We were in beautiful Italy a last week and in a small restaurant in Camaiore I was introduced to ‘Salsissia Prociutella’ – a funny sausage that was prepared in a pasta sauce. I immediately fell in love and prepared my own version at home…in memory of our vacation!

Shortly I was on a trip, coming home and at the airport I stumbled over a salad with chicken nuggets. Instantly I had a major craving for this, but – typical airport – they priced the salad super high and I just thought to myself: Oh well, then I know what’s on my menu the next week! And here we are! And I wanted to make a slightly different version of the chicken nuggets and prepared them with oatmeal-breading instead or “normal” breading. Well actually I did both! Haha!

A very close friend and I made these funny little doughy dumplings lately. Fairly quick and fun to make and you have the healthy bit – the spinach – included already. But instead of making the gnocchi with potatoes the traditional way, we prepared them with ricotta! The lemon dressing is delicious and gives the gnocchi a very fresh and light flavor.

It’s cake time! But you want a fresh alternative, with the temperatures rising and slowly but steadily turning into Spring / Summer time! This is an ideal cake that is moist and stays fresh for a few days. I really like it a lot!

I had this salad at a close friends place a few years ago and it is just so deliciously easy to prepare, that I made my own version here. Plus the good thing is, you can have both in the house and can prepare if you get spontaneous guests, as feta has a really long-lasting expiration date. Give it a try! Ideal also for a BBQ – the season is coming!
