Glutenfree dinners, pastries and more. How will i gardening without a garden? We were looking for winter flowers by the ocean ended up in Nazaré.
there’s a tapas bar in Budapest and we had a date night there once second time we went there on purpose because we just loved that food on the first date and since then time
To time I just recreate the menu we usually had and I call it date night dinner so it is tenderloin on an onion bed actually with whole Peppers salt garlic powder and originally it has melted cheese on the top but because I use cheese on other part of the menu I skipped
It okay let’s see the next little mushroom heads cooked in red wine spices of course and very important part is the chopped parsley what just puts every food to the next level sweet paprikas grilled on olive oil and I forgot to make a video about
It but this is where I put the cheese I mean use the cheese when the paprikas are ready we just put the cheese on the top and it will melt right away you know I always try to be creative about these side dishes that we don’t eat
Always potatoes or rice so sometimes I make some kind of dinner rolls what we usually don’t have for breakfast for example this time I made baguettes as we always ate baguettes at the tapasbar so last but not least these melted sheep cheese got some walnuts and
There was a phase in my childhood when I ate melted sheep cheese on bread for every single dinner and I always read the garfield the cat comic book with it funny memories huh so my glutenfree baguetts turned out so well and however this dish is not the quickest and
Simplest one sometimes it’s good to make something special even without any special occasion am I right usually I make pizza every Friday but this time my older boy asked me to try something new and he mentioned that we could try pizza rolls so I gave it a try you know glutenfree um dough
Is very sensitive and harder to manage moving before baking but it worth the work because look it looks so good and it tasted so good and you know for pizza always make some kind of salad or
At least I just eat simple green sald with some salad dressing because it’s very good for your health you know it’s Carnival season which means baking Doughnuts in my home country and around us in our neighbor countries it’s very common to Bake Donuts but not the American ones with the hole in
The middle but this fluffy sometimes it’s filled with jams puddings or other stuff and of course of course it wasn’t a simple donut baking time for me because I wanted to try new gluten-free versions because it really it really is good when it’s fluffy and with glutenfree flours
It’s uh harder to achieve that consistency and one of the things that I learned that is very important to bake the perfect donuts is for example um a certain temperature for the oil it shouldn’t be very hot because it will burn the outside surface and the inside it will be still
Raw and the other thing is to put lid onto the pan for the first 2 minutes and yes I succeeded so my first traditional glutenfree Donuts turn out so good one with peach jam and the other
Is with chocolate glaze can’t stop once stop I made other Donuts as well though it is not the traditional one it has Apple sauce in the dough I think I can tell that this is our favorite type of
Donut it is sweet and sour at the same time so if you bake gluten-free it is a very good option and version pie salty savory pies I make it at least once a month as well and this time I thought to
Try something new you know what is a pie but it’s not that big round pie what you have to slice up never tried make handy pies and um we are so blessed that here in Portugal we can have store
Bought glutenfree puff pastry I know there are lot of recipes on the internet but to be honest I have so many things already on my plate pun intended I’m so glad when I just can pull out
Something from the fridge and I can make a quick and uh nutritious dinner for my family so as you can see I just made a béchamel type of filling with ham egg and cheese and I made these little
Cute squares and boys loved it and they said it is much more better you know than the big circle pie and as usual I had some salad as well it’s called Sicilian salad and unfortunately I run out of Purple Onion because this is the authentic ingredient and I added some green leaves as
Well I am trying experimenting for years now to be able to make good uh fluffy delicious gluten-free pastries because you know I could buy whatever flour mix in the store but I don’t want to put unnecessary things into my food
You know as I said gluten-free flours are very hard to deal with so you can imagine how over the moon I was when finally I could make this wonderful bread rolls cheesy bread rolls you know it’s such a hard phase when you are full of IDeas but you can’t start these projects and
Make these Ideas alive because um you know #budget I always try to use this time for good so planning everything from A to Z when time comes and the money hits the bank account you know I just have
To hit the order button and go and get grab things what I need so what are we planning here right now if you have seen my other videos you know that I’m a farmer girl like I used to be and I will
Be you know this is the in between times when we are looking for our forever farm and right now I don’t have any garden and although we want to move from here uh next summer there’s no way that I don’t plant anything until next summer because I already missed the whole 2023 because
Of moving and I am missing it so much this will be my very first time that I am experiencing balcony gardening and you may think that oh it is so much easier to to plan for such a short time but not
It is so much harder especially because I have to think about to be able to move my future plants the easiest way want to have um a lounge area in this uh big balcony a comfy sitting area and all
The plants what loves and need direct Sunshine what we are really brainstorming about is that um how to put this little house what you have seen because we didn’t buy it it is very good
For storage but if I’d buy it I wouldn’t put it here on on the balcony and so my husband came with the idea to bring it down next to the car and with it my Pottery area and the compost
Area would be down next to the car where it is kind of shady this is what compost and potting area need so we can have all this balcony for ourselves and for our ideas I have been always
Planting on big area so it is kind of hard for me to manage um planning plans planning plans for such a little place so so I will using every little inch available and I will be focusing on vertical planting clumping planting and multisowing also this is a weird balcony
What faces totally south it will be very good for the sunlover plants and I’m planning to have some flowers here as well because it is totally glass so I can see it all the time and it will make me happy
I wanted to see the typical uh wintery scene by the ocean where what is said to have wonderful red and yellow flowers what only grows this time unfortunately when we went to the wrong place but we ended up at South nazare what was just
Wonderful the weather was glorious sand was warm thanks to the unusual mild and warm January and as we were driving home from the south part to the north part we saw that what wonderful opportunities are there so we definitely will come back for a whole day
