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.

White beans and dried tomato salads

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sat, 02 Apr 2016 18:20:37 +0000

Once I made these salads and it was something new. Maybe it tasted not so usual to us, but it was really good. And now I made these salads for four times and they still disappear very quickly. So I save the recipe here and recommend to try them you too.

Cottage cheese and boiled potato bake

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 17:53:35 +0000

Potatoes and cottage cheese - it's always a great company. So why not to combine them in to a bake. It can be prepared within a few minutes. I found this recipe in Russian magazine about child-caring, but significantly changed by our observations: original recipe asks to slice the potatoes, but we prefer grated because it distributes better; original asks to pour more milk, we prefer the more eggs, and this bake comes out stronger. For us our experimentations came out super tasty. So, honestly, I urge you to try it too ;)

Strawberry smoothie with quinoa

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:34:05 +0000

I do not know how it is in your family, but in mine quinoa didn’t find its way to our stomach. On the other hand, I should say, until now. Because no recipes that I have tried before were enjoyed, and this smoothie was gone quicker than I said “It’s with quinoa”. So the next day I made it again, and ask if anyone wants to drink it, and both kids shouted “YES!!!”. Therefore, you understand why I add this smoothie recipe here

Pumpkin granola with chocolate chunks

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 14:55:55 +0000

Usually I make granola in summer, when it's hot outside and no one wants to eat porridge. But when last week I tried new recipe for granola bars and I had only crumbs, my kids ate it just like usual granola for breakfast. And then they asked to make more granola. So I make my favourite at this moment granola. Kids' favourite granola will have to wait a little bit. They enjoy this granola too, just for them I had to add chocolate with more sugar.

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.

Bean salads with pickles and sausage

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:48:14 +0000

Again my refrigerator is empty, so I boiled some beans. Now for a few days we enjoy them with meat or vegetable stew, or with pasta, or just simply with fried onions and tomatoes. Today I decided to make this salads. I've made them before and it left good memories, so I guess it's time to show them for you too. Today I made them with my proportions, so this is how I liked them most. We ate all four, and everyone liked them. Just to mention, I used some smoked ham and I really recommend to use it too. It gives strong but good taste.

Turkey and rice stew with carrots and green peas

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:05:43 +0000

It's really very simple stew and seasonings play here the main role. So you should use the ones that your family loves and the quantities that are good for you. Make experiment and enjoy it! As you can guess you can substitute turkey with chicken. We tried it already and we didn't noticed the difference.

Home-made burger with Havarti cheese

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 17:34:42 +0000

When outside is so hot that no one wants to cook, but you get hungry anyway. Thus, in the late evening, when the weather began to cool down at least a little bit, we heated our hand-made grill and cooked burgers. Meat preparation is described below, and then all is left - to make your burgers to your taste and preferences. We used rolls, lettuce, tomato slices, several kinds of sauces and of course cheese. Burgers turned out incredibly tasty, perhaps because of the cheese, maybe because of grilled rolls, or maybe just because we did them at home after a very long break. They tasted even better than those bought for sure.

Cottage cheese and zucchini bake

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 16:30:56 +0000

I make this bake with my first zucchini that grew in our garden. In my archive I didn't find the recipe that I could follow, so I fantasized a little bit and make bake with cottage cheese and zucchini. My family enjoyed it a lot. And even when I baked it again, all disappeared in one sitting. So please, bake and enjoy it too!
