Recipe of June: Salads
This month was all about salads, which you could notice if you follow me on Pinterest. I tried not to upload my every meal on Instagram but a few did end up there #SorryNotSorry.
My favourite kind was with lettuce as a base, tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumbers, some kind of seeds and cheese and mushrooms, grilled chicken or salmon. Usually with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
But there are so many variants and so many on my to-cook list. So, please, if you

Recipe Of The Month: September 2014
I wanted to try this recipe for months, if not years. And I am not being dramatic here 😉
People were raving about it, and I was always afraid that I may not like it, but little did I know. It is as good, as everyone says it is. So what salad am I talking about? The already cult watermelon and feta one. I have seen quite a few variations but decided to try the basic one:

So, what do you need for it?
Recipe Of August: Summer Tarts
If you follow me on Instagram you already saw the photo of the tart I made the other day. It was inspired by Liberty London Girl originally but I always make my own variants, and I have tried a lot, and they all were very good.
It is a crowd pleaser, and it is extremely easy to make,easier than pizza.
