For a long time I was thinking to make some granola bars at home but I never had enough time to do the research. After few days, I chose two recipes which I tried already twice in one week: Oatmeal Granola Bar and Cranberry Spice Granola Bar. I like the second recipe and it’s even easier to prepare. The first time I didn’t want to change anything on the original recipe, but after, you can do so many variations…. A word of advise, I strongly recommend the real vanilla bean instead of the regular “pure” or not vanilla extract. Other than that, be creative and use any dry fruits, oatmeal or nuts you may like, pour more cinnamon for a stronger flavour, etc, etc.

After so many sausages……it’s about time to eat something lighter and healthier. Looking for a salad and not being a fan of them, I just wanted to pick one which can “wow” me. The “Roasted Beet Salad”, definitely surprised me and made me to think of making one salad every weekend.
