Grilled Paprika Chicken

Valentine's day..Well,what can I say?Everybody goes out and enjoy  a romantic dinner at a restaurant,with candles,champagne and of course chocolate . I totally disagree with this because in my view,if you love somebody you can show them every day on every period of the year.Nowadays we tend to seek for a reason to say " I love you!" or a special day when we are allowed  to treat ourselves with a tasty steak and a glass of champagne,pretty different than the usually chicken-chips.As a result I've chosen to stay at home and listen to some music with my boyfriend while cooking this irresistible Grilled Paprika Chicken.Our taste buds did the happy dance!!Let me know your opinion.
    Ingredients:
-1 kg skinless&boneless chicken breast
-lime juice
-5 garlic gloves
-sea salt
-black pepper
-5 teaspoon of sweet paprika
-dill
-oregano
-olive oil

Welcome friends!

Welcome dear friends to my first attempt in creating a blog.My name is Raluca and I just love food! I love how it smells, I love how it tastes,how it looks and the list is endless.I would literally give up many things for food.I was born 21 years ago in a small town near the mountains.There is where I've grown up and discovered my passion for gastronomy but now I live and study in England.As Romanians,we have a long history of farming and cultivating our own organic cereals,vegetables and fruits.As a result,I tend to use mostly natural ingredients when I prepare my food.In this blog I'll try to put together my two main passions: photography and food and I hope you'll enjoy ! Don't be afraid to criticize as any feedback is helpful.
