Indian Butter Chicken / Indiška vištiena pomidorų ir grietinėlės padaže “Butter chicken“

During the lockdown period, I am not very fond of ordering food from restaurants… I still don’t feel that much lazy in the kitchen that I couldn’t cook my own food. Therefore, I’m not only cooking regular meals, but also trying new recipes at the same time. I have made Indian chicken “Tikka masala” more…

Chicken and Rice Soup / Vištienos sriuba su ryžiais ir daržovėmis

Traditional Lithuanian No Bake Lazy Cake / Tradicinis tinginys su pienu

This is a recipe for a traditional lazy cake that needs the simplest ingredients – cookies, milk, cocoa and sugar. I make such lazy cake quite rarely, because most often I’m really lazy to make chocolate syrup from milk, it is easier and faster to make it from condensed milk. But the taste of this…

Indian Style Potatoes and Cauliflower (Aloo Gobi) / Bulvių ir kalafiorų troškinys indišku stiliumi (Aloo Gobi)

I am very fond of Indian cuisine for quite some time now. First of all, because of the spices used in Indian cuisine – the aroma of each dish is so tempting and it’s not only a delight to the eyes but also to the stomach. Besides, in Indian cuisine, the same sauce or seasoning…

No one would resist these beauties. At least I simply couldn’t… How can you resist when you open the fridge door and have such wonderful cupcakes in front of your eyes?!

Vegan Guacamole and Roasted Veggie Sandwich / Veganiškas sumuštinis su keptomis daržovėmis ir gvakamole

The idea of this sandwich was born spontaneously when I wanted a light, quick and healthy lunch. Usually I choose a hearty meal for lunch, but a couple of these sandwiches were enough to get full and I didn’t even want meat (and that’s really bizarre!). In fact, ciabatta bread, guacamole, toasted tomatoes, onion and…

Fried rice is delicious with all sorts of ingredients, but lately I can’t get enough of this version of fried rice with cabbage, pork and onion.

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.
