Plum smoothie bowl (vegan, GF)

September 13, 2017 By travellingoven 6 Comments

I hope you don’t mind another plum recipe! The last one was so simple but so delicious Vanilla and cinnamon roasted plums served with coconut yogurt and today’s recipe is even more simple but that won’t stop me from posting. Maybe some of you didn’t think of making smoothie bowl using plums and believe me, you should as it’s so good! And makes a perfect healthy breakfast too! I’ve been all into cooking/baking/eating with seasonal ingredients and I truly believe it’s the best way to eat and use what the nature gives us. So I have a feeling after all these gorgeous plums my inspiration will go in direction of apples, pears, chocolate (because any season is right for chocolate!) and possibly some savoury recipes too. What would you like to see more on the blog? Please feel free to leave a comment as your opinion means a lot to me and in the end I am making and posting all these recipes for you to try and enjoy! 🙂

Vanilla and cinnamon roasted plums (vegan, GF)

September 6, 2017 By travellingoven 4 Comments

It’s been a week since I came back home after being away for most of the Summer, combining rest and work in my hometown Dubrovnik. Even if I didn’t post much here on the blog, I was very active on my social media accounts, specially my Instagram and you got to see some of the things I was doing and a lot of photos of beautiful Adriatic sea, Dubrovnik Old Town and surroundings. I still have some travel blog posts to share but need to wait a bit as they were made as part of certain collaboration so they need to be published there first. In the meantime, I’m hoping to be more active in my kitchen now that the colder days are coming and I’m really excited about this Autumn and planning to enjoy all the little things that bring joy! Like beautiful apples and apple desserts, nature turning all shades of red & yellow, chestnuts, cozy rainy evenings, trips I’m planning to take, baking and so much more. Remember, it’s the little things in life that matter the most! 🙂

Creamy cucumber soup (vegan, GF)

I know, I know, I haven’t been posting much here on the blog this Summer but don’t think that I took the whole Summer off! 😀 I’ve been working on various projects, photographing, editing like crazy, I’ve been pretty active on my social media accounts but of course I also took some time off to enjoy the time with my family and friends here in my hometown Dubrovnik. I also enjoyed my mum’s food and haven’t been cooking much but I did bake few cakes (this Apricot yogurt cake both with apricots and other time with peaches, this delicious Grape & olive oil cake with almonds and also this amazing Brown butter plum upside down cake), baked cookies few time (these Oats, chocolate & cranberries cookies were a big hit with my family!) and made countless refreshing smoothie bowl and banana ice creams! 🙂

Hidden treasures of Dubrovnik surroundings

August 15, 2017 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I’m sure all of you who visited or heard of Dubrovnik know that it’s a beautiful town and it offers so much in terms of beauty, culture, history, fun and pleasure to all of its visitors. But for all those who are visiting, staying a little bit longer and have some time to explore Dubrovnik surroundings there is so much to be seen and discovered there too!

‘Dubrovacko Primorje’ is the region west of Dubrovnik with many little settlements and villages, some of them by the sea in picturesque little bays that shelter from strong winds and are perfect for a relaxing walk with ice cream in your hand or sitting in a small coffee shop or restaurant with delicious sea food while enjoying the stunning sea views. Others are called upper villages and they are situated on the hills above the sea level and a bit hidden from the usual paths, known mostly to locals who live there or have their family houses to spend weekends and holidays.
