Apple oatmeal cake

There have been at least a month since I’m in love in this recipe that I have firstly saw in Sophie Yotova’s Foodie Boulevard blog. I have modified it (because I didn’t have all the ingredients in the first place) but it tasted so nice that I actually didn’t even try the original recipe ever (sorry, Sophie!). All you need is about 40 minutes and the following: couple of small apples (or 2-3 bigger ones) (~300-400 grams) – something like 2 BGN per kilo 3 eggs – 2 to 4 BGN for 6 to 12 eggs pack a tea cup of fine oat flakes (~120-130 grams) – 2 to 3 BGN for a kilo package a handful of raisins (~100 grams) – something like 2 BGN for a 150-200 grams package half tea cup of yogurt (~200 grams) – up to 2 BGN for 400 grams box baking soda (a tea spoon) – up to 1 BGN for a package (~20 tea spoons spoons) 2-3 tea spoons of linseed – up to 2 BGN for a half a kilo package 1/3 of a tea cup of wholemeal flour – up to 3-5 BGN for a kilo package 3-4-5 full tablespoons of honey – 7 to 10 BGN for a kilo jar pinch of vanilla or cinnamon (depends on your taste) – up to 1 BGN for a package Ok, let’s do it: Peel, core and cut the apples into a small pieces. By hand, do not use chopper for that because pieces would be too small. Read More

Autumn in Rome

Remember that back in the Spring of 2015 we were wondering where to go – Rome or London? Yes, we have decided to go to London first, but I was feeling that Daniel lost that fight regretfully and he really wanted to see Rome. That is why I chose to be ‘the best girlfriend ever’ and booked a trip to Rome as a gift for his birthday. Daniel was born on September 1st, but I was in the middle of something with my employer in that time, so our trip was planned for the begging of October. I gave him a birthday cake together with the tickets and I think he enjoyed them. I’m saying ‘I think’ because I’m actually living with a person who is able to express emotions only when is hungry 🙂  However, we had an hour flight to Rome on October 1st and landed in sunny Italy early in the morning. We took a bus to the city and faced Rome’s morning traffic (not really pleasant experience). Our hotel was close to Termini Station (great location!) – close to everything in the center and on couple of minutes distance with metro to any other location. Again, we had short bus and walk tour through the city with the agency than we have spent the rest of time only by ourselves. The only tour I have booked through the agency was Vatican city. It was worth it.  Couple of things to tell you about Rome: it’s really, really nice there. Except the Read More
