Home-made Pasta with Roasted Rainbow Tomatoes

 Last Sunday I made fresh pasta (as you could have seen on Instagram). One of my favorite and oh, so easy recipes is this one; oven roasted tomatoes, eat them with fresh pasta or even on a toasted baguette, yum! It's all about the freshness of the pasta and the quality and taste of the different tomatoes (from the organic market).

 What you need;
- Different cherry tomatoes (look for them at your local farmers market)
- Fresh sage
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper

1. Cut (or keep them whole), Season and drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes
2. pop them in the oven on a high temrature (180*c/200*c) until the tomatoes are roasted
3. Serve them over your fresh (or store bought) pasta

Et Voila! Bon Appétit!

Black & White in Paris

One thing you can't miss in Paris is Le Jardin du Luxembourg, A massive building that holds the museum with an even bigger yard filled with flower gardens, ponds and romantic spots. It's absolutely breath taking.

Palazzo pants in Paris

 Walking in Paris all day long required a comfy outfit. Palazzo pants are my recent favorite thing! This floral print in Paris felt like the right setting.

For a played down look, wear it with sandals and when night time falls pop on some metallic heels to dress it up.

Happy Monday and happy July! I want to share the fact that I'm part-taking in a blogger challenge set up by a fellow Yu di Korsou (Curaçao native), a girl I used to be in class with. She blogs about society and anything unconventional. She is creative, witty and not afraid to share her point of view. Check out her blog Antiyano mi ta "here" .

Embrace July and your summer break!

On another note... I'm currently planning a short trip to Paris!

Luau

Going to the Luau, getting lei'd (those are the flower garlands). These leis where hand-made by family member. One of the garlands was made from little jasmine like flowers and smelled amazing. Others where made with orchids and carnations (my dads favorites).

I just think it is an awesome tradition! 

Happy Weekend.

Tip; How to save a lei? put it in the fridge!
