Very filling and autumn-like stew that a whole family will definitely enjoy. The reason why I call this stew autumn-like, it’s because the main ingredients are often used in our kitchens during the fall season – pumpkin and beans. In addition, the stew is a very beautiful, orange color, so the bowl of the stew…

Easy Beef Tacos / Lengvai paruošiami takai su kepta jautiena
In my opinion, tacos are not yet sufficiently appreciated dish in Lithuania. It’s an extremely quick and simple snack-dinner, which takes a little time in the kitchen. The most important thing is that you can choose your favorite meat, ground or chopped, stewed or boiled. Tacos also go with a variety of vegetables and salsas….
Chickpea and Bacon Stew / Avinžirnių troškinys su šonine
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…
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…

Ground Turkey Tacos / Takai su kalakutienos faršu
Usually I make tacos when I have very little time in the kitchen and when I want a fast and light dinner. Tacos are also great for a couple other reasons – they are so easy to prepare and they go with a variety of vegetables and sauces. By the way, instead of ground turkey,…
Mexican Salsa Ranchera / Meksikietiškas pomidorų padažas „Salsa Ranchera“
I absolutely love homemade sauces and salsas. No matter what kind of sauce or salsa it is, any made at home just can’t be compared to any bought from the store. These are just two incomparable things. If I make tacos, enchiladas or other similar Mexican dishes, I always try to prepare at least a…
Dominican Stewed Chicken / Troškinta vištiena Dominikos stiliumi
How many flavors are spreading in the kitchen, when chicken is stewing with lots of spices! It’s like if you would actually be in Dominica 😉 Well, at least I’m imaging that somewhere in Dominica, in a cozy kitchen, the housewife is preparing this dish for her family and enjoying not only all flavors, but…
Sopa Azteca – Mexican Tortilla Soup / Sopa Azteca – meksikietiška tortilijų sriuba
Sopa Azteca is a very interesting, extremely delicious and very easy to prepare soup.

Mexican Fritters – Buñuelos / Meksikietiški traškūs paplotėliai – Buñuelos
In Mexico buñuelos are mostly prepared during the Christmas period, but I made them after all the holidays (because there is no bad time to make sweets :)). These fritters very much resemble the Lithuanian anthill, but it takes more time to prepare anthill, since each fritter is dipped into sweet syrup and the fritters…
