Lonjsko polje, Croatia

What can you find in this blog post: lots of photos and my impressions of this beautiful part of Croatia

When I visited Lonjsko Polje I didn’t really know what to expect as I’ve never been in that part of Croatia. So I went without any expectations, equipped with my camera and excitement I always feel when I’m discovering some new place, specially if involves nature! I will write more in details about my impressions but for start let me just say that I loved it.

It was so many of the things that I love to photograph and experience, beautiful nature, adorable animals, peace and quiet, friendly people and so much more. There were also things that brought some heaviness into my heart but more on that later…

Rastoke waterfalls and river Slunjčica, Croatia

Green forest, turquoise river…

We had so much rain and gloomy cold days this Spring that as soon as the sun and warmer temperatures came, I just had an overwhelming wish to spend as much time possible outside in nature. Living in the city for me that means that I have to plan my trips to somewhere that is not too far (up until about 2 hours drive in one direction from Zagreb), somewhere where there are not may people or ideally almost none, where the nature is breathtakingly beautiful, that there is enough shade if the day is very warm and preferably that there is some water nearby, a river, a lake, a stream anything! Not an easy task but from time to time you hit the jack pot and that’s exactly how this location seems and feels to me! 😀

Lemon ricotta cake

March 5, 2021 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Here is something for all of you who love citrus desserts, me included!

When it comes to lemon cakes, you either like them or not, easy as that. I have a friend who loves all fruit cakes but not the ones with lemon. Me on the other hand, love desserts with lemon but they do need to have the right amount of sourness and equally right amount of sweetness. I guess that’s the trick and this cake has just that if you ask me! It’s a great simple cake to serve with your afternoon tea or coffee or even for breakfast when you are craving something different than oatmeal. 😉

Yogurt sweet fritters

February 8, 2021 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

I usually don’t eat fried food that often, quite rarely actually. If you’ve been following me here on the blog or my social media pages, you probably know already that I prefer eating healthy and that’s just the food I love and enjoy the most. Give me fresh fruit and vegetables in any form any day! But honestly sometimes there is really nothing better than fried dough sprinkled with sugar! 😀 And pasta. And chocolate of course. But let’s stick with fried dough on this occasion, more specifically yogurt sweet fritters. Because it’s February, because we made it through the whole year of global pandemic and because we deserve a little (actually a big!) treat.
