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 […]
Phew! This week just flew by! I worked on a few recipes, nothing was photographed though. Yeah… Note to myself – never plan to photograph something the next day.
Eryk refuses to nap on his own recently and as a result I found myself with some mandatory downtime. This is a roundup of where […]
I know we’re still in October but it is never too early to start working on Holiday gifts, right? Few days ago I’ve stumbled upon this post at the Love & Olive Oil and thought – what a fun idea! Of course I signed up right away because who wouldn’t want to […]
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..

Probably this is the last post before Christmas, so why not make it about cookies. Again.
I must warn you – these gingerbread cookies are very tasty and worth the effort but the dough is rather difficult to handle. After I managed to get done with cutting the cookies my kitchen looked like after the […]
This year I have more kitchen responsibilities than I am used to, just because I will be preparing Christmas Eve dinner on my own. It will be just for two of us, but still I want to preserve atmosphere of holidays and recreate as many traditional Polish dishes as I can (just so you know, […]
I must confess, pumpkin is pretty new to me. I knew it can be used to make a delicious milk based soup, that my grandma used to make for me, but that is it. After moving to US I discovered there is much more to know. There is “other” pumpkin soup, I have heard […]
