Pastry Love

Dear friends,

In one of my previous posts i was talking about food and i promised to post some recipes that i like. Therefore today i will share the recipe of one of my favorite pies - Berries Pie.

I have to confess that before getting married i seldom cooked or baked. Although my head was full of ideas, i never had the time and desire to do it. Well, the things changed after the wedding, and i started to try so many new recipes. The things got really serious when i found out i was pregnant. I don't know why, but i suddenly discovered my love for pastry, or as they call it in Italian "pasticceria". I became baking wonderful desserts (not too sophisticated though, I am not that good yet ) and i was so proud of the results. Even my husband was surprised, so i didn't need any other motivation to keep going.

So, let's get back to business. Here are the ingredients that you need for a delicious Berries Pie:

- 4 eggs
- 200g sugar
- 250g ricotta cheese 
- baking powder
- 150g flour
- 50g butter 
- berries 
- nuts (optional) 

What i like about this recipe is that it is very easy, you don't have to spend a couple of hours in the kitchen on order to bake this pie. Here are the steps that you need to follow:

1. Mix the sugar with the eggs yolks;
2. Add the butter. It should be previously melted;
3. Add the ricotta, flour, baking powder;
4. Beat the eggs whites until they become like foam, and add them to the dough;
5. Add the berries* and the nuts;
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180०. If you are not sure,  do the toothpick test;
7. Decorate it as you like.
    *You can easily change the berries with other fruits that you like. I have tried adding apples, pears and even pumpkin and the pie was perfect!

 This is a very tasty dessert and i bake it almost every week, I only change the fruit. Don't hesitate to try it too, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, i would love to help you!!! I am sorry if my picture is not too professional, i really need to work on my "taking pictures" ability. There is still plenty of time!!!




Have a great week, and enjoy the pie!

Love,

Alina

Did you know that? Italy

Hello everyone 😇, Italy is the country that has adopted us. I have been living here for almost 4 years now. It has its ups and downs but as a grateful daughter, I will not talk about any negative aspect here. This post is about the interesting facts you probably didn't know about Italy. I didn't know some of them either. And it was fun enough to discover it now. So here they are! Did you know that: 1. Italy has more volcanoes than any other country in Europe. It hosts all 3 of Europe's active volcanoes; 2. Pizza was invented in Naples. And it has recently become UNESCO's patrimony. Not the pizza as a product but the process of making pizza; 3. Italy is the 5th most visited country in the world. It welcomes around 46 million foreign visitors every year. 4. Italy is the 5th most populous country in Europe; 5.

Letter to Oliver

Dear baby Oliver, Why do you hurry  to grow up? Don't understand me wrong, I am glad and proud every time you do something new. Your noisy laughter melts my heart. The tender way you look into my eyes is just priceless. When you gently hold my hand it reminds me of all the times I have been thinking of you and waiting for you. Why don't you want to stop the time just for an instance? I wish I could keep the innocence in your eyes forever. I wish I could protect you from the bad. I want to see you growing a strong boy with a loving heart. I don't want you to get hurt in any way! Thank you for making me worth being called a "Mother". You have thaught me what patience is. You also help me understand that not everything should be about me. Your presence in our lives has made us better people. We can talk without saying any words. You are little but your heart is bigger than ours. There is room for everyone! This week you turned 8 months. 8 months of Joy, Love

Tips on how to improve your English

Hello English lovers! I dedicate this post to you! I am glad that we have something in common. English language has become my 2nd favourite language in time (after my native Romanian of course). Unfortunately there is a sad thing about foreign languages: if you don't practice you can easily forget them. Not everything, but most of the words and phrases. Since I don't have the possibility to speak English as often as I would want to, I have decided to work on my own. Therefore I found some interesting sources, where anyone could improve his English. Today I am sharing my list with you. I hope you like it. 1. Pot vorbi engleza/ I can speak English This  FB page  has been created by my FLEX friend Nicoleta Dvornicov. Although it is a course oriented mostly on beginners, I like to watch the video Nicoleta posts regularly. They are very accurate and informative ( with perfect English pronounciation).
