Valentine’s Day always brings me nostalgic memories from high school. It is on Valentine’s Day, when I used to always think and rethink what kind of a sweater to wear that heart shaped stickers would not only be visible, but not fall off from the sweater neither. If you don’t know what heart shaped sticker…

Easy Avocado Egg Salad / Avokado ir kiaušinių užtepėlė
Easy, fast, filling and delicious salad! It’s very clear that avocado-egg friendship is perfect, so the salad of these two ingredients for a breakfast is a must. In general, I appreciate and enjoy big breakfast because I would not be able to function normally at work or at home if I only ate fruit or…
American Chocolate Buttermilk Pie / Amerikietiškas pyragas su kakava ir kefyru
I love American pies so much that I could bake and eat them every day. They always come out so cute and beautiful like from those old, good American movies, when the housewife puts a pie on the windowsill (and eventually someone steals it). Or maybe it’s from the Simpsons or Tom and Jerry cartoons,…
Easy and Delicious Vegetarian Chili / Skanusis vegetariškas čili troškinys
Although I’m not vegetarian or vegan, but from time to time I like to have a dish without meat. Sometimes because of the curiosity, sometimes because I want to try old or new recipes without meat. And I would never have thought that chili could be so delicious even without meat! Indeed, if you don’t…
Fried Rye Bread, Carrot Salad and Salami Appetizer / Keptos duonos, morkų ir dešros sumuštinukai
One of my favorite appetizers! These fried bread sandwiches are addictive, and when you taste them, then you’ll understand why I say so. It is very convenient to prepare such sandwiches in advance for festive table, party or simply for the movie night. The appetizer can be kept in the fridge for up to 4-5…
Mashed Potato Dumplings / Virtos bulvinės bandelės
Soft, tender and super easy to prepare mashed potato dumplings. Confess to yourself, sometimes everybody wants to have such a homemade, satisfying dinner, at least once every few weeks. Although I usually eat my own prepared food, I only occasionally make Lithuanian, satisfying, potato dishes. But everytime I make it, my belly is always very…
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars / Minkšti sausainių kvadratėliai su šokoladu
These cookies bars are addictive. If you don’t want this addiction, you better not bake it at all 😀 You think I might just joke aroung, but after tasting one piece I guarantee that you won’t even notice how you eat second, third piece, and in some magical way all the bars will disappear. These…
Stuffed Eggplants with Ground Beef / Baklažanai įdaryti jautienos faršu ir pomidorais
New Year – new flavors and recipes! I rarely make eggplant dishes, but when the new year comes, I want to start using some new ingredients in my kitchen that is different from the usual. So for your attention – mister stuffed eggplant. I’ve never prepared an eggplant in such way. In the past, I’ve…
New Year’s Eve Appetizers / Užkandžiai Naujųjų metų vakarui
New Year’s Eve Appetizers / Užkandžiai Naujųjų metų vakarui Another year passed in a blink of an eye! I really can’t complain about 2019 because it was a really good year for me – active, fun, industrious and, as each year – had something exceptional. I’m very interested what 2020 will bring! And how…
Chocolate Caramel Cake “Snickers“ / Šokoladinis-karamelinis tortas „Snickers“
For the upcoming holidays, I’m trying out new desserts, pastries, and finally it is time to make the famous “Snickers“ cake. As always, I confess, it took me quite some time to get ready to bake this cake. First of all, each cake takes not only a lot of time and effort, but also nerves…
Pear Tart with Cream Cheese / Sluoksniuotos tešlos tarta su kriaušėmis ir kreminiu sūriu
I’m not a big fan of pear desserts, but this tart is so delicious and crispy that after you try one piece, you want to repeat one more and one more, and etc… The tart preparation is quite simple, even for those who don’t bake any cakes or pies. And you only need a few …
Juicy Yogurt-Marinated Roasted Chicken / Sultinga jogurte marinuota vištiena kepta orkaitėje
Another juicy chicken recipe in my archives 🙂 I really like chicken roasted in the oven as it can not only be served with various side dishes, but can also be used to make salad, sandwiches, wraps and etc. In other words, you can’t get bored of oven-baked chicken as fast as with other dishes,…
