It’s still really fun cooking vegetarian food, but sometimes it can be a bit challenging to come up with new ideas. Back in the Netherlands we ate couscous regularly, and loved it. It’s just something different than potatoes, pasta or soup. It has been almost 3 years since we’ve had couscous, so I bought a … Continue reading Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)

Pasta and broccoli salad with tahini dressing (including recipe)
Last week we moved from Niš to Skopje. It’s good to be back. Strange how a different country can feel like ‘home’, because that’s how Skopje feels to us. We were already quite lucky with the weather in Niš, and when we arrived in Skopje, the weather was also beautiful! Warm, sunny, and about 24 … Continue reading Pasta and broccoli salad with tahini dressing (including recipe)

It’s my round!
Today is Paul’s birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better post to write than this one! I do not drink a lot of alcohol, because I don’t like how it makes me feel, but every now and then I do enjoy drinking a special beer. My first introduction to craft beer was in 2014. … Continue reading It’s my round!
Support the locals
Whenever we go to a new country or city we love to explore! The motto we live by is ‘pay it forward’, for traveling this means that we want to support local businesses when we visit a new city. We always try to go local. In the first weeks we find a few places we … Continue reading Support the locals
