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.

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes! I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses. Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ?? Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number . Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop . Other than the price.style or quality. Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important . The style look and what suits you are all things to consider . The UV protection is what really matters also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why? If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to consider . Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
