Cabbage and minced meat bake
Rather healthy and satisfying dish for cabbage lovers. My family liked it a lot, but I have to warn you – from the portions in the recipe you will make a lot of it. So if you want just to try it – make from half of the recipe.
Cherry tomato tart
Sometimes happens that you buy something and forget where you were planning to use it. The same happened with cherry tomatoes. So I used this easy recipe. I was surprised when my hubby liked it, because he doesn’t like basil and oregano.
Zucchini muffins with cheese
We like to eat these muffins for afternoon snack when we don’t want anything sweet. I make mini muffins so they are perfect for little children hands. They disappear very quickly.
Pillaf from Rustam
This is my favourite pillaf recipe. After I found it I don’t seek any new anymore. I like it because it doesn’t use tomato sauce or ketchup, because real tomatoes are used. But if you like ketchup, you can use it anyway. Sometimes I adapt recipe for my hubby and add only small carrot, sometimes I don’t add bell pepper at all. But sometimes I do everything by recipe, because I think proportions given are just perfect.
Ratatouilletarte or mini pies with vegetables
These mini pies are very delicious and warm, and cold. I thought I will miss meat, but I didn’t. I thought to bring them to work for lunch, but I couldn’t because we ate them all for breakfast…
