Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches / Kepti sūrio sumuštinukai
Mini cheese sandwiches are very tasty with a cup of morning tea or coffee, and when they get cold – they are perfect with salads, soups or just as a snack. I like these sandwiches since my childhood, because my mom used to make them. I enjoy them either still hot and cold. It’s a…
Easy Beef Tacos / Lengvai paruošiami takai su kepta jautiena
In my opinion, tacos are not yet sufficiently appreciated dish in Lithuania. It’s an extremely quick and simple snack-dinner, which takes a little time in the kitchen. The most important thing is that you can choose your favorite meat, ground or chopped, stewed or boiled. Tacos also go with a variety of vegetables and salsas….
Classic Spanish Custard – Natilla / Klasikinis ispaniškas desertas – Natilla
Natilla is a custard dessert that has a very mild flavor and light texture, and it requires only 6 ingredients to make. In Spain, you can buy this dessert at almost every store. The vanilla and chocolate flavors are most often found. I will make the last one the next time, because chocolate natilla resembles…
Chickpea and Bacon Stew / Avinžirnių troškinys su šonine
I’m making chickpea stews whenever I want a filling, but healthier stew option. The most important thing is that the stew can be cooked with a variety of meat and vegetables (very useful when you need to use leftovers in the fridge!). Specifically for this kind of stew you need just a few ingredients and…
Lithuanian Schnitzel with White Sauce / Šniceliai su balta duona ir padažu (kaip valgykloje!)
About 20 years ago, my grandmother used to take me to eat Lithuanian type of schnitzels at the canteen called “Eglė“ in Prienai (my hometown). Back then I thought that there was nothing more delicious in this world than that schnitzel… The fun time with my grandma and amazingly delicious schnitzel stayed in my memories…
Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce / Makaronai su krevetėmis ir kreminiu grietinėlės-pomidorų padažu
I never say no to a plate of delicious pasta. I like pasta prepared in any way – with tomato sauce, with simply olive oil or creamy sauces. How do I decide to make my pasta depends on my mood. This time I wanted to have a creamy, delicious, yummy pink sauce with my pasta….
Coffee Cake Squares / Kavos pyrago kvadratėliai
At the first glance, this cake might look very simple. But all the goodness lies in simplicity… This is one of those cakes that after eating a first piece of cake your hand itself is reaching for the second, third piece, until only the crumbs remain. The only thing you’ll need with this pie is…
Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa Verde / Žaliasis avokado ir dumplūnių padažas
Tomatillo is a particularly popular vegetable in Latin American cuisine. Most of Lithuanians might have heard something about tomatillo (and I have no doubt that even seen one), but in Lithuanian cuisine tomatillo is used very very rarely. In US green tomatillos can be found in most of the supermarkets or Latin American stores. I…
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Tomatoes and Mushrooms / Kiaulienos kepsniai orkaitėje su pomidorais ir pievagrybiais
I simply love roasted pork tenderloin prepared like this. In general, I like roasted pork, so this dish is super yummy to me. It’s really rear that someone would prepare pork tenderloin in US like this, but in Lithuania, at least my mom often makes pork tenderloin similar to this recipe. She often chooses vegetables…
Farmer Cheese Pancakes with Apple / Varškėčiai su obuoliu
I really like pancakes with apple. During fall season, these are one of my favorite pancakes, but equally the same I love farmer cheese pancakes (varškėčiai), so farmer cheese pancakes + apple = the ideal version of farmer cheese pancakes 🙂 When you add apple to the farmer cheese dough, they become much softer and…
Majorcan Cabbage Soup (Sopa Mallorquina) / Malijorkietiška kopūstų sriuba (Sopa Mallorquina)
Well, how many of you buy a cabbage and a poor vegetable stays in a fridge for a day, two, or maybe a week..? It happens to me sometimes. And it just so hard sometimes to make up what to do with it. I was thinking to make cabbage rolls, but they take so long…
