I love Ikea! I love the style, practical design, simplicity and their prices! Meeting friends can be so difficult with everyone being so busy and skint so making the whole process of meeting up and having fun easier is my aim for 2016! There is a new page on Ikea's website with all sorts of design ideas. My favourite is the idea where guests each brings a dish and friends come together for a delicious, "cheap" dinner party (on a Sunday but this could be any other day really).
I love to host dinner parties but they can sometimes be difficult to organise, friends then feel like they need to "return the favour" so keeping it simple and also fun by trying different dishes sounds like a great idea!
If you fancy trying something new these recipes are healthy and quick to make.
Red Lentil Kofta
These were so easy to make but they were also so delicious. What I really love is that you don't need 30 ingredients to make them. I these with mezze style with humous, salads, roasted peppers. This recipe is from Meditterasian.
1½ cups dried red lentils
½ onion—chopped
2 cloves garlic—chopped
1½ tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Cashew Cookie This is a 3 ingredient recipe (my favourite!) and absolutely delicious. This recipe is from Fit Foodie Finds.
I didn't blog about my wedding in the Maldives in October but here are a few photos. This was without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. We stayed in Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives, an all inclusive resort and we enjoyed spa treatments, delicious food and drinks. It wasn't cheap but it was so worth it.
I've been meditating for almost a year and one thing I notice now more than ever are beautiful views. Here are some amazing views that I would love to experience.
So every week seems to be crazy with work and so many things happening. The things that made me really happy were:
1. Reading "Beyong Happiness" which was great! Highly recommend it.
2. My hubby and I have started yoga camp (yoga with Adriene) which is amazing! I've tried yoga classes in the past but Adriene makes it so easy and fun. Check out her website yogawithadriene.com.
3. Listening to "Sleeping at last" for hours! (sleepingatlast.com)
