Here is a quick dessert that I make if I want to pretend that I am eating a healthy dessert: apples covered with oat streusel and baked in the oven.

Danish pastry
This is one project that is so worth it you will not believe. Imagine: you bite into a crunchy buttery pastry, still lukewarm from the oven… And you made it yourself! In only two days!
The fantastic trio: rice, chickpeas, and potatoes
I am making a conscious effort to eat more vegetarian food, and there is no better source for this than Indian food. I am slowly starting to get the hang of the recipes: it no longer takes me thirty minutes just to get my act together before starting to cook, I do not obsess anymore over every gram of ingredients, and I can hold more than one step of the recipe in my head.
For this dinner, I went for a winning trio: potatoes, chickpeas, and rice, with three dishes that turned out very well.
Barley minestrone
I am only calling this minestrone because I call virtually everything I eat with a spoon a minestrone. I got the inspiration for this recipe from a Croatian cookbook, and the flavour of barley immediately transferred me to my childhood, as my grandma used to cook barley quite often.
