Coconut Quinoa Porridge / Kvinojina kaša s kokosom

“Happiness [is] only real when shared” 

― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

I took a little break from typing, cooking and taking pics. That's what I really needed. In the meantime, my life changed a lot, it was hard but now I'm stronger, better and I look forward to the future. This blog will be rearranged a bit, in terms of the type of recipes. I have decided that I will post healthy recipes and I hope that you will cook with me, look at my photos and leave some comments. The sponsor of this post is Ohana vanilla. When I received the package of vanilla, that vanilla scent poured through it, even though it was hermetically packaged. Vanilla pods were soft and I can confirm that this is quality stuff. Sheldon is the one who sent me vanilla and he could not be more kind and helpful. Still with love, Neja

Vzela sem si malo pavze od tipkanja, kuhanja in fotkanja. To sem res potrebovala. Vmes se je v mojem življenju veliko spremenilo, bilo je težko ampak sedaj sem močnejša, boljša in veselim se prihodnosti. Ta blog bom malce preuredila, kar se tiče tipa receptov. Odločila sem se, da bom objavljala zdrave recepte in upam, da jih boste kuhali skupaj z mano, se ustavili ob mojih fotografijah in pustili kakšen komentar. Sponzor današnje objave je Ohana vanilla. Ko sem dobila paket vanilije je vse dišalo po njej, čeprav je bila neprodušno zapakirana. Vanilijini stroki so bili mehki in lahko potrdim, da je tole kvalitetna roba. Sheldon je tisti, ki mi je vanilijo poslal in ne bi mogla bolj pohvaliti njegove prijaznosti in ustrežljivosti. Še vedno z ljubeznijo, Neja
