Cake looks so yummy, it makes my mouth water.
Coffee is on and stay safe
It is the carpaccio which tempts me most today. Thank you.
Delicious!
That cappuccino cake looks great! Valerie
Three delicious recipes. I like how quick the cucumber and halloumi bites are, a good one for when time is at a premium.
These look good :-D
All three look delicious!
Take care, enjoy your day!
That cake looks yummy. I've been trying to get back on carbs and I'm allergic to almonds. Any dessert suggestions?
Three great recipes, Jan! Happy 2022!
The Carpaccio looks amazing!
Anything with Halloumi is generally very appetising, unfortunately I don't like cucumber though!
I just had breakfast but these look good :)
Haloumi bites followed by a slice of chocolate cake, yum.
If there is zucchini, tomato and cheese all together in one dish it's a winner in my book!
All three sound and look delicious! Nice to have a low carb cake!
I must be hungry. Everything here looks so darn good. LOL
Everything looks so good!!
Se ve muy rica. Gracias me encanta el chocolate.
Buen jueves.
