Chocolate crinkle cookies

December 17, 2018 By travellingoven 6 Comments

My blog has lately been more about photography and travel stories and less about recipes and that is actually how I’ve always wanted it to be so I’m hoping to continue in that direction. My wish was always to have a place where I can share my photography and combine two things that I spend most time shooting, food & travel. Food is always an essential part of travelling so all my travel stories have some food in there too. Those who follow me here on my blog for a while now and also on my social media accounts know already that my main focus is photography and not recipes but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be an occasional recipe posted here on the blog.

I would like to keep this as my little corner of internet where you can come if you enjoy food & travel photography, want to be inspired for your possible next journey, want to learn more about food photography and if you like to try out simple recipes often with healthier ingredients. As those are all the things I am passionate about and what my ‘Travelling oven’ is all about. Also, you can always write to me to tell me what would you like to see more of on the blog as your opinion is so very important to me. I’m so happy to have you here with me! Don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter (on the right side where it says ‘subscribe’ as next year I will be sharing more interesting stuff that you don’t want to miss!). And now let’s talk cookies! 🙂

I don’t think I was ever before so unprepared for Christmas and all that comes with it as this year. How about you, do you have everything under control? It’s just that life has been a bit crazy for me lately and I have been dealing with so many things and problems that before I realised, December was already here, people were getting into Christmas mood, decorations, lights, cookies baking, buying presents and so on and on… For a moment I went into a true panic mode but then I thought about everything, took a deep breath and decided that I won’t allow the panic to take over. That the world will still go on and the life will not stop if this year I’m not as prepared as I usually am, if I’m not in the mood for so much baking and if I just want to really slow down in the time of the year when usually everybody speed up.

It’s so important to accept that we don’t have to be perfect, that there are no rules that say we should feel a certain way and that we should alway listen to ourselves, that tiny voice that whispers what we actually want to feel and do and not what we think is expected from us. So the moment I accepted all that, it’s like the burden lifted and I started to feel so much better. Removing the pressure resulted in me actually having more energy to do things and I started creating, working on some Christmas styling and photography and yes, I even baked some cookies! 😀 These Chocolate crinkle cookies are a bit healthier version as I used spelt flour, coconut sugar and coconut oil instead of butter. Of course I’ll have some traditional buttery cookies and other sweet treats for holidays too but when I can make something healthier and it still tastes delicious, why not!? Here you can find more simple Christmas inspired recipes…

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?

This photo pretty much sums up how I'm spending th This photo pretty much sums up how I'm spending this winter and by that I don't mean literally that I'm just sitting on my sofa eating cookies! 😅 It's more about staying warm and cozy, focusing as much as I can on the positive, little pleasures, daily rituals, making myself feel good and safe, daydreaming about all the beautiful things that are yet to come...☺

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...😅

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.✨
