Very first post

Hi there! this is my first post on this blog... soo scary... I have a blog for me now!! I don´t know exactly what to say (or write) but just to welcome you to my place. Here I intent to show all things I like to do, where I find inspiration and what I do with that. Before saying anything else I´d like to ask you to forgive my english spelling and grammar, it´s not my mother languaje and though I´m checking all my spelling before writing I know I´m full of mistakes. Thanks for your undestanding.
I didn´t do any crafting so far this week... I´ll start after I finish this post, but I did some cooking instead! I love to cook, for me is another way of art, where you start with some ingredients, combine them in a predicted way  sometimes (and not so predictable way others...) and you find at the end something that not only can be enjoyed with your tastebuds, but also with you eyes. But what I believe the most important feature while cooking is that it always has a part of me. This time I did a recipe following Heidi´s wonderful appetizer Baked sweet potato falafel. A few years ago I found Heidi´s blog and I started turning my cooking more in the healthy way as she shows with her delicious and easy to prepare recipes. Here is what they looked like before getting into the oven


and this is how they turn out



I baked them following the recipe´s directions and we had them with a modified alioli (oil, garlic, mayo, plain natural yogurt, salt and pepper). This is the second time I make them and they are always a success.
For not knowing what to say I said a lot.... that´s me!
