GIVE ME A BREAK

Sunday afternoon, I am on diet: come on, do I have to look like this when I will wear my bikini? I need a break. Actually I am hungry. Donna Hey has the solution:

home made (light granola) with yogurt and fresh strawberry. 

In a bowl make a mix of

oat flakes (biological and unsugared) - 2 large cups

add pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds - 1/2 cup each

some dried apricot 

some almonds

maple syrup - 7/8 tablespoon

and mix all together.
Put the mixture in the oven for 10 minutes, quite close to the grill so that it can get crunchy and slightly burnt (I said slightly!). Let it cool down before putting in a jar.
Create your own cup: fresh fruit on the bottom, unsugared yogurt, your granola on the top.

Delicious and healthy. My perfect break: totally without feeling guilty!



Be happy and enjoy every minute!

PETALS

LAtely I am so much into cooking in a "stylish" way and my best friend got me a book from Donna Hey "no time to cook" where healthy food and style merge together. This got me inspired in preparing:

Raw Veggie Petals with light cheese cream

Petals:

I cut the carrots and the celery with a slicer, but basically it can be done with every raw vegetable

for the cheese dip:

light creamy cheese

3tb of extra virgin olive oil

salt

pepper

lemon juice

thyme

lemongrass

Emulsify all the ingredients with the blender and serve the dip in small glasses.

Put the veggie petals in Japanese bowls and serve them both in a plate giving all your guests chopsticks to eat them.

Be happy and enjoy petals!

A LAUGHTER WILL KEEP US ALIVE

I still remember all the laughter I had with my mother when I was a child. I can recall in my ears our crystalline giggles. She pulled my leg and tricked me in such a loving and caring way. Through our laughter I deeply realize I never will be loved the way she loves me.
Aren't laughters the best way to let love flow?


Love and cherish your day!
