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…

Delicious Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps / Skanieji salotų laiveliai su azijietiška vištiena
This is one of my favorite appetizers! Crispy lettuce leaves go so well with lightly sweet&spicy fried ground chicken. Because such appetizer is low in calories, you can eat quite a few wraps without a big remorse. I fell in love with this appetizer in Asian restaurants, but I always wanted to try to prepare…

We all know what the Easter situation will be like this year, although I still think every home will have a smaller, but still beautiful Easter table. And the main foods of the festive table are always the main course, dessert, and, of course, tempting appetizers. This is exactly what these puff pastry cups are….
Honey Glazed Chicken Wings / Vištienos sparneliai su medaus padažu
It’s impossible not to overeat!!! I’ll admit, I’m a fan of fried wings. Whether the wings are baked in the oven or fried in a pan, covered with barbecue or sweet and sour sauce, and no matter if it’s spicy or not… I would eat any kind of chicken wings as long as they are…
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,…
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…
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…

New Year’s Eve Appetizers / Užkandžiai Naujųjų metų vakarui Another year passed in a blink of an eye!

And how…
Turkish Flat Bread (Pide) with Cheese, Tomato and Egg / Turkiška pidė su sūriu, pomidoru ir kiaušiniu
I’ve heard about Turkish pides a long time ago, but I’ve never had the chance to try them. Today was the day when I decided that I need to make my own Turkish flat bread at home and see how it tastes. Turkish pides can be made with a variety of toppings, including meat, vegetables,…
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…

You know that feeling when you are bored of all meat and fish dishes and you crave for something different, a new flavor? It is this Mexican appetizer that is the ideal choice in such a situation. For the first time, I tasted vegetarian tostadas at the “Taco Bell“. And I was very pleasantly surprised…
Ground Turkey Kofta Kabobs / Kalakutienos iešmeliai
Actually, I was thinking for a while how to call this dish. It’s like ground turkey burgers in the oven or they can be also called mini kabobs. Whatever is the name, these turkey skewers are very tasty, somewhat different, with a non-traditional taste, reminiscent of Middle Eastern dishes. Turkey kofta kabobs can be served…
