It also (kind of) rhymes! Honestly, these are so so easy to make (max 30 min prep time) but delicious.

The ingredients are:

• couscous
• zucchini
• cherry tomatoes
• olive oil
• pinch of salt
• parmisan cheese (not in the pic, I forgot :/)

For the couscous:
for how many grams of couscous you want to make, you need the same mls of water plus a tablespoon or two more. Usually I cook couscous in a pan with water (like rice) but I was feeling especially lazy today so I just poured it in a bowl, poured a tablespoon of oil and sprinkled some salt and mixed it up. Then I set some water up to boil in a tea boiler, poured it in the bowl until it covered the couscous and covered the bowl with a plate to keep it warm, letting the couscous absorb the water, for 2-3 mins.

Use this time to cut up your zucchinis and remove the pulp inside with a spoon (you can use it for soups, sauces, whatever).

Then cut up some cherry tomatoes and mix them up, if the couscous is a little dry feel free to add some oil or salt if you need it.


Messy part: stuffing.

Then sprinkle some parmisan over it to form that crunchy layer on top.

 Close up is needed:


Then pop into the oven at 190 degrees for 30 mins (until the zucchinis are cooked, because the couscous already is).











Voilà!

I get in this weird mood sometimes where I "just have to do" something. This morning, I just had to bake. Before I opened the fridge I mentally prayed I had all of the ingredients to bake chocolate chip cookies. Answer: no eggs, no butter, no dates (I kinda use them to substitute butter/sugar, squishing them so they form a sticky paste). Also, my brown sugar packet was practically empty. I decided to bake cookies anyways, mentally preparing for a disastrous outcome but amazingly (and I still can't believe it) they turned out all right first time! (tbh they are really really gooood). Here's what I used:

Ingredients (15-20 cookies):

• 1 1/2 cup of flour (I used chickpea flour, but all flours work fine)
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1 banana
• 100 g of chocolate
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey

After months and months of absence from the blog (exams and laziness being the major causes)... here's Croatia. Me and my friends rented a house for a week near Porec, which is 40 km from Trieste. It was a looong car trip from Milan, but I got to experience the best dawn ever on the way to Croatia (I have a thing for skies):

Finally crossed the border:

And first glimpse of Porec in the background:

Our house was in the countryside outside the city:
















We decided to go for aperitivo in a really fancy place called Valentino (imagine a group of 20 year-olds with flip flops and plastic mirror-lenses sunglasses), but thankfully in the end they let us in and oh. my. god. the view!



And the sunset (self-explanatory really):

The food we had for dinner was amazing as well, I got a simple salad with Istrian prosciutto and oranges and lemons...yum.


Croatia: 10/10!
