Oh how I love vacation. That always means time to try out new recipes and last time we were at my inlaws place again and prepared this absolutely delicious Lemon Chicken. Once again a quite simple recipe and more or less only one baking tray to prepare all at the same time!
Give it a try – see how to make here:
A delicious variation of the classical Italian Caprese – tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil leaves – Salad: with oven-baked Aubergines! It gives the whole salad a great additional flavor. A must-try!!

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!

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.

As mentioned in my last post, avocado pesto was just a must-try! And the combination with the fresh mozzarella and the dried tomatoes is an absolute delight! Hope you like it just as much as I do!

This is one of my favorite sauces for Ravioli. It’s simple and delicious. We often prepare this pasta dish in the summer in Italy, when we are there on vacation and I just can’t get enough of it. But it tastes just as well in Winter time. Believe me! My mother-in-law showed me how to prepare it!

Yay – the sun is out again!! But this classic tastes great all year long! A typical Italian – red, white and green – salad, which goes with just about anything. It’s simple, it’s delicious and you can serve in so many different styles. Plus ideal to keep the summer up a little longer!
If you prepare for a few people, I very much like to use cherry tomatoes and smaller sized mozzarella balls. And fresh basil of course. It looks very nice and is easy to serve.

Yay!! It’s this time of the year again and pumpkins are around allover! It’s so great that you can use them for all sorts of recipes – from pumpkin pie, pumkin soup or for a delicious pumpkin risotto! It’s a very nice addition to a drumstick or just by itself.
