Knedlje from Croatia (plum filled)

Is this a dessert or a savoury delicacy? Well it’s up to you to decide! My mom’s friend, Zorica made these delectable delights yesterday at her home. She called me and asked me to come over to try a few. To my utter delight, I was blessed with delicious tasting Croatian morsels of knedlje!

These can be a dessert if you drizzle organic maple syrup all over them. Zorica liked putting organic cane crystals on top. She showed me a more savoury way of eating them too. She put a dollop of sour cream on top with the maple syrup which gave it a sweet and savoury taste.

Mango Cake with Passion Fruit Cream

This piece of cake was given to me.  The mango pieces and syrup and passion fruit cream was also given to me. So I cut the cake into a square then drizzled the mango pieces and syrup on top of the cake. Then I carefully put a dollop of passion fruit cream on top. Then another friend suggested a garnish of mint! So needless to say this was a community effort well worth it. My favourite part,the scrumptious passion fruit cream is beyond words..

Spinach Apple Chia Smoothie

Breakfast could not look greener! Think green! Green rules for breakfast! All you need is two handfuls of spinach, 1 apple, cored and 1 tablespoon ground chia. Place it in the blender and add water to cover. Mix until smooth. Some days I add a teaspoon of honey!
