I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had the best Christmas, because this year was a special one. We are currently living in Spain where Paul's parents also live.

Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)

10 December 2022 / Renee / 1 Comment

Lately I've been craving pepernoten and other Dutch treats, like licorice. It probably has everything to do with the arrival of my mother next week, and my best friend in January. I miss home sometimes. Not living there, but my family, friends and Dutch food/snacks). Pepernoten are actually very similar to ginger cookies (according to … Continue reading Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)

This was our second time around in Belgrade and it was so much more fun than the first time. Okay, the first time we were there during lockdown, so we didn’t really have a lot of opportunity to explore this amazing city. This time we did!! Craft beers Where do I start?!

I’m back!! I know it has been a while since I wrote something. To be honest, I simply didn’t feel inspired to write. Sometimes life can get really busy and it’s important to know when to hit the ‘pause’ button. So that’s exactly what I did. At least for my blog. In the meantime, Paul … Continue reading My hearty ‘Bolognese’ pasta (including recipe)

Summer in Vlora

22 August 202222 August 2022 / Renee / 2 Comments

We are so lucky with the life we lead. This year, we spent the full Summer in Vlora, Albania. I didn’t really know what to expect of this country, because it was never on my radar before this year. We rented a nice top floor apartment with a big roof terrace that had a view … Continue reading Summer in Vlora

Just keep swimming

25 July 202224 July 2022 / Renee / Leave a comment

Since I was young, I have had a love-hate relationship with water. On one hand I loved playing in the pool, pretending I was a mermaid, on the other hand I got fearful as soon as the water got deeper. There is something about that sensation of not being able to touch the ground, and … Continue reading Just keep swimming

At the moment, I’m not really active with my photography, because it’s just too hot! The average temperature in Albania is around 35 Celsius. But that doesn’t mean that I never take photos anymore. Currently we live in an apartment with a big roof terrace. Every evening we see the most beautiful sunsets! These days … Continue reading A few snapshots of Vlora – Albania

Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)

18 July 202217 July 2022 / Renee / Leave a comment

My cooking is slowly improving, and it makes it easier to try and make new things. As vegetarians, options can be a bit limited when you want to save a bit of money. Because let’s face it, we live in a world where unhealthy food is often cheaper than healthy food. The same goes for … Continue reading Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)
