When I was little I hated spinach. Or at least I thought so. Now, when I think about I didn’t really have a reason to hate it, because I can’t remember trying it in a first place (brussels sprouts on the other hand are completely different story). Much later in my life, […]
I am definitely on some type of sentimental-culinary trip to my motherland. Instead of being happy with experimenting with new foods, as I have been until now, I am craving familiar flavors and dishes. Comfort foods from my childhood and such. I am not sure from where it comes, but well, I’ll […]
Remember how I was complaining about my nausea during summer? Well, fresh cucumbers and this dinner helped me survive. It is light on your stomach and cucumber salad brings a refreshing flavor to the entire dish. Besides it can be ready under 45 minutes – dinner from scratch!
It is very, very cold out here. Right now it is -2°F, but feels like -24°F. I don’t mind cold, snowy winters much, but I am glad that I have a choice of admiring this winter landscape from the warm inside of my home. Watching falling snowflakes, trees dancing in the wind […]
You’re probably getting ready for an amazing night with friends and family, or maybe you’re more like me this year, and celebrate in the comfort of your home. Or maybe you don’t care at all 🙂 – regardless – HAPPY 2014 everyone!

If you’re still considering some holiday last minute baking these gingersnaps may be just what you’ve been looking for. Mix the dough today and start tomorrow with gingerbread aromas.. Although I must warn you that rolling this dough out requires some serious strength and dividing it into small pieces before cooling it […]
Gingerbread is an inseparable part of Christmas baking. Its dense texture and spices bring warmth and comfort to the winter afternoons. This recipe has become one of my favorites. It is not only easy and quick, but it tastes exactly how gingerbread should taste (in my opinion ;)). Also, don’t worry about […]
This is dessert of my childhood. Of my childhood and all the kids growing up in Poland during the PRL times. These were times when chocolate was almost impossible to get at the store, and to be honest, this was one of the smallest problems. These […]
Today I am recovering after a very busy weekend. I was cooking and baking a lot just to put together one (ONE) dinner. Was it necessary? Probably not. Was it tasty? Oh yes! Did I enjoyed all the preparation and time I spent in the kitchen? Yes, for most of the time (my swollen ankles […]
