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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This is the cake I prepared for my Thanksgiving dinner this year. I chose it mainly because of rosemary in the recipe. It sounded so intriguing for me, as I am not used to use it in desserts.
Besides, this recipe doesn’t require mixer and can be put together in 20 minutes […]
Although I really like sauces, cheeses, meats and potatoes (well, I was raised on traditional Polish diet, wasn’t I :)), during summer I tend to pick lighter menu more often. And I say “more often” because quitting potatoes altogether is out of the question. Especially new potatoes prepared with butter and some […]
As a dietitian I like to know how many calories food has. I forget the number 15 minutes later, but still, I like to know. However sometimes I wonder what’s the point? Wouldn’t blissful ignorance be better? 🙂 Oh.. I am not making big deal out of it. It is just a […]
What can I say about this smoothie? It is delicious and not so sweet (although you can make it as sweet as you like). I love to have it on a hot day or after a nice run – cold, slightly acidic taste, flavor of bananas, quenching my thirst. Ahh… And all […]
Hello All! It’s Wednesday, but I am already ready for the weekend. Do you know that feeling? Hopefully the next few days will pass quickly and I will be able to enjoy some quality time with my husband. Recently we’re both so busy that I feel it is difficult to sit and […]
