I am in a deep need of some sunshine and vitamin D and I was so hopeful for some green color here and there and maybe bit higher temperatures. It all crushed few days ago when a small snowstorm hit the area. It looks like winter is not going anywhere any time soon.
To cheer […]
I am at the point where I need to research for new recipes, as I went through almost all my regular ones. For this purpose I have a stack of magazines clippings and cookbooks at home that I go through in search of something that would fit my mood. Do you know what I mean? […]
What attracted me first to the Inspired Edibles post was a picture of muffins. They looked so tasty and “healthy” and I knew I wanted to try them. So the next day I went grocery shopping and here they are: my first quinoa muffins.
Baking with flour other than wheat flour is new […]
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 […]
This recipe was adapted from Cooks Illustrated. I must say I’ve been using their website, magazines and books for a while now and every recipe was always a success. For someone who is still learning (read: me) trusting a recipe is very important. I just hope that one day I will be able to come […]

I’ve learned how to make this super […]
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 […]

Ingredients:
Garlic Chips
3 tablespoons olive oil 6 garlic cloves, sliced thin lenghtwise salt
Soup

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 […]
I finally got to my motherland covered with snow and welcoming me with single digits temperatures. How about that? 🙂 In the middle of winter there is nothing better, for me at least, than hot cocoa on a cold morning. And once I have a mug in my hands I also like to bite into […]
