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.

These Maple roasted pears with cinnamon and vanilla spices make a cozy, delicious and comforting healthy dessert for any occasion! I love serving them with Greek yogurt, pomegranate seeds, almond flakes and an extra drizzle of maple syrup, heaven…

I love these kind of easy, simple and healthier desserts but I guess you already know that if you’ve been visiting my blog in recent years. All the recipes here on the blog are simple and easy to make.

Roasted plums and yogurt dessert

August 26, 2020 By travellingoven 4 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.
