  • Tuesday yumminess!

    Who would have thought I would one day post this recipe?! Certainly not my mom who never seemed to find the right words to tempt me with peppers when I was a child. After I started Paleo, I realised that I had to give another go to many veggies I had disliked for years not to get bored with…

  • Tuesday yumminess!

    Winter, this year, has invited himself way too early to my liking (see my open letter to winter) so I have decided to share this week a lovely recipe that always makes me feel great when it is grey and cold.

  • Tuesday yumminess!

    With Thanksgiving (love love love this special day!) around the corner, it is that time of the year when we wonder what to do with our surplus of (affordable) pumpkin. Savory? Sweet? Cake? Soup?

    “You cannot buy happiness but you can buy sweets and that’s kind of the same thing” – unknown inspired quoter Let’s face it… A life without treats is like a French man without his beret and his baguette or an Italian without pasta, this simply makes no sense (Oooooh THE cliches…). Those lemon meltaway balls are perfect when you…

  • Tuesday yumminess!

    It is a popular belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Scientists cannot agree on this so I have decided for myself and I will eat “breakfast [as Adelle Davis said] “like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper”.  Therefore I am always happy to find delicious…

    You gotta love a getaway weekend to Milano! #LoveMilano Even tho Milano is a big city, you don’t feel you have to rush around. You can decide to take it easy and stroll around the very busy streets around the Duomo or sit at a terrazza and enjoy people watching! On Saturday, we went to…

  • Once upon a time…

    … Smiling? Joking? Pleasant and accommodating? What happened to our Swiss waitress? Oh no wait!! For a minute I forgot we crossed the border and we were now sitting in an Austrian restaurant… You do wonder how 30 kms can change so much in service. Why do Austrian waiters and waitresses are so patient and…
