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!
I don’t like to think about myself as a lazy person (who does), but sometimes I just am. Lazy. This seems to happen more often recently, when the temperatures are high, breeze almost nonexistent and my willingness to spend time in steamy kitchen shrinks to zero. But as you may guess I […]
This dish makes great “make ahead” dinner. It may be prepared few days in advance and stored in a fridge until you’re ready for it. It is filling and provides you with some fiber, with an average portion of 3 crêpes. I like to refry them and then enjoy crispy part of […]
This dish is super quick, especially if frozen peas are used. It can serve as a main dish (this recipe yields two main dish portions) or as a side dish, a tasty prelude to something special. If you ever visit Spain I recommend you to taste it there if you get a […]
I like dinners that take no more than 30 minutes to prepare, well maybe sometimes 40 minutes is ok. This is my last creation from what I found in my fridge and pantry. You may wonder what’s on that plate. So here it is: quinoa with bok choy with grilled chicken breast and […]

Creamy chicken is delicate in flavor, not overwhelming in richness and it goes really well with grains. Isn’t that perfect? Something comforting that can be eaten without gilt and even with benefit to our […]
I prepare this stew when I am not in the cooking mood, or when I want something hearty and easy. Nothing can go wrong with this recipe and prep work is short. Just cut the veggies and toss into a pot, and then wait and smell deliciousness. Another nice thing about this dish is that […]
Maybe pizza is not the most romantic dinner but preparing it definitely can be :). Especially when accompanied with a glass of a good wine, so maybe give it a try. And of course romantic dinners are not reserved only for Valentine’s Day!
When making this pizza I usually use already seasoned tomatoes to shorten […]
I spent small, but very happy, part of my life living in Spain. One of the valuable skills I acquired there is how to prepare tortilla Española. It is delicious and I just can’t say enough how much I love it. It is great by itself, accompanied by a simple green salad, or tucked between baguette […]
I declare this week a potato week on What’s on the plate! As I probably mentioned once or twice in the past I love potatoes (as much as one can love a vegetable). I grew up eating variety of potato dishes and it just stayed with me, so now I make sure to always have […]
