I simply love roasted pork tenderloin prepared like this. In general, I like roasted pork, so this dish is super yummy to me. It’s really rear that someone would prepare pork tenderloin in US like this, but in Lithuania, at least my mom often makes pork tenderloin similar to this recipe. She often chooses vegetables…

Majorcan Cabbage Soup (Sopa Mallorquina) / Malijorkietiška kopūstų sriuba (Sopa Mallorquina)
Well, how many of you buy a cabbage and a poor vegetable stays in a fridge for a day, two, or maybe a week..? It happens to me sometimes. And it just so hard sometimes to make up what to do with it. I was thinking to make cabbage rolls, but they take so long…
Parmesan Chicken / Vištienos kepsniai su parmezano plutele
Finallyyyyy I’m writing my beloved blog again! I say “Hi“ to all of you who have missed me (and those who didn’t really) after a long vacation. If you’re following me on Instagram, you probably noticed that I was in Lithuania and several places in Europe as well. I haven’t been to Lithuania for almost…
Lazy Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls / Tinginių balandėliai keptuvėje
Lithuanian cuisine is hardly imaginable without zeppelins (a.k.a potato dumplings) as well as without stuffed cabbage rolls (in Lithuanian they are called balandėliai (little pigeons)). And I, as a sworn Lithuanian cuisine fan, am a stuffed cabbage roll lover. Well, but the whole preparation process of stuffed cabbage rolls sometimes simply takes forever… Starting of cabbage…
Potato, Farmer’s Cheese and Sausage Pancakes / Bulviniai blynai su varške ir dešrelėmis
This is an improved potato pancakes recipe, which serves very well when you want a delicious and more interesting dinner or lunch. Pancakes, of course, are the most delicious when served with sour cream, but Greek yoghurt or fresh yoghurt dressing with cucumbers would fit great too. I grated potatoes using two types of graters…

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…
Baked Whistlers (Švilpikai) / Švilpikai orkaitėje
Whistlers are one of the dish that I’m crazy about and I could eat it for several days in a row 🙂 Because of this, mostly, when I cook them, I always double the portion, that it would be enough for a few days. My husband is also a big fan of this dish (I’m…
Vegetarian Spanish Rice (Arroz Viudo) / Vegetariškas ryžių troškinys ispaniškai (Arroz Viudo)
For a day without meat – vegetarian Spanish rice. Very simple to make, doesn’t need much effort and time. That’s why I am so fascinated by Spanish dishes, because preparation doesn’t take a lot of time (well, unless you are making paella, then it takes a little longer..), and for most dishes you need just a…
Sopa Azteca – Mexican Tortilla Soup / Sopa Azteca – meksikietiška tortilijų sriuba
Sopa Azteca is a very interesting, extremely delicious and very easy to prepare soup.

Whatever kind of Latin American restaurant you visit in the US, you will always find at least a couple types…
