I really like caramel. Ice cream with caramel, cakes with caramel, pies with caramel, etc… All desserts flavored with caramel are simply much tastier. Please don’t think I don’t like chocolate. Obviously, everything tastes better with chocolate, but sometimes I think caramel is a completely underrated flavor… Caramel used in America is usually with some…

Brown sugar bacon BLT sandwich / Sumuštinis su karamelizuota šonine
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…
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…
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…
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…
The Best Chocolate Cheesecake / Skaniausias šokoladinis kreminio sūrio tortas (Cheesecake)
Melting in your mouth chocolate dessert!!! Do you know what is it like to think all day about a wonderful piece of chocolate cake which you saw somewhere at the store, on TV or on the internet? If you dream about it, but you are hesitant to bake such a cake at home, I will…
The Best Georgia Gold Chicken / Traški vištiena su skaniuoju garstyčių padažu
The most important thing in this recipe is sweet and sour mustard sauce. It just tastes so unbelievably good with fried chicken strips. And also those pickle slices on the side.. Mmm.. A fairy tale, not a life. And you don’t need anything more – just fried chicken, sauce and pickles. Overeating is guaranteed! Of…
Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce / Sūrio tortas (Cheesecake) su aviečių uogiene
Cheesecake is one of those desserts that requires some patience… While it’s baking, while cooling down and while cooling in a fridge. But at the end the taste overcomes the long waiting time! Mmm, such a creamy, sweet, delicious cake will make everyone crave for it. Raspberry sauce gives to the cake a light, refreshing…
Easy and Quick Chocolate Chip Cookies / Lengvai ir greitai paruošiami amerikietiški sausainiai su šokolado gabalėliais
I have a weakness for American cookies. Here it is, I confess that. I could probably eat a whole oven pan of American cookies by myself… And not only could I eat that much of them, but it’s a pleasure for me to bake these cookies. So fast and easy! It doesn’t surprise me that…
