Wishing you a healthy and yummy New Year!

After having a Christmas break in Poland I'm back home and back to my lovely, fresh and made just for me kitchen. To celebrate this find above a healthy after holidays meal. People often ask why I don't have meat recipes on my blog. The thing is that I'm not really a meat eater sometimes I may cook it for friends that love meat but me I prefer veggie and vegan food. So I wish you the best year ever! May you find the love of your life, have the kids you wish for, eat good food, have the greatest job, make the trip of your life.

And don't forget, you got to love food!
