ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

February 25, 2020 15 Comments

Hiya,

I hope you all had a good break now that schools are back on. I thought it would actually feel like a real break for me but let’s just say that having both of them at home, at the same time, all day and the gloomy weather wasn’t as relaxing. Anyway, a while back I decided to give you all a recipe week where I shared a recipe everyday to catch up with my cooking videos, which can be hectic to schedule to go with a blog post at the same time. So today I am back with another recipe which didn’t make it to that list but so worth it and it’s my roasted butternut squash soup. For this delicious soup recipe, you will need;

CHECK OUT THESE 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START A BLOG

February 18, 2020 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I hope you had a great start of the year. I don’t even know where to begin since it’s been a while since I came on here and wrote something. A little update about my life, so we moved house and still have stuff in boxes, I am yet to put up curtains and drill holes. My son had to change schools and the closest one is apparently out of spaces left. My school runs are not as exciting as before but he will still have to change schools again come next school year. Anyway, it’s been a lot and I have literally not felt like writing anything nor have I recorded any recipes. So, since February is here, I decided to give you reasons why you should start a blog today.

CHEESE STUFFED TURKEY STEAKS

November 26, 2019 14 Comments

Happy new week,

So this weather isn’t really doing me any favours and I know Thanksgiving is literally a stone throw away. I never celebrated it when I was younger and even now, we don’t really do anything big. I am sure, you’ve already planned out your decorations and what to cook on that day but if you don’t really fancy having a turkey roast on the day, then these cheese stuffed turkey steaks can be an alternative for you, easy to prep pan fried and totally delicious. For this recipe you will need;

T’is the season

Hey there, so December is around the corner and I haven’t even started any shopping yet. My tree is eating dust somewhere in the garage and don’t even get me started with gift giving. Anyway, I know some of you are already getting the hang of things and already have your tree up which is great by the way. Today’s post is a bit different, I already did some gift guides before which still apply this year be it for him, her and the kids. Also if you need some for the interior lover then I have one for that too but today I decided to give you the best thoughtful and practical housewarming gift ideas.

I am sure you’re wondering like really, housewarming? Yes that’s right, I am going to be moving house soon and I just decided housewarming gift ideas sound pretty good right now. Also there might be someone out there who is moving into a new home just in time for Christmas, so I would like to share with them some gift ideas which are thoughtful and practical at the same time. Okay let’s get started.

November 15, 2019 17 Comments

So,

Can you believe how fast this week has gone by? It’s almost the weekend and the weather is really not doing me any favours this time. I have literally been rained on every school run and it seems like it’s not going to settle down anytime soon. I am back today with a continuation of my recipe week 1 posts with these mini tortilla crust pizzas. Yes, the season calls for soups, hearty stews and everything gingerbread and I know that but this was long overdue. I hope you do understand, it’s not going to be a full week of recipes like last time but I will be throwing one once in a while to support my channel.

BEST TIPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

November 12, 2019 11 Comments

Hi,

Happy new week everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and also enjoyed the rain that came with it, that is if you were indoors. Anyway today I am back with a skincare post, in my skincare products I want to try out this year post, I told you about my spring allergy and how it flares up and also what I wanted to do to deal with it. What I was not expecting is it to come back again this time of the year even though I knew it was just a Spring thing. I already knew I had sensitive skin and if you read the post on the products that didn’t work for me, then you will see how I almost burnt my face off. My skin is definitely not my friend right now, hence why I am here with best tips for sensitive skin.

I do have sensitive skin and it keeps getting more sensitive as time goes, I never used to really have any problems with my skin until I moved from Croatia and then everything just started doing it’s own thing. Anyway, these are some of the tips that have helped in my experience when dealing with sensitive skin.
