I love this dish .. It is so delicious 🙂
When I invented it, I had so many apples at home, from my colleagues garden & my boyfrinds parents garden.
I love apples. I was juicing & making baked apples, but they just kept being in my kitchen 🙂
So .. Then I got the idea of making apple balls in the oven, at the size of cherrytomatoes.
I thougt that would be great side dish.
It was so yummy! ♥
Also .. Chicken is always a hit, and I love love love sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes tastes so good & special.
I try to make sweet potatoes, as often as I can 🙂
Pesto & chili mayo – So easy to make
Pesto are super easy to make yourself. No reason to buy it, when you can make a delicious & fresh pesto yourselv in 10 minutes 😉 and you can make it days before you are having it.
Same with chili mayo. It is so much better when it is homemade, and it also takes 10 minutes to make.
You can make chili mayo 1 – 2 days before you are having it 🙂
(Food-prepping is so smart! 🙂 I am going to practice that more, and make some posts about it – To inspire you, to make the everyday dinner cooking easier & smarter)
