Sometimes it’s really hard to come up with an idea for dinner. You can become bored with one or another meal pretty quick… And if you want to prepare something healthier, then you may end up with a headache.

Avocado Salsa / Avokadų padažas
If only I have the opportunity and time, I always try to make my own sauce for fish or meat dishes, snacks or salads. Perhaps one thing you rarely find in my fridge is the sauce for salads or snacks. I just don’t like store bought sauces, that’s all. Of course, I always have a…
Easy and Quick Chocolate Chip Cookies / Lengvai ir greitai paruošiami amerikietiški sausainiai su šokolado gabalėliais
I have a weakness for American cookies. Here it is, I confess that. I could probably eat a whole oven pan of American cookies by myself… And not only could I eat that much of them, but it’s a pleasure for me to bake these cookies. So fast and easy! It doesn’t surprise me that…
Salad with Sprats / Mišrainė su šprotais
I think sprat is often devalued as a fish. Everyone worships anchovies, puts them on salads, pizzas, etc. But it’s also very easy to make a quick sandwich, salad or any other snack with sprats. By the way, pizza with sprats is super tasty (if you haven’t tried one, I highly recommend to do it)….
Cauliflower and Cheese Patties with Homemade Tomato Sauce / Kalafioro ir varškės sūrio kotletai su naminiu pomidorų padažu
Cauliflower and cheese patties not only look very pretty, but they also almost surpass the usual meat patties. The specific reason why these cauliflower patties are so different from others is because of a special egg and flour mixture, which coats them and gives that extra fluffiness and softness. Preparing a dish from cauliflower always…

Very soft, light and amazing taste cake will delight all cake lovers. It’s a great combination when it’s hard to pick what to bake – farmer cheese or apple cake. I found a way to make the choice easier – just bake the two cakes in one! And believe me, the cake base, filling and…

A quick dinner doesn’t have to be boring. In 20-30 minutes, without much effort, you can prepare a fairly fancy and particularly tasty dinner. The secret of these Spanish-style pork medallions lie in the sauce. The subtle sauce taste comes from sweet red and dry white wines. All the remaining ingredients are pretty simple. Besides,…
Traditional Lithuanian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls / Tradiciniai balandėliai
If you translate Lithuanian word “balandėliai“ to English, you get simply pigeons. But it has another meaning too. It can be translated as two people in love, that share their love in a very gentle, loving way. “Balandėliai“ can also be translated as lovebirds. So, I guess now it makes more sense why I’m posting…

Vegan Indian Yellow Split Pea and Spinach Stew (Dhal) / Veganiškas, indiškas žirnių troškinys su špinatais (Dhal)
For me Indian dishes always associate with a wide variety of flavors and colors. Every Indian meal is like a new adventure. I don’t know how about you, but for me Indian cuisine seems so enchanting, mysterious and even a bit magical… Since I have grown up with only Lithuanian cuisine meals, which are seasoned…
