Avocado Salsa / Avokadų padažas
If only I have the opportunity and time, I always try to make my own sauce for fish or meat dishes, snacks or salads. Perhaps one thing you rarely find in my fridge is the sauce for salads or snacks. I just don’t like store bought sauces, that’s all. Of course, I always have a…
Easy and Quick Chocolate Chip Cookies / Lengvai ir greitai paruošiami amerikietiški sausainiai su šokolado gabalėliais

Salad with Sprats / Mišrainė su šprotais
I think sprat is often devalued as a fish. Everyone worships anchovies, puts them on salads, pizzas, etc. But it’s also very easy to make a quick sandwich, salad or any other snack with sprats. By the way, pizza with sprats is super tasty (if you haven’t tried one, I highly recommend to do it)….
Cauliflower and Cheese Patties with Homemade Tomato Sauce / Kalafioro ir varškės sūrio kotletai su naminiu pomidorų padažu
Cauliflower and cheese patties not only look very pretty, but they also almost surpass the usual meat patties.

Preparing a dish from cauliflower always…

Traditional Lithuanian Stuffed Cabbage Rolls / Tradiciniai balandėliai
If you translate Lithuanian word “balandėliai“ to English, you get simply pigeons. But it has another meaning too. It can be translated as two people in love, that share their love in a very gentle, loving way. “Balandėliai“ can also be translated as lovebirds. So, I guess now it makes more sense why I’m posting…

Vegan Indian Yellow Split Pea and Spinach Stew (Dhal) / Veganiškas, indiškas žirnių troškinys su špinatais (Dhal)
For me Indian dishes always associate with a wide variety of flavors and colors. Every Indian meal is like a new adventure. I don’t know how about you, but for me Indian cuisine seems so enchanting, mysterious and even a bit magical… Since I have grown up with only Lithuanian cuisine meals, which are seasoned…

Chicken and Apple Salad / Vištienos ir obuolio salotos
I like to roast chicken in the oven quite often, but sometimes you want that or not some of it will be a leftover. I think it doesn’t happen only to me. One of the options where to use roasted chicken is to make creamy chicken salad. And then it can be eaten however you…
