Here passed another Christmas Eve and Christmas, my favorite time of the year… Actually time simply flies during the festive period. It’s just a few days left until the New Year… Before that I’d like to share with you my Christmas Eve dinner (Kūčios) menu, which was almost traditional Lithuanian. I also included some new…

Trijų pienų tortas (Tres leches)/Three-milk cake (Tres leches)
Toliau tęsiu sau duotą pažadą iki Naujų metų vis mėginti seniai pasižadėtus išbandyti receptus. Kalėdoms jau paruoštas – Tres leches! Išvertus iš ispanų kalbos būtų trijų pienų pyragas/tortas. Lietuviškai vertinys skamba tikrai keistai, bet kitaip nepavadinsi. Vieną skaniausių tres leches paskutiniu metu ragavau greito maisto restorane “Pollo tropical“. Šis restoranų tinklas JAV labai populiarus, nes…
Kūčiukai (Lithuanian Christmas Eve Special Cookies) / Kūčiukai
What an indescribable aroma occurs in home, when the Christmas Eve cookies (Kūčiukai) are baking in the oven!!! It’s just impossible to imagine Christmas Eve (Kūčios) itself without Christmas Eve cookies (Kūčiukai)… It’s like a mother – Kūčia (Christmas Eve) with her children – Kūčiukai (Christmas Eve cookies)… I think Christmas Eve is a very…
Velniški keksiukai su ganašo kremu/Devil’s food cupcakes with ganache cream
Ech, Kalėdos jau visai visai čia pat… Kalėdų laukimas man visuomet toks stebuklingas, jaudinantis ir mielas. Ir visuomet tuo laikotarpiu norisi gaminti ir gaminti vis ką nors ypatingo, kas dar nemėginta ir super skanu. Ypač tai galioja saldumynams… Prieš pat metų pabaigą man dar norisi išbandyti tuos receptus, kurie ilgai sukasi galvoje, bet visuomet būna:…
Įdaryta paprika/Stuffed bell pepper
For this Christmas table I am suggesting a stuffed bell pepper snack that will not only give your table more colors, but even your choosy guests will like them. While preparing the festive table, especially when more guests are coming, I know how important is to make quick and easy snacks, or those which…
Caramel Cake / Karamelinis tortas
Caramel cake while waiting for the holidays… Just a few days left before Christmas! This year is almost ended… The year passed just in a moment, and maybe even faster, depending on how much you’ve done through the year. This year, I can safely say that I’ve made lots of pastries, cakes and other sweets…
Carnitas/Troškinti mėsos gabalėliai (Carnitas)
Carnitas (or just pieces of meat) is the most common with tacos or burritos. Such meat is very popular in Latin America, especially in Mexico. Since in the United States are quite a lot of Mexicans, especially in Florida, so here carnitas is pretty popular. Restaurants and fast food places can often offer carnitas…
Fried Shrimps (a la Gabardina) / Krevetės tešloje (a la gabardina būdu)
My most delicious ever eaten snacks where in Spain. In whatever coffee shop, bar or restaurant you will go there and order appetizers from the menu – you’ll never be disappointed – everything is so delicious! Often Spaniards serve for you their tapas, you can get various types of them: potato chips, sandwiches, marinated olives or…
Fish Stew with Zucchini and Potatoes / Troškinta žuvis su cukinija ir bulvėmis
Stewed fish is healthy and delicious for dinner or lunch. The dish does not require a lot of ingredients, it is very easy to prepare and really healthy, for that you shouldn’t have any doubt. I really enjoy to eat such stews for my dinner. You can use your favorite fish fillet, not necessarily…
French Toast/Prancūziškas skrebutis
There is a saying that breakfast – one of the most important meals of the day, so, in my opinion, each of the breakfast has to be not only a super tasty, but also to look very colorful and beautiful as well. After all, we eat not only with mouth, but also with eyes. One…
Florentinai su kondensuotu pienu ir kukurūzų dribsniais/Florentines with condensed milk and cornflakes
Lipnūs, traškūs, gražūs, skanūs – tokie florentinai su kondensuotu pienu ir kukurūzų dribsniais. Manieji florentinai storiuliukai, nėra labai plokšti, bet šį kartą tokių norėjau. Sekantį kartą bandysiu kepti parduotuvinius, tikruosius – plokščius ir kietus. Florentinų pagaminimas nėra labai sunkus, o ir rezultatas tikrai šaunus. Tokius sausainius gražiai įpakavus galima drąsiai dovanoti kaip dovaną Šv. Kalėdų…
Couscous with Sausages / Kuskusas su dešrelėmis
For today’s quickly made dinner or lunch I suggest couscous with sausages. The meal will make your stomach really full, it is so simple and prepared super fast. You can combine your favorite ingredients or whatever you have in the fridge, when the couscous is prepared in this way – almost everything goes with it….
