Chips on a stick!

Recently we went to visit friends in Canberra as the National Multicultural Festival was on. What a great feast!

Food, drinks, music, live shows, a lot of people (which is something rare in Canberrs), traditional products and information about different places around the world. But what really got my attention was a food stand selling something called "Chips on a stick". A curlie cutted potato on a stick. There were two stands of this type and both of them had most of the time a long line of people buying. I was impressed to continuously see kids and adults eating these chips.

And of course,  I needed to try it as well as everybody else. Not healthy at all but delicious!  You could choose the flavors you wanted on them. I had the pepper & lemon one, and it was really nice.

Simple food but served in a creative way... You don't need to create new things to be successful,  a good idea to improve something that already exists is enough to win!  :)

Healthy-ish homemade lunch

I just want to share this great idea for eating a great meal without feeling too guilty.

I love a nice pasta and the Bolognese sause with meance meat it is definitely my favorite.  The problem is that I was trying not to have any pasta, bread, rice and potatoes during the week. What to do?

Simple: swapping pasta for cabbage!  Of course it's not the same taste but it does the job and a bit healthier.  Don't forget to use a lot of parmesan cheese. Hope you love it too!
