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 ;)

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.

Minced meat and cheese bake

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 05:58:46 +0000

This dish is perfect when you have minced meat prepared for meat balls but you don’t want to stand near the pan. It can be prepared in advance and put in a refrigerator. Then even my hubby can bake it. My family just loves this bake, maybe it’s because of the cheese, but I love it because of it’s simplicity.

Quick Christmas fruit cake

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:42:55 +0000

This one was a little bit too sweet for me, but with unsweetened coffee it was great. You can substitute dried fruits with you favourites. For example I substituted some prunes with dried apricots and dates, also some of raisins substituted with dried cranberries. It’s really your choice and use all your dried fruit reserves.

Cranberry vitamins

Šeimos Virtuvė — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 16:28:18 +0000

We all dream about spring, but winter is still here, and all deseases are still here. So I suggest to make this vitamin mixture and be really healthy till the warm days will come. It takes only minutes, and tastes wonderfully. Especially if you don’t like citrus fruit bitterness in other the same kind vitamin mixtures.

Boiled potato pancakes with cabbage filling

Šeimos Virtuvė — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 07:45:22 +0000

Bored of eating potatoes and cabbages? Don’t know what to do with them? This is the solution I found yesterday on the internet. It’s a little bit time consuming, but it’s cheap. A day before a boiled potatoes and an egg, braised cabbage with onion. So the next day I had only to form pancakes and bake. My hubby was nicely surprised with the taste, and I – with the smell (I remember it from my childhood).

Chicken and rice salads with curry

Šeimos Virtuvė — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:21:15 +0000

I decided to prepare something new for our already boring quick menu. This dish is very quick, if you do like me – boil chicken a day before. My hubby commended. I asked him maybe the dish is so good because almost all the week we ate what we had on hand? But he assured that no and ate almost everything, leaving just a few bites for my next day lunch… You can enjoy these salads and cold, and warm.

Chili con carne

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:29:38 +0000

Mexican minced meat and bean chilli. Can be prepared very quickly. We were afraid that beans will blanket out other ingredients, but we were wrong and I am glad about that. We wanted something hot, and we got it :)

Chicken and buckwheat stew

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:17:04 +0000

Sad, but true… I have to go to work again… After more than two years of vacations. But let’s look at everything from another point of view – I have to think what to take to work for lunch and what to prepare for very quick dinner. Also from now on I can bake more sweets because to drink coffee gathers many girls :) But let’s talk about this dish. I boiled buckwheats yesterday, so today I made everything in 15 minutes. You can call this dish stew or cereal with chicken :) We’re not used to eat buckwheats with meat, but this new taste was good :) Just my hubby wanted grated cheese on top and maybe some chili :)
