Since I was about 8 years old I had therapy for my back. I did this until I was 13 -14 years old. I should have kept up with it, but you know being a teenager doesn’t really help. If I knew back then how much it would help me later in life, I maybe … Continue reading Dealing with back pain

A night out in your 40’s
A short post today as I felt a bit uninspired the last couple of days and I’m writing this with a terrible headache. Oh, how you’ve got to love getting older. It seemed not that long ago when I could go out, enjoy a few drinks and still be fine the next day. Well, not … Continue reading A night out in your 40’s
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)
My journey on becoming a vegetarian – part 3
Becoming a vegetarian is not always easy. That’s why I want to take you on our journey and share our experiences, our struggles and even some recipes with you. It has been almost 3 months since we started this journey, and I have to be honest by saying that in the last month, I’ve been … Continue reading My journey on becoming a vegetarian – part 3
IBS
Ever since I can remember I’ve been having stomach cramps on and off and feeling nauseous. Not too long ago I had a flashback to when I was younger. I saw myself, in the middle of the night in the hallway, curled up on my knees, trying to make the pain go away. This position … Continue reading IBS
Leftover veggie lasagne (including recipe)
A short post today as I am going to share a new recipe. To be honest, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to post it, but Paul insisted that I did. I made this dish on a Sunday, because at the end of the week there are always some leftover veggies in our fridge, … Continue reading Leftover veggie lasagne (including recipe)
My journey on becoming a vegetarian – Part 2
Over a month in, and we are doing surprisingly well! I haven’t thought about meat or missed it at all. I never really cared for fish, so I knew that one was easy! I expected Paul to struggle a bit more (he really loves bacon and fish), but he is also doing very well. I … Continue reading My journey on becoming a vegetarian – Part 2
Sweet potato lentil soup (including recipe)
Time for another recipe! One based on sweet potato. I am not the biggest fan of sweet potato, but Paul bought it, so I am slowly getting used to it. There is just something about warm sweet food for dinner that I can’t really digest very well, unless it's cake!!! Yum!! As you know I … Continue reading Sweet potato lentil soup (including recipe)
My roasted tomato soup
A short post today, as I am going to share a recipe for tomato soup with you! As a child I didn’t really like soup. I mean, we ate soup, but it was never my favorite meal. It felt like it wasn’t a ‘real’ meal. I like hearty meals. That is probably why my father’s … Continue reading My roasted tomato soup
More oat cookies! (including recipe)
It is time for another baking adventure! I don’t know what it is with baking, but I always feel like I’ve achieved something. It’s not the same as when I've cooked something. Baking is more precise. If you get the measurements wrong, the whole recipe could fail! Which happened to me plenty of times! This … Continue reading More oat cookies! (including recipe)
