When Christmas is so close I start to feel the pressure. Pressure that everything has to be perfect. When I say perfect I don’t mean “pretty”, “colorful”, “ideal”. Anything like that. For me it means it has to be as if we never left home and this “perfect” starts with food. You know, the 12 […]
I have a list of dishes/baked goods titled – too difficult/complicated to make. It contains, mainly, just names of foods, no recipes, and really the food/recipe doesn’t have to have anything special to end up there. It is just a matter of my perception and gut feeling. You know, I look at the […]
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..

1/4 cup warm water 1 package […]
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 […]

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 […]
