Strawberry season!

That was one of those sunny days...

I just knew that I would eat strawberries with cream at some point...

Probably not alone!...

Later drank cup of coffee...

...and thought about my summer plans which I had to postpone....

At the moment I can forget about the diet...anyway you will not see me in a bikini this year...

Finely, after eating so many homemade strawberry napoleons I have to admit that my summertime sadness disappeared...

Kisses to all of you,

enjoy the summer while it lasts!

A week in pictures...

I bought flowers yesterday. They always make me feel better...

It has been a while since J* cooked anything at home. When he finally did it tasted so good that I forgave him.

Pan fried sea bass on a bed of frizze lettuce and boiled egg.

It was easy for J* to make this dish at home,because they serve it at the restaurant he is currently working.

Image by lola

The dish is very light ...and fresh...and it is topped with vierge dressing.

Image by lola

Vierge dressing goes particularly well with fish and is easy to make at home. All you need is :

freshly squeezed lemon

1 finely chopped shallot

chopped parsley

2 chopped tomatoes without seeds

about 50ml of olive oil

pepper, salt,

1 garlic clove

mix all ingredients together, pour on the fish when is ready.

While I was eating I was thinking about our little trip to the village few days ago...we went to see

the boats...

It was late afternoon when I took those pictures... the sun was setting...

That was my few moments I enjoyed last week.

Have a nice day...

Aubergines

I'm eating more and more vegetarian food lately and really enjoy.I was a vegetarian in the past, however stopped at some point.I eat fish sometimes but still like vegetarian dishes a lot and recommend eating vegetables to anybody.This is a very simple Mediterranean dish, anybody can do at home.It tastes delicious and takes about 30 min to prepare. All you need is:

2 aubergines
2 onions
3 peppers, yellow, green and red
1 grilled potato
small jar of capers
few chopped olives green or black
fresh parsley
feta cheese
fresh lemon to taste
salt, black pepper,oregano

Greek style aubergines with feta cheese

Image by lolassecretwardrobe

Cut the aubergine half along it's length, and scoop out the flesh and chop it finely.Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake half's aubergines with olive oil for about 20 min.Saute chopped aubergines flesh,onions, potatoes, peppers,olives, capers.Add some spices.Next stuff half's aubergines with vegetable mix and crumble feta cheese on top.Bake for another 10 min in the oven.When it's ready squeeze some lemon juice.

Enjoy.

Lola says...Cheese!

I love any type of cheese but my favorite one is Stilton. I know that some people hate it but I eat it all the time and always have some in my fridge.This time I ate it together with Camembert and home made cranberry sauce with fresh parsley accompanied with some granary baguettes. Heaven in my mouth.

Rosemary bread

Image by lolassecretwardrobe

Italian people would call it "Focaccia al rosmarino", but I call it "rosemary bread"...sounds good too... and taste the same. This rosemary bread is a bit different because J added some sun dried tomatoes and artichoke, which I adore.You should definitely try to bake it for Christmas, it really tastes delicious and also brings a lovely smell to the kitchen. You will find a good recipe in "The Italian cookery course" book by Katie Caldesi.

Believe me, it is a very simple dish you can make at home with a little bit of imagination and patience. But don't ask me how it is done because I didn't make it ...It was J ~~again ha ha~~.I'm lucky he is a chef...I can only tell you how to make a good salsa -verde.

Here is the recipe:
