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.

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…
Farmer Cheese and Peach Pie / Varškės ir persikų pyragas
A great pie to end summer and start autumn. Slightly creamy, slightly fruity and with a soft base. You can easily modify the pie using just farmer’s cheese instead of ricotta and vice versa. Instead of fresh peaches, nectarines can be used as well and preserved peaches would work great too, just make sure to…
Parmesan Chicken / Vištienos kepsniai su parmezano plutele
Finallyyyyy I’m writing my beloved blog again! I say “Hi“ to all of you who have missed me (and those who didn’t really) after a long vacation. If you’re following me on Instagram, you probably noticed that I was in Lithuania and several places in Europe as well. I haven’t been to Lithuania for almost…

Those who like to go to the Mexican restaurants, you must have tried tomato salsa served with tortilla chips. I looove that salsa, and I love it so much that I also make it at home. When I found this recipe, it became my nr.1 tomato salsa suitable with a variety of snacks and, of…
Extra Moist Lemon Yogurt Bread with Glaze / Drėgnas citrininis jogurto keksas su glajumi
Amazingly soft, moist and very fresh flavor bread. And I promise that you will fall in love with it from the first bite!! I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of lemon desserts or cakes, but my husband is very fond of bread and pies with lemon, so from time to time I spoil…
