Roasted plums and yogurt dessert

August 26, 2020 By travellingoven 3 Comments

And just like that, Summer is slowly coming to an end… I thought to end this month of August with incredibly easy to make and super tasty sweet treat, Roasted plums and yogurt dessert! But first I would love to hear from you! How was your Summer, have you had an opportunity to rest and relax, get away from all the stress we all have been through in the last 6 months?

How I spent my Summer…

I spent about a month in my hometown Dubrovnik with my family, trying to switch off as much as possible and de-stress focusing on present moment and little everyday things. I did some shoots for a client but mostly I spent my days reading, enjoying long evening walks, going to the beach with my sister, niece and nephew… Sometimes my mum would join us too so that was really nice! Specially because she had a hip replacement surgery just before this pandemic hit us so it was so lovely to see her walking again and being pain-free.

Spending time with my loved ones and not thinking about what tomorrow will look like, that was just what I needed after the stressful period of lock down, earthquake in Zagreb, having jobs cancelled due to pandemic etc… But I don’t want to ‘talk’ about that now, let’s focus on the positive and all that we can do to help us go through these challenging times the best we can.

My ways of dealing with stress and anxiety…

I’m sure all of you have your ways of dealing with stress and uncertainty. But let me just share some of mine:

  • being present ‘here and now’, focusing on the moment and not thinking too much about the future
  • finding pleasure in simple everyday things like having a cup of coffee and watching the clouds or going for a walk and feeling the fresh breeze on my face
  • when I start to feel down, anxious and ‘heavy’, it helps me to not fight those feelings but accept them and keep telling myself they will pass as they did many times before
  • talking about what burdens me with the people I love and trust, it’s such a wonderful thing to know that you can say anything about what you feel without being judged!
  • giving myself credit for all the difficult things I went through in the past and for still managing to keep my joy and excitement for life, for little pleasures, for beauty around…

Ok, I think that’s it for now and we can start talking about desserts! 😀  I hope you find these little tips helpful and if you want to chat about it you can always leave me a comment or write me an email. I’m here for you!

The most simple and yet so tasty dessert…

Have you tried roasted plums yet? If you haven’t, you simply have to, trust me! In case of plums, roasting them makes them so much better and tastier, in my humble opinion. Specially when they are roasted with spices like cinnamon and vanilla and sweetened with coconut or brown sugar. I already have a recipe for roasted plums on the blog, you can find it here!

This recipe couldn’t be easier and I’m not sure if we can even call it a recipe. That’s how simple it is! For that reason, don’t focus on quantities as you can adjust them depending on how many portions you are making. Also you can adjust as per your taste, more yogurt or less yogurt, sweeter yogurt or less sweet and so on…

I made it for my family (7 portions) this Summer and everybody loved it.. Well, I had to adjust it for my little nephew who is very particular about eating fruit so I made him a special version with cocoa and more crushed cookies instead of plums, not bad either! 😀 So, the recipe will be for two portions but as I said, feel free to adjust it as you wish…

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...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅
By the way, only when I started editing I noticed that the bubbles in my hot chocolate formed a shape of heart too. That's kind of sweet..☺️ So I'm sending some love to all of you too! ❤️

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
