Sour cherries strudel

May 13, 2020 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Anybody in the mood for Sour cherries strudel with yogurt and semolina filling? I know I am, always! 🙂 But I can’t just start writing the recipe without mentioning these last few months. So much has changed in these three months since the last time I posted anything new on the blog.

Basically, the world has changed and now everybody’s talking about the new normal. My last post was in February when we still didn’t fully realise what is waiting for all of us in the weeks to come. I spent that month in Dubrovnik for some family reasons and for few photoshoots I had booked and had all nicely planned out for how my life is going to look like from March on as I had jobs booked, trips planned, exciting travels confirmed. It just goes to show that sometimes life simply cannot be planned out…

Literally the moment I came back the hell broke loose and well, you all know what happened then… Pandemic stopped all (or most of) our plans, hopes, dreams, jobs and we had to adjust and accept the magnitude and gravity of it all. And we did… because that’s what we humans are capable of, that and so much more. We are all dealing with this new situation in our own way and I’m not here to say one way is better than other.

Handling lockdown and ‘new normal’ my way

For instance,  way of handling being on my own during about two months of lockdown was having a daily routine, keeping my mind as much as possible in the moment and not let it drift away to ‘what do future holds’ or ‘why did this had to happen’ thoughts, focusing on ‘little’ things like going on daily walks, eating healthy but also having sweet treats and comfort food when I needed them, immerse myself in photography and creative process just for me, as a sort of healing. In addition to that, I also did more cooking than usual, reading (but only after a while because for the first few weeks I couldn’t focus) and talking / chatting with family and friends and I was also very active on my social media channels which helped me feeling more connected… How did you (and still are…) cope with all the stress and everything? I hope you are all well and have your little ways and joys to stay sane through all of this! Because now more than ever we need to think of our mental health and release all the pressure we put on ourselves, focusing on self-care and little pleasures.

Sour cherries strudel with yogurt and semolina filling

Talking about pleasures…how about a slice of this delicious Sour cherries strudel with a cup of coffee? 🙂 And this recipe couldn’t be more simple and within an hour you’ll have a great dessert for your family (or just for yourself!).

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Simple life moment in one of my favourite Summer p Simple life moment in one of my favourite Summer photos for this first day of Summer. 🧡 I'll find my joy in juicy fruit, melting ice cream, cold drinks, bare feet, sea salt on my skin, stillness of early mornings before the heat and gentle breeze in the evenings.. and more of those little ordinary but precious moments of life.

When you have your own business there are times wh When you have your own business there are times when you don’t have weekends, you don’t have days off, no holidays, when you need to keep going even if you’re going through something difficult and just want to stay in bed… And it’s not always easy. There are also times, specially in the first years, when you don’t know if you are going to make it, if you will earn enough to support yourself, if you will be ‘good enough’… But I wouldn’t change all that for anything because doing what you love is incredibly rewarding and I love photography with all my heart and soul. 
It saved me more than once. It keeps saving me, helps me express myself and what I feel, it gave me back my confidence and a purpose when I nearly lost it. It was the best decision of my life (well, the one of getting a divorce and get out of a really bad marriage is there somewhere too 😅) to take that new path in my late 30s and start all over again… It’s never too late. ❤️
