I'll feel different. And not at last, I hate to travel by car!!!!!!! Usually I feel so bad.. and it makes me tired and sleepy.
Never mind, more than 10 hours.. what's that for me!!?

But without jokes..I have to say on other hand I'm waiting  it as it seems like a perfect place to think about things which are in my mind these days.

But be back to the main topic. Sweets!
Today I prepared fried apples with cinnamon.
I have never eaten them before, so I was afraid a bit, but have to say these were TASTY!

I used 0.5kg apples (app.3 pieces)
1 egg
10 dkg graham flour
2 dl milk
a few tbs fructose
1 tbs milk sugar
a pint of salt
cinnamon
olive oil (just for the frying)

I peeled and sliced up the apples, than put a little bit of fructose on both side of the apple slices.

Than I preared the mixture from the egg, flour, milk, milk sugar, salt and a pint of cinnamon.

I plunged the apples into the mix and quickly dropped them into the hot oil and fried them until they got nice brown.

When they are ready you can put some more fructose and cinnamonon if you prefer more sweet tastes.


Honesly, I tasted only a few slices as my family ate it all!:) It's easy to destroy these yummy sweets, so you can prepare it from 1kg apple!;)

Hopefully I'll have chance to blog from Italy...I really hope so as I can live without internet just very hardly!:P

I'm singin' follow me...;)

I send this great song to all my lovely followers!! And for those who love my blog and read it... but they are still in incognito...:D So,please, FOLLOW me!
I would happily sing this by myself, but I still don't have that many followers to make a video blog!:P

Hot, Spicy, Curry Chicken

I know...I wasn't a good girl as I missed 2 days...Hope nobody starved to death without my lovely recipes! haha
But it was a testimational time, and I gladly report you that everybody's still alive and everybody liked my sweets.(hope they told the truth..;))
Today I gonna show you a real spicy food. I know it's not sweet, but I don't igsist to publish only sweets. And I have to say I'm really full of sweets and unless I want to be 365 kg for the end of the year... I should eat a little bit less. Even if these are all healthy.

So, Hot Spicy Curry Chicken:

I don't write exact quantities,just use everything to your taste, but I have to say the more you use the tastier it is!;)

- chicken fillet
- chilli
- curry
- curcuma
- parsley
- hot pepper sauce
- salt
- pepper
-olive oil

Slice up the chicken fillet into small cubes and use the spices.
For 0.5kg meat I crumble 2-3 chillies and you need just a few drops of hot pepper sauce, but if you are not really into spicy food, you can leave this ingredient. Feel free to make it to your taste.
When you are ready with the spices, pour a little olive oil on the chicken.
If you are not in rush, you can leave it for 5-10 minutes while tastes meet.
Than fry it until it has a nice goldish color.

You can eat with rice... of course brown rice!;)) But I was lazy this time, so I prepared just an easy tomato salad with balsamic vinegar.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

Graham pancakes filled with banana sauce

I have to say I've baked my "daily sweets" yesterday, but I was too tired to blog it at the evening. But here it is now.

I prepared graham pancakes with banana sauce. These pancakes are different in taste and in consistency, but if you don't wait the same taste and you're ready for something new, than do not hesitate to try out this recipe!

What you need:
(to make app. 12 pancakes)

20 dkg graham flour
2 eggs
3 dl milk
1.5 dl mineral water
1 tbs milk sugar
a pint of salt
2 tbs olive oil + for the frying

Mix the flour, eggs, salt, milk sugar and oil. Than add continuously the milk and finally the water. When it's totally smooth leave it for at least 5-10 minutes. Than you can start baking in a frying pan.

My advice: when I mixed everything, I checked the mixture. It's a good idea to make a "test baking" so if the pancake is too thick, you can add some more milk & water. As graham flour is absolutely different than white flour, this time I had to add some more liquid into the mixture.


Banana sauce:
to fill 6 pancakes

2 bananas
5-6 tbs agave syrup or honey
5 tbs water

Slice up the bananas and put them with all the other ingredients into a frying pan and fry them on medium temperature. Mix them continuously until you get a sauce like marmelade.



Fill the pencakes and enjoy! Serve them hot! You can pour some agave syrup or honey on them.
