New year's resolution

A new year is coming and i came to a resolution. I should really stop stressing about what to do next with my life, the world is my oyster after all! Need to get more excited about all the different options in my life instead of worrying about which one is the right one... after all i am still young and doe i have a big responsability in my sholders i know i can do it :) 2013 is going to be MY year!

Dear Santa...

Pancakes? Easy peasy

I'm the baker of the family. Not because i am master but because i love to eat and so i bake as often as i can. On of my specialities are pancakes, they are not very thick nor very thin so everyone loves them! And they are soooo easy to make and they are my favourite before bed snack (i know, bad girl!!!)

Here is the recipe:
One table spoon of sugar
One cup of flour
One medium egg
And about 2 table spoons of butter ( i use salted, it gives them a nice crispy salty flavour)




























You will also need a fork to mix
A non sticking frying pan
A spatula
And a tall recipient to mix everything together. ( i use an old soup container as i can just pour directly from there to the frying pan)




Start by mixing the eggs with the sugar and then pour some milk and some flour, intercalating until they are all mixed together. Be careful and don't leave any lumps.

Turn your stove at medium gas and put about a coffee spoon of butter in the pan. When is melted pour about a soup ladle of the mix, spreading it evenly. Wait until is lightly golden and turn. Repeat until you run out of mixture ( about 6 pancakes, depending on the size of your pan)

They are ready to eat :)



My favourite part is topping them, i normally have mine with sliced bananas and nuttela our caster sugar and cinnamon but options are endless!


Tips: you can reheat them in the mornibg, just put them in the microwave for about 1 minute
Kids love to help in the kitchen, so let them mix with you.
Like them a bit thicker? Use self raise flour
Like them more like crepes? Use more milk and leave the sugar out.0
Wanna impress with desert ? Use ice cream and fresh fruits

Bon appetit :)

I have been obsessing over this ring for ages, and now i have my own !!!I know the whole idea of It is to be given as an engagement ring but who cares ? Im just super in love with it right now. Perfect christmas present from me to me :)

Pandora obsession

My first encounter with Pandora jewellery was 4 years ago, it was my BF birthday and i didn't know what to get (what do you give to a girl that has everything?!) i wanted something with meaning for both and that wouldn't be just another gift to her.She had a Pandora so i bought her a charm she wanted.A couple of years ago the girls gave me one for mothers day and i just fell in love with it! We always exchange charms for xmas and birthdays but i confess i've cheated a couple of times and bought them for my self! This xmas i have my eyes on a few, and doe my friends know me well i will not leave it to chance and i already did my wish list on the Pandora web site ! Aren't the addictive?!

World prematurity day

Today is world prematuraty day, the special day were we should all raise awerness to this huge problem world wide. Every year, around 15 millions babies are born before time and 1.1 millions dies. There are many reasons why babies come before time and most of them are treatable. Hence why i feel like there is the need to raise more and more awareness to this matter. My daughter came to the world 10 weeks premature and under weight, with only 1700kg and dropping to 1500kg she was in hospital for her first month of life. The hardest of my life! Only when you go trough it you know how bad it is to leave hospital every evening and having to leave my baby alone. Is anti-natural and no mother should have to go trough it. So raise awareness, and if your pregnant check with your doctor, midwife our nurse the signs as most times they are there!
