So as Italy began its lockdown for the Coronavirus, and we were all forced to stay home, I thought this was the perfect time to dedicate some of the additional hours I find myself with to my blog and creating recipes everyday for my followers. to give people some inspiration while they are at home, [...]
Buckwheat - those little round seeds that make the texture of the granola so crispy and wonderful. Buckwheat despite the name is actually gluten and wheat free. I have made granola many times but this is by far my favourite. Plus it takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish, and will save you [...]
Here are couple of recipes from our healthy eating and fitness week Uma Retreats in Lake Como! I prepared some healthy snacks to accompany our exercise from post cardio energy balls, to protein bars for our mountain hike.
