The holidays are coming and we are all crazy to see our grandmother, uncle, cousins and nephews again. It’s the time of love and happiness, or else they wanted to sell us and we are very obedient.
Christmas movies on TV, lots of food on the table and a desire to celebrate as we continue another year on Earth. It seems little, but it is not. For all that, his thing is that we cook good little dishes that please everyone.
And that’s why we are here today, since we are going to recommend a series of recipes that are very quick (to spend little time in the kitchen), very simple and very healthy (or almost healthy, which is a holiday and it takes to enjoy life ).
Without further ado, let’s move on to the recipes under 15 minutes that we can all make at home without having to have too many dedicated materials or devices. That’s to say, curious and original recipes anyone can try to make them.
