Don't make those oat bars! Remember, I warned you. They were supposed to replace a cake, that I had an urge to make. They were supposed to be a kind of healthy, kind of indulgent breakfast snack. But they turned into little monsters. They were calling me from the cupboard even when I wasn't hungry. I swear! … Continue reading Simple Oat Bars

White bean dip with semi-dried tomato pesto + video
It all started long time ago. It was somewhere during the winter when Nora from Art of Exploring asked me if I want to collaborate with her on making a video recipe. I always wanted to make video, but I don't have skills or equipment. I love Nora's videos and she also often takes care of our cats (thank … Continue reading White bean dip with semi-dried tomato pesto + video
Strawberries from the childhood
Whenever I think about summer months when I was a child I see big baskets of strawberries. At the beginning of a summer I would eat strawberries straight from a bush, but as the days went by my eagerness towards them would die out slowly. One of the reasons would be the abundance, they were brought over from an allotment every single day. My mom would encourage me … Continue reading Strawberries from the childhood
Polish empanadas stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms
Every post should have an introduction. I wrote one for this one twice, but I didn't like it.

I'm new to kale, somehow in Poland I've never encountered kale, well my Polish cookbook mention it, but … Continue reading Healthy kale crisps

I miss you my dear blog and my beloved bloggers. I would love to promise that two more weeks and I will be back for good, but I know myself too long to believe it. But I have a few good reasons, why I was somewhere else. First of all, we had real summer over … Continue reading Smoked mackerel spread and what I did when I was away

Bruschetta with arugula pesto – Donna Hay Challenge
Here comes another Donna Hay Challenge. And this time I was thinking. I didn't focus on changing position of a napkin (but I know I should), or trying to make perfect slices of mozzarella. I even didn't make my own pesto (shhh..., don't tell anybody) and all because of Joanne. She wrote "How many more pictures of … Continue reading Bruschetta with arugula pesto – Donna Hay Challenge
