Friday - Mushroom risotto

Have no idea what to do today. Sometimes I just want to stay in and do nothing... literally nothing. But it would be a waste of a saturday so I guess I find something to do. In retrospective I´ m allways glad I did.   

I'm planning on posting something later today. What should it be about? Suggestions? :) 

Have a great day! :) XOXO Nicky ♡

Wine tips

A few days ago we had Lamb Stew with some great red wine for dinner. I know that it’s not exactly a summer dish but it’s not exactly summer weather so...  :)  Passitivo is an inexpensive red wine. It has a fruity, spicy flavor with hints of barrel, dark cherry, currants and thyme. It’s perfect with lamb, but also good with other meat dishes. Make some delicious food, have a few glases of wine, kick of you shoes and chill out!  ;) :) 

 I hope you are having a relaxing evening where ever you may be! :) XOXO Nicky ♡

On the grill

It was supposed to rain today but for a few ours the sun was out in full blast for a great barbeque. We spent yet another wonderful day with my best friend and her family. I didn’t take many pictures of the actual dinner because I was too busy filling my plate :) Thanks guys for all the delicious food! 

Have a great day! XOXO Nicky ♡

Homemade Sushi

Yesterday we spent the day making sushi with my best friend (who also happens to be my sister in low) and her family. Well, I was just rooting them on so to speak and taking pictures ;P :) It was fun to learn from Peter and Timea since they had done this before. We made way too much for us to eat in one night, but it was yummy and lots of fun! 

Wish you all a very nice sunday afternoon a great week ahed! XOXO Nicky ♡
