We are far away from our family but I try to keep all traditions (well, maybe not ALL, but close ;)) and this cake is one of them. It can be baked any time of the year, but it is Easter when it is an absolute must to have it on the […]
I forgot to buy bread today and there is not enough time to bake one, as I need something to eat for breakfast. So what do I do? Muffins, aka oatmeal in a muffin form. This recipe I found at and adapted from Simply Recipes and it is perfect for […]
St. Patrick’s Day is coming this weekend and I chose to make clover cookies for the occasion. Some of them are dyed green, some just sprinkled with sugar, but all taste buttery and this buttery aroma was filling out the kitchen during baking. I think this is why I like baking so much. The smell […]
We’ve moved fair amount of times and the problem that always arises is where I can buy good bread (read: similar to what I am used to eat). The answer is not always satisfactory, as the store may be too far away, or the bread is not so good, or there may be not such […]
We had a lot of fun taking pictures of that tart. Does the picture above remind you something?
It’s a great dessert and the only bad thing is that one piece won’t satisfy you! One may wonder about the calories and all the fat, but take into consideration fact that the recipe asks for 1 […]
This recipe is an ultimate comfort food for me, especially for days like today. Cold and snowy, when I miss spring. 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 […]
Freckled cake is cute, full of freckles and flavor that will fill your entire house during baking. You will be especially happy if you like poppy seeds. I love them! Even more than potatoes ;). Remember to cover it after it cooled down, as it can dry out easily. I hope you will enjoy it […]
Savory Simple was my inspiration for today’s post. I saw malted milk truffles recipe there and decided to try it, as I LOVE malted milk balls. Truffles are fabulous. Maybe next time I will add more malted milk powder and see if this makes them even better (if that’s possible). Anyway, […]
Very important information – when cooking carrot soup choose stock or broth that is light in flavor, if not you will end up like me – carrot soup with tomato aftertaste… not good. Also, be careful who’s around you, if you don’t want to hear comments like “orange juice, really? Maybe you misread something” or […]
