Vanilla and cinnamon roasted plums (vegan, GF)

September 6, 2017 By travellingoven 4 Comments

This recipe for Vanilla and cinnamon roasted plums is even too simple to call it a recipe but I have to share it as it’s so delicious!

On another note, it’s been a week since I came back home after being away for most of the Summer, combining rest and work in my hometown Dubrovnik. Even if I didn’t post much here on the blog, I was very active on my social media, Facebook and Instagram where you got to see some of the things I was doing and a lot of photos of beautiful Adriatic sea, Dubrovnik Old Town and surroundings.

I still have some travel blog posts to share but need to wait a bit as they were made as part of certain collaboration so they need to be published there first. In the meantime, I’m hoping to be more active in my kitchen now that the colder days are coming and I’m really excited about this Autumn and planning to enjoy all the little things that bring joy! Like beautiful apples and apple desserts, nature turning all shades of red & yellow, chestnuts, cozy rainy evenings, trips I’m planning to take, baking and so much more. Remember, it’s the little things in life that matter the most! 🙂

Are you looking forward to Autumn and all that it brings? I loved being home with my family this Summer and of course as always I loved the sea, the beach and ice creams but I really, really didn’t like the heat we had for the last 3 months! It got me so tired and even physically unwell on some days that I just wanted it to end and was dreaming of cooler days and nights.

And now that I’m back in Zagreb you can feel the change happening, temperatures are lower, nights much cooler, a little blanket is needed when you curl up on the sofa in the evenings and all this makes me happy! Is that weird? Hope not! 😀 Anyway, let’s go back to food!

You know already how I like to cook/bake seasonal and whenever I can using the produce that is in season. End of Summer is always when beautiful plums are in season and people are cooking jams, making plums desserts or eating them just as they are, sweet and juicy. I thought to share something very simple but so so good, these Vanilla and cinnamon roasted plums make such a quick and delicious dessert and a little treat. The spices I used make all the difference and besides that they will make these roasted plums taste ‘melt in your mouth’ amazing, they will also make your house smell heavenly and that’s always a good things! Hope you’ll give them a try and use some of those gorgeous plums…

There is one little news with my blog posts and that is that from now on all my recipes will include both English and Croatian version! So the blog posts will still be in English because my readers are international but because I have a lot of Croatian readers as well I think this will make it much easier for them to follow the recipes and hopefully be helpful! Please let me know what you think, I love hearing from you and want to make sure that the whole process of making my recipes is as easier as possible for all of you! Also, over the time I will do my best to update all published recipes so that they have Croatian version too, I actually already started doing it but with over 150 recipe it will take a bit of time…

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
