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
London – love from first sight
It was time for our spring tradition. We had to took the hard decision choosing between London and Rome. Daniel wanted to visit Rome, but (as I told you before) I’m not really into Italy, so ‘we’ have decided to see London first 🙂 London is the most astonishing city I have ever been in. Big, fat and fabulous, spectacular mix between old English traditions and new culture and modern vibes. It was love from first sight – the architecture, the castles, bridges, gardens… and nice English weather of course. We have spent almost a week there, feeling and living in that mesmerizing place and atmosphere, and it only took us 5 minutes to decide that this is THE place. Our place abroad. We took 2 hours flight to Luton early in the morning and landed in rainy England just in time to find out that everything they told us about the spring mornings there is true. Yep, it was cold. It was windy and it was foggy. And wet. Like really, really wet. And grey. Like really, really grey. No matter that, we reached London by bus with the agency and had half-day tour through the city. Let me tell you something for London – half-day tour is not enough. Life-time tour won’t be enough. We were absolutely sure that we’re going to see each of the emblematic spots by ourselves separately later, but it was useful for us to use the bus tour to get acquainted with the city, the transport, the nearby shops, Read More
Blueberry oatmeal muffins
Those muffins are specially made for those Sunday afternoons when you want something nice, sweet and healthy 🙂 As all the rest, this recipe is really simple and the whole cooking time prior baking takes no more than 10 minutes. Have in mind that you need ~30 minutes in addition before baking while oat should soak the ingredients and should rest. Speaking of ingredients, here are them: half tea cup einkorn flour (~120-130 grams) – 3 to 4 BGN for 300-500 grams package half tea cup of fine oat flakes (~120-130 grams) – 2 to 3 BGN for a kilo package 1 egg – 2 to 4 BGN for 6 to 12 eggs pack yogurt (~250-300 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) olive oil (2 tablespoons) – 15 to 20 BGN per kilo half tea cup or 2/3 of tea cup (depends on your taste) natural brown sugar – up to 5 BGN per half-kilo package vanilla pod – up to 10 pieces for 1 BGN What to do? Put the yogurt together with the baking soda in a bowl. Add the egg and the olive oil. Mix with the sugar and vanilla to a nice texture. Mill your oat flakes in a chopper to a oatmeal flour and put it together with the einkorn flour to the bowl. Leave it like that for ~30 minutes. Put the blueberries and mix really really gently (you don’t want to Read More
Paris, je t’aime
I’m pretty sure that Paris is like the center of Europe and every year millions and millions of tourists are visiting that spectacular place. It’s lovely there, even though I’m not in love in France. It is absolutely outstanding to be there and to feel Paris. It was one of the loveliest places I have ever been to and it was really impressing. Firstly, we took a short 2 hours flight to Charles de Gaulle and then it took us 2 hours more to reach our hotel right next to Musée Grévi just a couple of meters from Boulevard Montmartre and Grands Boulevards metro station. We were using tour agency again, as we weren’t sure if we’re going to make it not speaking French. The hotel itself was poor as expected – like every average hotel in Paris ours was having small rooms, even smaller bathrooms, and not-really interesting breakfasts. By the way – in case you want to spend hundreds of euros for a hotel – Paris is offering you the opportunity to book enormously expensive hotel with average services every day 🙂 And if this is not enough for you, you most probably will have to pay for thin walls, noisy streets, no elevators… but in the end you’re ok with that, and basically you’re ok with everything, because oh, yeah – you are in Paris! The rest of the first day in Paris we spent walking in the neighborhood reaching Jardin des Tuileries and Musée du Louvre from the one side and Place de la Concorde to the other. It Read More
