Brewing coffee in the Bialetti Moka is a fan favorite of this half Italian’s household and attracts a fair amount of interest and questions from my friends. As a result, I wanted write up a quick blog post sharing the steps and an instructional video of yours truly making coffee with it.
Cooking for one is not always so easy. Most recipes have you make a huge vat of food that you must eat all week, so I prefer to create my own solo dishes. If you’re craving a spicy yet comforting pasta dish, this one is a winner! I love packing as many veggies as possible into every meal, so this dish is mostly veggies, with smaller portions of pasta and beans. I’ve purchased a spicy pre-made tomato sauce from Waitrose, but you can use any store-bought or homemade tomato sauce in this recipe.
Is it just me or did 2018 fly by in a flash? While I wish I had made more time to write in this lil old blog in 2018, I continue to be amazed by how much traffic my blog gets, plus the top posts that bring people to The SavvyBostonian. Inspired by the most-read posts this year, here are my top blog posts to share with you.
Summertime in London is….interesting. The weather constantly changes – one day it could be in the high 60s and chilly and another will be absolutely scorching hot. Add in the fact that nobody has screens and air conditioning is hard to come by and the hot days feel that much hotter.
When faced with a British heatwave, my flat quickly becomes unbearable. As a result, I crave cold yet nutritious smoothies – like this vibrant green mango, banana and spinach protein smoothie. Sweet yet satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients, braving a British heatwave just got that much easier.
Cooking for one can sometimes feel a bit blasé. If you buy too much food at one time, you fear that much of it will go to waste. However, the thought of eating the same thing everyday can also get old – quickly. The solution? To get creative with how you take leftover ingredients in your refrigerator and make them into a range of yummy dishes. One of my regular go-to’s is to whip up a grain, veggie and fried egg bowl. Simple, healthy with just the right amount of indulgence – not only can you make it in a flash, but it tastes delicious.
