Cinnamon sugar blondies

November 11, 2016 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

Happy Friday everybody! I have something delicious for you today, Cinnamon sugar blondies! 😀

Any exciting plans for the weekend? I’ve been really busy this week and quite stressed too so it will be nice to just have a relaxing weekend with my family and lots of play time with my little niece and nephew. Hopefully Autumn will treat us with a couple of sunny and not too cold days so we can spend some time outside in the nature.  Some of my friends who live in Sweden have been posting magical photos of snow for the last few days and it made me miss “my” little town in the Swiss Alps where the snow blanket would cover the whole world and made it so peaceful and beautiful…

Honestly, I don’t think I will ever again live in a place so beautiful as those mountains! However, there were other problems and limitations living there but that’s a whole other story, as far as the peace & beauty goes nothing can compare… But let me get back to here and now! 🙂

Last week my recipes have been published few time on different sites and one of the most popular recipes was my Carob & apple bundt cake with chocolate ganache. You  can see it here on Journal.hr lifestyle magazine. It feels good to see my recipes and photos “out in the world” but the thing that makes me the most happy is when I get messages and emails from you my dear followers letting me know that you tried out some of my recipes and loved them or that you liked my photos, that makes my heart full of joy! <3 Therefore, just a reminder you can follow me on my Facebook page or Instagram too! 🙂

About these delicious blondies…

Firstly, me say few words about today’s recipe (finally, you may think!), these delicious blondies were one of the recipes I found online but in the original recipe they were made with butter and slightly different ingredients and their quantities so I made my own version with coconut oil and can I just say, they taste amazing!! Honestly, I couldn’t stop eating them, that good! The best part is that little crust made with sugar  cinnamon, you have to try these. And you know how 99% of my recipes are refined sugar-free, well this one isn’t as I used light brown sugar here. Finally, also freeze well so you can make a double batch and put some in the freezer ‘for later” or just eat them all, totally up to you! 😀

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is bec The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is because I’m busy working with the talented cookbook author @andreapisac photographing her new cookbook Croatian desserts vol 2 that features 50 authentic Croatian desserts! 😊✨✨✨
The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨

I shot for @poklisar_dubrovnik @dubrovnik_eats … Which one would you choose? 😍
