Prawns & smoked salmon appetizers

December 14, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

So there are exactly 10 days left till Christmas Eve! Time really goes by too fast and this December is just flying, there is still so much to plan and so much to do. But step by step all will be done and even if we don’t manage to do all as planned (more or less that happens every year!) it’s still ok and it’s all good. We need to remember what is the most important, spending time with our loved ones, spreading love, positive energy, prayer and enjoying all the little things that we do this time of the year. Like baking cookies, listening to Christmas music, watching those lovely Christmas movies, having a cup of coffee or hot chocolate with a friend, sharing a meal… I still have few cookies recipes to share that would be perfect for holidays but first I wanted to share this idea for an appetizers or just as finger food if you are organizing a gathering with friends or family. This one is for those who eat fish as both suggestions are with sea food. I personally love it and I hope you do too! 🙂

They are so easy to make but they look festive and really cool, would be perfect also for New Year’s Eve! You need few fresh good ingredients and just a bit of time to put them together, could’t be easier. On a side note, how is the weather in your part of the world? Any global warming signs? :/ Here in the Swiss Alps it’s really unbelievable that we still don’t have any snow!? That’s so terrible for the winter season and all the tourists that come here for the skiing and snow, I hope that this will change soon and that we will have that White Christmas! I mean, if not here on this altitude of almost 2000 m, than where?
Let’s go back to our delicious appetizers. You need some of these…




…to make these!!! 🙂

I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted t I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted to say hello! 😊 My Summer has been a combination of precious time with family and friends, swimming in the mornings on ‘my beach’ in Dubrovnik, some interesting shoots, ice creams and watermelon, mum’s delicious food, reading books on my favourite terrace in the world, laughing with my niece and nephew until my stomach hurts from laughter and many other ‘ordinary’ beautiful moments. Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️

Before I post on the blog a travel story from my t Before I post on the blog a travel story from my trip to Tuscany and its charming towns, here are some images from one of my favourite, San Quirico d’Orcia. I liked it even more because it was raining and the mood was just so special and beautiful! 
☺️🌧️
This trip was all about smaller towns so we didn’t even go to Florence on this occasion but we visited 12 towns in 5 days and I can’t wait to share with you my favourite photos from the trip! ❤️
