A perfect family day at ! 🌿💦 Our little guy amazed us by walking the trail like a big boy, with lots of help from his sisters. 👦👧👧

Spending time in nature always reminds me that the best stress relief doesn’t come in a bottle. A hike, fresh air, and endorphins flowing are the perfect recipe for a happy mood.

Do you have a favorite spot where you go to recharge in nature?

💪 Want more energy and better fat loss results?

Try 20–30g of protein in the morning from foods like:

1. Breakfast Eggs with Kefir and Cottage Cheese on a bread slice (27 grams of protein)
2. Cottage Cheese Toast with Berries and Kefir (23 grams of protein)
3. Avocado Omelette with Spinach and Tomato Paired with Kefir and a side of Bread (27 grams of protein)
4. Ricotta Waffles with Whole Wheat Flour Served with Cottage Cheese, Maple Syrup & Fruit (20 grams of protein)

These days, my mind is set on perfecting my sourdough-making skills.
I spent most of my professional life working in labs, growing cells every day for research – both bacteria and yeast.
So when I first tried making a sourdough starter, I thought it would be easy.
But my first attempt failed instantly.
I stopped for a while, but it kept bothering me that I couldn’t make a simple starter.
Another thing that bugged me was why my loaves always came out flat.
After watching lots of videos, I learned how to fold the dough properly.
Finally, I made a decent loaf!
I’ll keep practicing until my bread looks like it came straight from a bakery.
Stay tuned!

🇷🇸 Ovih dana, potpuno sam posvećena usavršavanju pravljenja kiselog testa.
Veći deo svog profesionalnog života provela sam radeći u laboratoriji i svakodnevno uzgajala ćelije za istraživanje – i bakterije i kvasce.
Zato sam mislila da će pravljenje startera za kiselo testo biti lako.
Ali moj prvi pokušaj potpuno je propao.
Prestala sam na neko vreme, ali me stalno mučilo što ne mogu da napravim jednostavan starter.
Još jedna stvar koja me nervirala bila je što su moji hlebovi uvek ispadali spljošteni.
Nakon mnogo odgledanih videa, naučila sam kako pravilno da preklapam testo.
I konačno sam napravila pristojan hleb!
Nastaviću da vežbam dok moj hleb ne bude izgledao kao iz prave pekare. Stay tuned 😉!
