Snack time

Let's take a moment and have some snack time. Who doesn't like snacks? Crisp chips, sweet crunchy and melt-in-the-mouth biscuits, chocolate, amongst others. I love my snacks and I always have many snacks on hand, which is, I know, a bad habit. Like the saying goes, though, you live only once, so why not? I love snacking on chips and chocolate. They have recently introduced sweet potato chips and I am seriously enjoying them far too much. Otherwise I am really into matcha sweet. There is something so special about green tea flavour. Also, popcorn has become the 'new' snack it seems. I mean they are quite nice. These are recent snack findings. I find it so funny how some brand always come with new flavours. I mean what's not to like, but some taste really bad or strange. Anyway keep snacking. #smallpleasuresoflife

These roll cookies are crisp, light and very addictive. 

Matcha goodies- chocolate and cookies- YUM

Sweet potato chips and chia crisps - all super nice

New flavours of the month:


Magnum with amaretto- I love the icecream flavour, but the chocolate coating was too thin to my liking

Throwback Thursday

It's officially Spring! I cannot believe the last time I posted, we were in the middle of Winter. Rest assure, it is still cold, but I can feel the warmth coming along. I have been so busy- literally speaking. The good thing though is I have been managing quite well with everything (not including posting ;p). I'm so glad we made it through winter. I did get a sore throat last week, but it is easing up. I was so happy of not catching a cold and bam. I had plenty of honey and ginger tea. Yes, I am a ginger convert. 
Since I have been overwhelmed with work and what not, I have not been cooking a lot. I tried baking pork meatballs or had my hand a vegetable pickling- easy process. Other than that, I have started pastry classes and learning a few tricks here and there. 

As per usual, these are few snaps of meals I cooked last month.
Pan-fried salmon with minty pea puree and roasted cherry tomatoes

Steak with sweet potato and salad

Chunky vegetable and bean soup
Steak, polenta, asparagus and sweet potato chips
Steak with mushroom, sauteed spinach, sweet potato and garlic bread

Vegetable pickling:
Carrot, white and purple cabbage and red radish.
