Some more finger food.

{ spinach chili gressini }

Thank you so much for all the comments and all the support!
As many of you already know I am in Munich with a friend for ERASMUS :) We haven't yet managed to get a home of our own (but I feel like we are closer!), hence I haven't had much time for the blog. And I have also been having intensive german classes, so I have little free time and lots of things to do and to visit!
