Big compartment: Wholewheat Farfalle pasta with grilled zucchetti (baby courgettes), yellow bell pepper and butter-melted tomatoes, Parmesan.
Small compartments: A very happy Babybel cheese in his natural habitat: toasted dark bread pieces!
Recently, my parents visited and brought me dark bread from Austria - now my freezer is full of it! When I was little, I was [...]
