Avocado sandwich

April 16, 2015

Hello my dear readers! How are you doing? Are you an avocado lover like I am? Or maybe a sandwich junkie, like I am? 😀 Then this post will be perfect for you! I was making this avocado sandwich about two days ago and I though that it would be good to “document” it and share it with you since it’s super delicious, healthy and easy to prepare at home. Of course, you can play with the ingredients and put in or leave out some of them, according to your liking.

Hello my dear readers! How are you doing? Are you ready for Easter this coming weekend? I’m having a bitter sweet moment going on as this will be the first Easter that I’ll spend so far away and without any family/ relatives except my own little family and we’re spending it in LA.

Life lately via Instagram

March 3, 2015

Good early morning everybody! I’m writing this post from the Helsinki-Vantaa airport prior to boarding on a plane to Frankfurt and then another one to LAX. Can’t wait to hop on both of these flights! I guess I’m one of very few people who are this excited to spend about 15 hours “in the air”. 😀

Gourmet moment: Feta cheese and kale salad

February 26, 2015

Buon apetit my dear readers! :)As you might already know, I’m in the midst of moving and am swamped with tons of boxes that need to be packed and stored + I’m trying to empty my fridge completely, so while not having much time to cook anything special and using only the ingredients that I have left in my fridge, I’ve decided to whip up a healthy salad for yesterday’s lunch and my family loved it!

Gourmet moment : Guacamole

February 8, 2015

Good Sunday everybody! Any lovers of avocado over here?? I’m SO avobsessed!! 😀 Avocado in anything, anywhere, anytime and I’m gonna be the first one to jump in and start munching. 🙂

My favourite way to have avocado is in guacamole, it beats any sandwich spread or salad “sauce” because it’s super healthy and so easy to prepare.

This is the way how I like to prepare it, but I do “adjust” it from time to time, depending on if I feel like I need more spiciness or so…

Gourmet moment: Restaurant Peninsula 1899

January 7, 2015

Hello everybody! Huh, I woke up feeling quite full from a big feast that we had yesterday. Me and my “worser” half have celebrated 7 years dating anniversary and we’ve decided to try out new Chinese restaurant in Helsinki. Peninsula 1899 is so far the only authentic Chinese restaurant that I’ve been to in Helsinki. Every other place was ok or bad and they pretty much all served the same tasting/ smelling food, some with more, some with less fresh ingredients, but the differences were small.

November 14, 2014

Hello Friday and hello to one of my favourite dishes ever! I wasn’t a huge Thai cuisine lover before, but thanks to my husband I have turned into one and veggie/ tofu Pad thai is definitely my favourite dish. Second one got to be Massaman curry, but I still have never tried to prepare it at home, so today, I’ll share with you how I prepare my Pad thai at home.
