The lentil soup with vegetables is not only very healthy, but also has a wonderful red / orange color. In fact, the taste of this soup is a bit like the tomato soup, because I used four tomatoes. Of course, you can choose vegetables of your own choice. You can use less tomatoes, bell peppers…

Strawberry, Mascarpone and Cream Cake / Braškių, maskarponės ir grietinėlės tortas
Every mom out there – congratulations with Mother’s Day!!! Although Mother’s Day in Lithuania and in the USA is celebrated on different Sundays (in Lithuania – the first Sunday in May, and in the USA – on the second Sunday), and since my mom lives in Lithuania, I celebrate Lithuanian Mother’s day. On that occasion,…

You know, sometimes I just want a simple, soft and tasty cake to have with my tea. And that the preparation wouldn’t take too long – mix the dough, put the fruits and then straight to the oven. This cake with condensed milk and peaches is just like that! Effortless and very delicious. In addition,…
Lithuanian Flour Dumplings (Little Hedgehogs) / Miltiniai ežiukai
Little flour “hedgehogs“ are probably every Lithuanian’s childhood food. In my family, they were mostly prepared by my grandmothers. And always just from flour. The recipe can’t be more simple – flour, water, oil and salt. Mix the dough, roll through the grater and drop into the pot. Voila, lunch or dinner is ready. And…
Chicken, Cucumber and Avocado Salad / Vištienos, avokado ir agurko salotos
This salad is ideal to use chicken leftovers. And if you don’t have the leftovers, rotisserie chicken from the supermarket works great as well. The salad is not only refreshing, but also filling. So it’s a very good combo for a light dinner, after which you won’t fell hungry. If you can’t get a fresh…
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…
Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs / Kiaušinių užkandis su rūkyta lašiša
Whoever loves deviled eggs, please, raise your hands! I like deviled eggs with mushrooms, meat, fish, cheese and so on. To be honest, whatever deviled eggs are on the table, my attention always goes towards them and I have to try them, that’s for sure. It’s a necessity! Of course, as Easter approaches, we all…
Creamy Flan Napolitano / Kreminis pudingas „Flan Napolitano“
After a short break, I came back to post again on my lovely blog. During the last few weeks I was busy moving because we moved from one place to another, so there was a lot of stuff to do while transferring all the items from point A to point B. Only when you move…
Peruvian Lentil and Beef Stew / Lęšių ir jautienos troškinys peruietiškai
Sometimes it’s really hard to come up with an idea for dinner. You can become bored with one or another meal pretty quick… And if you want to prepare something healthier, then you may end up with a headache. Although I rarely make dishes with lentils, I really look forward to make the stew according…
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
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…
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)….
