Mini cheese sandwiches are very tasty with a cup of morning tea or coffee, and when they get cold – they are perfect with salads, soups or just as a snack. I like these sandwiches since my childhood, because my mom used to make them. I enjoy them either still hot and cold. It’s a…

Easy Beef Tacos / Lengvai paruošiami takai su kepta jautiena
In my opinion, tacos are not yet sufficiently appreciated dish in Lithuania. It’s an extremely quick and simple snack-dinner, which takes a little time in the kitchen. The most important thing is that you can choose your favorite meat, ground or chopped, stewed or boiled. Tacos also go with a variety of vegetables and salsas….
Classic Spanish Custard – Natilla / Klasikinis ispaniškas desertas – Natilla
Natilla is a custard dessert that has a very mild flavor and light texture, and it requires only 6 ingredients to make. In Spain, you can buy this dessert at almost every store. The vanilla and chocolate flavors are most often found. I will make the last one the next time, because chocolate natilla resembles…
Chickpea and Bacon Stew / Avinžirnių troškinys su šonine
I’m making chickpea stews whenever I want a filling, but healthier stew option. The most important thing is that the stew can be cooked with a variety of meat and vegetables (very useful when you need to use leftovers in the fridge!). Specifically for this kind of stew you need just a few ingredients and…
Lithuanian Schnitzel with White Sauce / Šniceliai su balta duona ir padažu (kaip valgykloje!)
About 20 years ago, my grandmother used to take me to eat Lithuanian type of schnitzels at the canteen called “Eglė“ in Prienai (my hometown). Back then I thought that there was nothing more delicious in this world than that schnitzel… The fun time with my grandma and amazingly delicious schnitzel stayed in my memories…
Shrimp Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce / Makaronai su krevetėmis ir kreminiu grietinėlės-pomidorų padažu
I never say no to a plate of delicious pasta. I like pasta prepared in any way – with tomato sauce, with simply olive oil or creamy sauces. How do I decide to make my pasta depends on my mood. This time I wanted to have a creamy, delicious, yummy pink sauce with my pasta….
Mexican Tomato Salsa for Tacos and Nachos (Salsa de Tomate) / Meksikietiškas pomidorų padažas takams ir tortilijų traškučiams (Salsa de Tomate)
Those who like to go to the Mexican restaurants, you must have tried tomato salsa served with tortilla chips. I looove that salsa, and I love it so much that I also make it at home. When I found this recipe, it became my nr.1 tomato salsa suitable with a variety of snacks and, of…
Extra Moist Lemon Yogurt Bread with Glaze / Drėgnas citrininis jogurto keksas su glajumi
Amazingly soft, moist and very fresh flavor bread. And I promise that you will fall in love with it from the first bite!! I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of lemon desserts or cakes, but my husband is very fond of bread and pies with lemon, so from time to time I spoil…
Spanish Potato Salad with Tuna (Patatas Aliñadas) / Ispaniškos bulvių salotos su tunu (Patatas Aliñadas)
We all know, how spending time in the kitchen is not the favorite thing to do during summer, especially when it’s really hot outside. I am also one of those people, but I can’t eat just a leaf of lettuce and berries all summer long, I’m quickly getting bored of them, so when I want…
Super Soft and Fluffy Buttermilk Strawberry Pancakes / Neįtikėtinai minkšti ir purūs amerikietiški blyneliai su braškėmis
Ohhhh, I loooove these pancakes!!! I could eat them for breakfast, dinner and even have them as a dessert.. Even though I’ve tried american pancakes at more than one restaurant and dinning place in the USA (here it’s hard to imagine breakfast without them), but I’ve never had such soft and fluffy pancakes. I guarantee that…
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…
Quick Tomato and Bread Salad / Greitos pomidorų ir skrudinto batono salotos
In the summertime, my favorite fruit/vegetable is tomato. Nothing is more delicious than a fresh tomato just picked up from the garden. Mmm, that amazing aroma and taste… Just wonderful 🙂 Of course, the most delicious tomatoes are always from mom’s garden. Since I don’t have that in the US, I’m left with tomatoes from…
