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!).

Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so every day I've been drinking lemonade made with organic lemons from my parents' garden and sweetened with honey. What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨

When I think of my happy place, I visualize this.. When I think of my happy place, I visualize this... mountains, nature, snow in winter, green meadows and forests in summer, house like this (it can be smaller I’m ok with that 😅), fireplace... How about you, how does a happy place from your imagination looks like? 
Reality is nice and cozy too, going to have a slice of cake and a glass of milk now and watch a movie. Have a nice Saturday evening everyone! 🤗

Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 T Each day I find a thing to be grateful for. 😊 Today it was a beautiful cold and sunny morning, a long walk in the park with a friend talking about life. There is something that I noticed about myself lately, a shift within me, a change in a way I live and feel. The more I focus my gratitude on small moments, the more I feel at peace. The more I accept that not everything happens the way I would want to, the more I’m happy with what I have. Two years ago when life circumstances were actually much better for me in terms of work, socializing, opportunities for fun and travel, I was fighting depression, horrible anxiety, panic attacks, PTSP... Today when life is more challenging on every level, I feel more like myself again, stronger and hopeful. Sure bad day happens but that’s normal and that’s ok. It only shows how much we can do for ourselves with hard work, therapy, introspection, taking small steps each day... Sharing this in case somebody needs a bit of encouragement.❤️

Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m Some of the things that lift my spirit when I’m down: thick rich dark hot chocolate, good music, candles, writing down in my journal dreams - big and small, no matter how unrealistic they may seem at the moment... 😊 One thing that I’m grateful for is that no matter how difficult the circumstances, I can always daydream and imagine beautiful exciting things, places and experiences. Sometimes all we need is a bit of hope and imagination...✨
