Usually I make tacos when I have very little time in the kitchen and when I want a fast and light dinner. Tacos are also great for a couple other reasons – they are so easy to prepare and they go with a variety of vegetables and sauces. By the way, instead of ground turkey,…

Kuršėnai Sweet Roll Cake / Kuršėnų vyniotinis
Somewhere in the internet I accidentally saw a picture of this cake roll and immediately decided that it’s just necessary to make it at home. I’ve eaten Kuršėnai sweet roll cake such a long time ago, so I don’t even remember when it was… Maybe 2-3 years ago. But it’s never too late to remember…
Mexican Salsa Ranchera / Meksikietiškas pomidorų padažas „Salsa Ranchera“
I absolutely love homemade sauces and salsas. No matter what kind of sauce or salsa it is, any made at home just can’t be compared to any bought from the store. These are just two incomparable things. If I make tacos, enchiladas or other similar Mexican dishes, I always try to prepare at least a…
Coconut Cookies / Kokosiniai sausainiai
These cookies are always good to have when you are looking for something with coconut, something sweet and something with a cup of tea or hot cocoa 🙂 Unfortunately, in US I couldn’t find coconut cookies, which I used to buy in Lithuania, so I made veeery similar ones at home. Quick and easy to…
Dominican Stewed Chicken / Troškinta vištiena Dominikos stiliumi
How many flavors are spreading in the kitchen, when chicken is stewing with lots of spices! It’s like if you would actually be in Dominica 😉 Well, at least I’m imaging that somewhere in Dominica, in a cozy kitchen, the housewife is preparing this dish for her family and enjoying not only all flavors, but…
Baked Whistlers (Švilpikai) / Švilpikai orkaitėje
Whistlers are one of the dish that I’m crazy about and I could eat it for several days in a row 🙂 Because of this, mostly, when I cook them, I always double the portion, that it would be enough for a few days. My husband is also a big fan of this dish (I’m…
Vegetarian Spanish Rice (Arroz Viudo) / Vegetariškas ryžių troškinys ispaniškai (Arroz Viudo)
For a day without meat – vegetarian Spanish rice. Very simple to make, doesn’t need much effort and time. That’s why I am so fascinated by Spanish dishes, because preparation doesn’t take a lot of time (well, unless you are making paella, then it takes a little longer..), and for most dishes you need just a…
Chocolate Brownie with Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Chips / Šokoladinis pyragas (Brownie) su karamele ir šokolado pabarstukais
FANTASTIC – is the perfect word to describe this brownie. Amazingly delicious, soft, veeery chocolatey caramel cake, which I promise, you haven’t tried anywhere else. And if you serve it with ice cream – a remarkable flavor dessert is guaranteed. This chocolate brownie won’t be liked by those who are sticking to the diet, but…
Sopa Azteca – Mexican Tortilla Soup / Sopa Azteca – meksikietiška tortilijų sriuba
Sopa Azteca is a very interesting, extremely delicious and very easy to prepare soup. I’m often looking for new soup ideas because I’ve been eating soups since childhood, so this habit didn’t disappear even now. Whatever kind of Latin American restaurant you visit in the US, you will always find at least a couple types…
