Yesterday was my friend’s birthday and I was thinking what would be a nice gift for her. Then it occurred to me, why not bake some delicious cookies for her! Crispy Oatmeal cookies are really good, and as she put it – they are addictive. I agree. Each time I make them they’re gone in […]
Close your eyes (or not if you want to know what’s next). It is a late afternoon/early evening and you are tired after a full day of work/hiking/or maybe skiing. It is cold outside but you are sitting in your favorite chair, perhaps by a fireplace (warm blanket works too!). You are having in your […]
I have never thought that writing about food is so difficult. But it is! After that few weeks of blogging I am out of vocabulary (nothing to be proud of) and my post are not long at all. I really hope that with time I’ll get better so please hang in there! I just bought […]
Sometimes I need to eat something sweet. Oh no! I used this one already. Ok, then let’s go with: Sometimes I have some leftover egg whites in the fridge. Often I wondered what to do with them, but not anymore. Meringues are egg whites cookies that can be shaped beautifully with pastry bags and stored […]
First I have to say that I am not a fan of brussels sprouts. They just bring weird memories (I am sure my parents tried to feed me brussels sprouts more than once). Unfortunately my husband loves them, so from time to time we have brussels sprouts for dinner. Each time I am trying to […]
Did you know that potato was domesticated over 7 000 years ago in Peru? And that average person eats about 33kg of potatoes a year? This crop is also very important in Central and Eastern Europe, where the consumption remains high. Maybe because I grew up there I can’t imagine my life without potatoes – […]
I always look for new farmer’s cheese uses. Usually it ends up on my sourdough bread, topped with honey (yumy!) but often I am not able to finish entire package before the expiration date. You can see where my problem is.. Also I often think loudly about my food related problems, among others, and […]
I am often asked to describe my country and somehow I’ve never had a good answer to that request. Maybe because when I think about Poland I think about food that I miss, flavors I grew up with that got lost without notice, between changing countries and continents. It is difficult to explain, but for me […]
Sometimes I need to eat something sweet and it can’t be “just” fruit. If you also have this problem you will like this recipe. It is quick, almost healthy (just 1tbs of sugar!) and it’s sweet! And you can vary amount of sugar and cinnamon to suit your taste.
Ingredients:
2 medium apples 1 tbs […]
I usually eat cauliflower just cooked in salted water, topped with some butter. But some time ago I promised myself to eat more vegetables and find new ways to enjoy them. So time has come to prepare the cauliflower, not in usual for me way.
Ingredients:
1 cauliflower 1.5 cup of water 1/2tsp salt 2 […]
