COLORED TOMATOES AND ONION TARTE

Tomatoes are so easy to please! It’a hard to find someone that don’t like the red, juicy vegetable/fruit. When I moved from Brazil to Paris I got so amazed to see the different colors tomatoes could have. Back home than can be really delicious but always red. A green tomato would mean unripe and or…

ANNA’S HUMMUS

HUMMUS is the new Mayo I would risk to say. The advantage is that is much healthier, packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and healthy fats with the plus of being crazy yummy. Do you know someone that doesn’t like hummus? Store bought ones can be quite ok but nothing like homemade! Everyone probably already have…
