Chanterelles with oven roasted potatoes

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 23 Aug 2016 06:49:47 +0000

To tell the truth, this dish last year ate even my hubby! And agreed that it not only looks great, but taste the same way too. To bake potatoes in the oven takes time, so sometimes I change them with boiled potatoes. However, if you are not in hurry, you should really try to bake them in the oven. It is more tasty that way.

Hearts and carrot stew

Šeimos Virtuvė — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:20:15 +0000

If the past time was a healthy recipe, now it's the cheap one. After all, you need to have all kinds of options. I made this stew for three times because we couldn't decided we like it or not. The second time I made it, carrots had too strong taste and we didn't like it. So choose young, crisp and tasty carrots and everything will be fine. Our children do not eat this sort of misunderstandings , so me and my hubby enjoyed it for lunch. And the last time it was so delicious that we ate more than we should. :)

Beetroot, cashew and feta salads

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 11 Oct 2015 09:13:14 +0000

Don't know why but this autumn I'm hooked on beetroots. Every weekend I boil some beetroots and through the week I incorporate them in our dishes. And then story repeats. When I wanted for dinner something light, I prepared these salads. By the way, this recipe in the book is called carpaccio, but I think it's more salads, and the name is more usual and not so fancy :) . Family girls enjoy them, the big boy ate them and just said that more balsamic vinegar would be better, and the little boy as always, prepared some theater and then ate them, just without enjoyment. So I remember these salads as they are fit for girls :) And I prepared very similar salads with hazelnuts, and they were very good too. So as always - don't be afraid to experiment and correct ingredients by your refrigerator or cupboard products.

Pork medallions in Maggi Papyrus with healthy salads

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 13 Apr 2014 08:58:37 +0000

Next to the pork medallions I served some healthy salads which I saw yesterday in one of my magazines. It was simple and almost everything was already in my refrigerator. We enjoyed them a lot, even my kids ate them (with some motivation – some candies in front of them, which were kids if they eat all salads). Me and my hubby agreed that these salads would be grate even without meat, because roasted sunflower seeds were so good in these salads. So we’ll be making them soon for sure again.

Minced pork and green beans stew in whole grain pita

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 08 Apr 2014 11:20:03 +0000

This stew is very simple and cassual. Here pitas are as turbo feature :) But they are not necessary. Just we love them and time after time I bake them. Next time we will make some yoghurt sauce with seasoning. Then the dish would be perfect. And this time we thought about the sauce only in the end.

Minced meat and cabbage pie with curry and apples

Šeimos Virtuvė — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 14:01:34 +0000

This pie may look strange at first, but we tried it twice and we liked it. Apples gives sweet and Tabasco – spicy tastes. And this pie doesn’t require eggs, so the filling is not so solid but it’s not crumbly also. I and my son liked the pie crust – it’s with whole wheat flour, so it crumbles a little bit more than usual with only white wheat flour, but it has some charm in it.

Braised green peas with carrots

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:30:34 +0000

This recipe looks so simple, but we found it just this year. And it’s already in top of our favourite recipes. Maybe for someone there’s nothing new, but me and my hubby didn’t eat this dish in our childhood, so it’s new for us. Now when we need quick dinner or supper, we braise all frozen vegetables the same way, and always it comes out really very very delicious.

Beet and tuna salads

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 15:56:30 +0000

One more salads that are very good in autumn or in winter or anytime while don’t have any fresh greens. You can mix everything in a bowl, but I think it’s beautiful and more quick to serve them layered in plates. The next day I prepared them without tuna, and they got a lot of compliments from my kids.

Crispy coleslaw

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 17:29:23 +0000

For a few years I was looking for cabbage salads that my family enjoyed. And this is the one – I made them maybe 5 times or more. The secret I think is celery. Remember, we don’t like it, but this time I think it’s essential. So I want to remember these salads till the next autumn or winter and that’s why I add the recipe here – the safest place for the recipes I know :)

Chicken breast with homemade tomato sauce

Šeimos Virtuvė — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 08:10:27 +0000

Sometimes even when at home there is only a few products, you still can prepare satisfying meal. For this one you only need to buy canned tomatoes and chicken breast, other products – I guest almost everyone have at home. But I have to tell you this time you will have to spend some time preparing tomato sauce, but it’s worth that. I like it even more than store bought. But my kids don’t agree with me :) But everyone has the right to choose.

Belarusian potato latkes

Šeimos Virtuvė — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:04:45 +0000

There are days when no egg are left in a refrigerator, and no one wants to go shopping. But this recipe comes to the rescue – these latkes are without egg. The taste doesn’t change from our ordinary potato latkes with eggs. So I add this recipe here that I didn’t forgot about this opportunity.

Pillaf from Rustam

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:47:26 +0000

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.
