Some of you may remember a post published while back, when the weather was warm and enjoyable, where I shared that we’re expecting a new addition to our family. Now it is time to share another news. The mentioned addition is here with us! We named him Eryk, he is two weeks old now […]
As you may know, or may not know, recently I am tired almost all.the.time. It feels that I don’t have any real control over my body and I never know when it will just refuse cooperation. Regardless of how I feel I need to eat and so soups, stews and such became […]
Wherever you are, whether it is cold or warm, I hope you’ll have a wonderful day with your loved ones! And please remember also about those who are less fortunate this year and maybe a little bit lonely. Ultimately this day shouldn’t be just about the romance but also about caring and friendship, right?

Not so long ago I was having a nice lunch in our local diner. This nice lunch ended with an unexpected dessert that I ordered without enthusiasm, because what special can be about chocolate Guinness cake? Not much I thought. It is just chocolate cake, right? So there it was, sitting […]

Sauerkraut soup is another one taken from the sack of my childhood memories. For some reason my mom hasn’t cooked it very often (now when I am thinking about it I need to ask her why?!), but my grandma did and I loved it. It tastes sourly, as you probably guessed, but […]
My grandma passed away this Wednesday. It was peaceful, I was told, and I am grateful for that. I haven’t seen her for almost a year and this makes it harder to process. Being far away from home makes pretending that “nothing had happen” so easy. I just spoke with her few […]
Uff, I just looked at this recipe and it looks quite lengthy… But don’t fret! It’s just the first impression. As all yeasted goodness these buns require some rest time and some work time, but not so much of actual work. Unless you’re doing kneading yourself (as I did not so long […]
Crêpes can be quite versatile dish. Sour and sweet variation are endless, and this is just one of them. You can also think about it as a starting point (like with any other dish really) and add other ingredients and modify it as you wish. Some like raisins with their spinach, and […]
