Easy salads and mustard and honey dressing

I started blogging to learn new things and save good recipes I used. It works really well for me, I often tend to browse through my archive to find a recipe I used to make, but there is a lot of small tips and tiny recipes that tend to be lifesavers, but I barely ever …

Indian rice salad with chicken

I'm happy. The weather in Ireland is stunning. Another weekend is coming and we have  (again) high temperature warning! For you not familiar with Irish summer and Irish weather I will only say that usually we see here strong wind warning or maybe downpours warning. Everybody says it's summer when the temperature reaches 16ºC and …

Polish potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane)

Before I will show you more photos from Italy (it takes ages to decide which ones I like most), let's cook something Polish. You know I love potatoes, I could probably survive on a potato diet without any other damage then getting fat. Polish cuisine has plenty to offer when it comes to this humble veggie. So far I only presented to you Lazy dumplings, but it's just a start.

Mazurek – Easter tart with chocolate and prunes

There is still an Easter recipe waiting for you, even though Easter seem to be so far away. This year like the year before I won't tell you too much about Polish Easter traditions, although I feel I should, as there are so many and they are so different. Maybe next year I will be a …

Butternut squash and feta tart

That were a few busy weeks. We hosted Tomek's brother and his wife. It meant a lot of sightseeing. I will post photos later on. We used this long weekend to rest and catch up with simple things like petting the cats, shopping, reading books and watching movies. We ate simple food - roasted chicken on …

My favourite sourdough bread

As I promised in the previous post it's time to catch up with bread recipes. I started bread baking a few years back in Poland, probably there is something in my genes as both my parents worked in a bakery. I love the taste and smell of a freshly baked bread. At first, I baked with …

Pierogi with chicken, spinach and feta cheese filling

I always have mixed feelings about September. I was always a good girl. Therefore I loved going back to school. I love this feeling of starting something new. You know - new notebooks, pencils, books. I love writing the first page. I grow up in a house by the lake. You could quickly feel September …

Chocolate marble cake

I have too many ideas and too little time. Reading books, running, working hard, traveling, blogging, shopping, learning French, Italian, Spanish, English. I want it all. When it comes to food is the same. I was cooking a lot lately as I needed to try my new stand mixer. I was baking bread, rolls, making pierogi, …

Simple waffles

It's Irish summer. It means it isn't hot, but it is still warmer than in other seasons. It means it can rain slightly more than other seasons. As always you can't trust weather forecast more than 12 hours ahead. I would love to go for holidays. For some reasons it won't happen at least for …

Rolled oats cookies with sunflower seeds

I try not to bake during the week, only on the weekends, but even though there are moments when I need some kind of sweetness just because it’s Monday or it’s raining again, you can always find an excuse. So I want to have a cute cookie jar. I’m still looking for one that would …
