Hazelnut millet porridge with dates

  Millet has been trending in Polish blogosphere for a while. Apparently it's one of the healthiest grains (although technically it's a seed). But I struggle with changing my habits. For an everyday breakfast I usually have muesli with milk or yogurt. But when I get myself organized I often have porridge. So millet porridge was …

Cardamom and coffee chocolate mousse

When I told you I loved chocolate mousse I wasn't kidding. I loved how simple it was to make, how light it felt and how healthy it was. Well, there is another (avocado one) that I would love to try. We are heading to Spain on Sunday (I'm writing it on Friday), I'm not packed, …

Chestnut chocolate pots

When the guests are coming I usually look for a cake I could make. A cake is my favorite, my comfort zone. I only need to have an idea what type of cake I want. Usually, the answer is an easy one.  But since I try to be good and avoid carbs I needed to figure out something …

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 …

Crepes with sweet cheese filling

This weekend I spent on my own. Tomek was out on his long, boys-only weekend. For me it usually means to be able to catch up on some reading, cooking, or just browsing. To be fair I didn't catch up with too many things, I don't know where time goes, but for sure it goes …

Chrusty, faworki, angel wings with beer

There are absolute values you need to follow. I'm still not convinced by Pancake Tuesday, I don't mind changing Thursday to Tuesday, but why pancakes, when you can make doughnuts or faworki? So I'm still Fat Thursday girl, even though this year we celebrated it on Sunday, as it was just easier to find a little …

Chrusty, chrusciki, faworki, angel wings

Ok, so I told you about Polish doughnuts. They are the most important part of the Fat Thursday, but there is something more. Something you can't buy at a bakery. OK, you can, but it's very, very hard to find ones that taste good. I'm talking about faworki or chrusty or chrusciki the name differs …
