Granola that smells with honey, but very crunchy and addictive like sunflowers. Everytime I prepare it, half of it I eat alone – without milk, just like crunchy cookies. Even my hubby loved it, just honey is not recommended for him, so next time I will prepare it with golden syrup instead of honey. And I like this granola without any mix-ins!

3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup oil

Preheat oven to 150°C. In large bowl combine oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, combine honey and oil. Pour mixture over oat mixture. Stir until well-combine. Use hands, if necessary. Pour mixture into a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread into a thin, even layer. Bake 40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once halfway through. Remove from oven and cool completely. Stir the mixture once or twice while it cools (it will harden as it cools). Once cooled, you can add in desired mix-ins. Store in an airtight container.

Refreshing and easy dessert with the last strawberries. To say the truth, I prepared double portion so I had to use wild strawberries too in companion with strawberries. Definitely I will prepare this dessert with other berries or fruits. This recipe is from my children recipe archyve. So if you add mild and sweet fruit, you can surely sweeten kids stomach. Just I really recommand to chill before serving – because ther cream becomes stronger.

(2 servings)

200 g fruits or berries

1 cup natural yoghurt

100 g cottage cheese

1,5-2 tbsps. sugar

All ingredients, except berries or fruits, put in blender and mix till smooth consistency. If berries (at this moment strawberries) or fruits are big, chop to small chunks. Mix more than half of berries/fruits with the cream. Devide dessert to nice bowls and decorate with leftover berries/fruits. Chill well and enjoy!

Today we celebrate Easter in my son’s kidergarden. I was asked to bring few eggs, but I just had to put them somewhere. So I baked this basket But while I was baking it, 2 eggs of 5 were eaten by my children, so I have to put candies to look basket pretty

25 g fresh or 2 tsps dried active yeast

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup oil

4 cup flour

1 egg for greasing the dough

Mix milk with water. Pour two spoons of that mixture into a glass, add yeast and leave for a few minutes. Mix egg, water with milk, oil, salt and sugar in the bowl. Slowly add flour. After adding flour make the dough until it’s soft and elastic. Leave it until it doubles it’s size. After that make for a while and form rollers. For making a basket you will need a bowl (glass and ovenproof). Wrap with foil the outside of the bowl. Turn the bowl upside down and form the basket. Make it the same way the baskets are made. Now form the brim of your basket. Draw the bowl on a graseproof paper. Make three long rollers of the dough and make a plait. Lay the plait on the drawn circle. Now form three rollers more and make another plait. It’ll be the handle of your basket. Lay this plait over the diameter of your bowl. After forming all basket parts grease them with egg yolk and bake until they’re gold. Leave it and let the basket get cold. Stick all parts together with toothpicks.

Notes: I halved the recipe and use 0,5 liter glass bowls. It was enough for one basket.
