I am leaving for a couple of weeks, so I’ve been taking double shifts of baking and cooking just to have enough good material for the time of my absence. And since day has only 24 hours I’ve been forced to choose rather simple recipes. Lucky for all of us it doesn’t mean that they […]
This is lazy quick type recipe. May be even quicker if you use already seasoned tomatoes :). I used to eat it all the time when I lived in Spain, was going to school and cooking for one. It was especially convenient dish during exams and not just because of its simplicity – just think […]
This recipe is from my mom in law. Thank you mom! We (my husband and I) love it, so she always makes it when we visit. The proportions are enough for ~4 people, however we are (the two of us) fully capable of eating the entire thing. So if you really like mushrooms and this […]

I think I’ve found a good cookie recipe book – Martha Stewart’s Cookies. I used it few times, and the results were always more than pleasing. These meltaways recipe was adapted from this book, and it also turned out to be a success. Although I was not so optimistic at the beginning. After all […]
This weekend we went to Chicago. Just to wonder around Michigan Ave, relax and maybe have something good for dinner or brunch, or maybe both! Why don’t go crazy, right?
Road trips are my favorites. There is almost no baggage limit (that reminds me I will be flying in two weeks…), you can stop whenever […]
Yesterday I opened my fridge and found there some chicken and not much more. Plain chicken may be very tasty when done right, but it is also quite boring. A quick search through the pantry, equally abundant as the fridge, resulted in a head of garlic and olive oil. Then I buttered a baking dish […]
This is pretty good recipe, so please don’t let it be wasted and try to make your own pierogi! It is not quick, you’ll need about 1 hour to prepare them for cooking, plus additional time to cook the sauerkraut, but the filing can be prepared ahead of time. Although lengthy, it is a lot […]
After all preparation, cooking, frantic shopping, etc. holidays are over. Now it is time to relax and have some leftovers for dinner. For me it will be mushroom soup and pierogi. And for dessert a piece of plesniak cake. After I finish it all, I will stretch out on the sofa and […]
