SIMPLE EASY DISHES from around the WORLD

It seems everywhere people have become avid bakers , trying new recipes. As a recent study has shown people are baking a lot more since the lockdown - me included. The search results for
banana loaf recipes has been one of the most popular. I have made a few once the bananas are over ripe and not so tasty. Another one i have made is a lemon loaf, which is a favourite for the tanginess

So have you been trying any new recipes?
I have pinned so many interesting recipes to try, but in most cases don't have all the different spices or ingredients. So have to improvise at times. I like simple, no fuss recipes with few ingredients.

FRENCH STYLE DISH
One simple recipe my mom use to make is rice pudding, was a staple for her , and surprisingly enough it is also a loved recipe in France too- RIZ du Lait . I do like the taste of it , especially with cinnamon and raisins and its so simple to make. Great way to use up the leftover rice.

The easy way to make it is in a slow cooker that way it doesn't burn if making it from scratch.
The recipe to make the French way.

NOW to ITALY
Another thing is pasta, I have a thing for the Italian food, especially tomatoey dishes.
The Italian have a love for a very simple pasta dish that includes a special grated cheese, pepper and pasta. Again so simple with few ingredients and I am sure a tasty dish.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
