SUMMER!

Hi Smoothies,

Finally, I can proudly say that my exams are finished!
- Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey -
It was about time because I couldn't take these short nights of sleep anylonger!

Now summer holidays are taking off and the heath finally found this little country, all I want to do is putting together some funky summerstyles, making fresh and tasty summersalades, and having a night out in the city with my girlfriends. Within a 2 weeks I go to Spain for some earned relaxing! I can't wait to get my new bikini's on and take a jump in the pool.

I really like this Bikini. I found it on pinterest but unfortunately I can"t find where to buy it.

This is something I am definitely going to try this summer when the heath is becoming too much. Such a cool way to cool off.

I don't know what's your favorite in these temperatures but I love to light up the bbq and grill some fresh fish or meat  and serve it with a tasty an fresh summer salad. The quinoa salad with avocado and cilantro looks very delicious to me. So does the salsas!

 If it's a bit warmer, heavy food is a no go for me. I prefer light and fresh dishes. Another refreshing favorite of mine is a rocket ice lolly! On those moments I can't take the heath anymore, nothing is more refreshing than a rocket popsicle!

What is your favorite refreshment during summer months?

Would you like to see some summer salad recipes?

Tasty tuesday: Potatoe mash without the potatoes

cauliflower mash as an alternative for a traditional mash

Hello ladies,

Lately I found out the best trick to cut down the carbs but still having the taste of it. It's a cauliflower mash. Really, you barely notice the flavor of cauliflower (not that I don't like that at all) and it still has this creamy texture of a potato mash, it even tastes like you added butter or cream to it. So it's really YUM!

All you need is:
1 cauliflower
water
milk
salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste
fill a stew pan with half water half milk. Add the cauliflower in chunks (they can be big because you have to blend it afterwards anyway). cook it for about 10 minutes. Then drain all but a little of the liquid. This way I think the mash will be more moisten.
Mash the cauliflower until it's nice and smooth and add pepper, salt and nutmeg to taste.

Voila, you have your delicious and healthy alternative for a potato mash!
