LIKE A SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY and RIBBON SALAD

I feel so good about myself! I just collected two more awards :D With all this bad weather and winter that seems to have no end this year, I welcome gestures of kindness form my foodie friends like I would welcome sunshine on a rainy day! My thanks go to Mina @Angellove's Cooking for giving me Sunshine Award and Angela @This is what I do.... for presenting me with Stylish Blogger Award. To see the awards, check out My Awards page. 

As for this salad. I saw it on Food Network Channel and it stayed on my mind, so I Googled the recipe, and made it my own with few simple alterations. This salad is colorful, fresh, and very tasty. My youngest had doubts about raw zucchini, but ended eating the biggest portion, and asking for more.

COOKIES and CULTURAL HOLIDAY

First I saw these cookies on FoodBuzz, they immediately caught my eye. I bookmarked the recipe and a few days later baked them, though in a little altered way.

The author of the recipe is Mama J @A Little Bit Crunchy A Little Bit Rock n’Roll. Mama J has some pretty interesting recipes posted on her blog, do check them out! And for the original recipe and yummy photos click here

I’m posting these cookies in honor of Slovenian Cultural Holiday. My home country, Slovenia, celebrates Cultural Holiday every 8th of February. Why 8th of February? Because on this day the most famous Slovenian poet, France Preลกeren (1800 -1849) died.
