When I first came to America, I couldn’t believe how much Americans love sandwiches. They could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some like completely simple sandwiches with a slice of ham, cheese and mayonnaise, or simply spread some peanut butter and jam on a white bread, while others prepare or order giant sandwiches…

Super Soft Braised Honey Chicken Wings / Vištienos sparneliai kinietiškai
Soft, juicy and lightly sweet – these are the chicken wings braised in a skillet. Although I usually bake chicken wings in the oven, because it is simply the easiest and most convenient way (I admit, sometimes I’m lazy), but after I prepared wings this way in a skillet with a thick honey-soy sauce, I…
Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting / Šokoladiniai keksiukai su riešutų sviesto kremu
As this year is going towards the end very fast, I always wonder where and how that year went. It seems just recently everyone celebrated New Year, and now it’s almost the end of Octobe ?! Well, of course, this year was really “special”. The quarantine weeks seem to have simply dissapeared and flew by…
Mango Cheesecake / Kreminio sūrio ir mangų tortas (Cheesecake)
Creamy mango cheesecake is a real king of summer desserts. Ripe, bright yellow and sweet mango is one of my favorite fruits, and the cake made using two such mangoes and cream cheese is indescribably soft, light in texture and so delicious! And since the cake has shredded coconut, then we get a fantastic, sunny…
Mini Lemon Cheesecakes with Blueberry Swirl / Mini citrininiai kreminio sūrio pyragėliai su mėlynių džemu
Wonderful taste and aroma mini cheesecakes. There is nothing better when you open a fridge and there are such beautiful cakes in front of you. Then whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can say “yes“ at any time to such a dessert. These mini cheesecakes can definitely replace a birthday cake – yes, they’re…
Oven Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites / Orkaitėje kepti kalafioro kąsneliai su Buffalo padažu
I don’t buy cauliflower very often, maybe once every couple months, and if I make something from it, it is usually cauliflower bites fried in breadcrumbs. I used to love so prepared cauliflower, but now I’m pretty bored of such cauliflower, that’s why many times I simply skip cauliflower at the grocery store. But recently,…
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,…
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…
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…
Soft and Moist Blueberry Buttermilk Bread / Drėgnas ir minkštas kefyro keksas su mėlynėmis
If you have been dreaming of a soft, moist and delicious piece of sweet bread for a while, you have just landed on the right web page, where you can find the recipe for such a bread. I think it’s not only me, but it happens to everyone once in a while, that you start…
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies / Avižinių dribsnių ir juodojo šokolado sausainiai
I love cookies so much that I will have to publish a cookie recipe book someday in this life. Probably one of the most important reasons I like cookies is that they are QUICKLY made. You mix the dough, form the cookies, 15-20 minutes, and you can take them from the oven (if I’m dying…
Meatballs in Barbecue Sauce / Mėsos kukuliai barbekiu padaže
Meatballs can be prepared in so many ways. I think a lot of us have cooked little meatballs simply in the frying pan, or stewed them in a light sauce, or just cooked them in soup. But have you made meatballs in barbecue sauce? With barbecue sauce, meatballs really get a whole different taste and…
