I totally fell in love with steamed veggies – both the clean taste and the reduced preparation time. So this is the best side dish I can prepare when I don’t have much time for cooking. And what could go better than a grilled white meat with a greek yogurt […]

Eggplant & bell pepper spread
To be honest, I enjoyed so much our traditional roasted eggplant & mayo salad that I had to try a healthier version and exclude the mayonnaise from this ‘picture’. And since I always roast bell peppers every time I roast eggplants for winter (I store them in the freezer), I […]

I love the cherry tomatoes, specially the multicolored ones. They provide different taste nuances and […]
