Simple Oat Bars

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! …

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 …

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 …

Healthy kale crisps

Why nobody told me about kale crisps before? Seriously. I always struggle with eating veggies and my boyfriend doesn't help as he rather asks questions like "do you want crisp/chocolate/cookie?" rather than "do you want healthy salad?". I'm new to kale, somehow in Poland I've never encountered kale, well my Polish cookbook mention it, but …

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 …
