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.

Almond chicken fingers

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 20:05:45 +0000

These chicken fingers are very good. A lot of spices are used in the recipe, but the combination is perfect. Only cayenne pepper you should add according to your taste. When I prepare this chicken to my children, I add only half of it, but in the original it is used twice as much. Fingers are prepared very quickly, and the most exciting thing that it doesn't need time to marinate, and later you don't have to stand near the pan. For your health - it's only for the good. We ate this chicken already many times, sometimes just as fast food - with some sauce and pickles or oven fried potatoes. This time we had it for dinner with some vegetable stew, ordinary enough, but still everything was good and we liked it.

Banana granola sugar-free and oil-free

Šeimos Virtuvė — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 18:00:14 +0000

nother name of this granola should be "It can't be more healthy" :) Now almost every sweet is too sweet for me, that's why I liked this granola - it has only a mild sweetness. But making this granola you should use really overripe banana.

Oatmeal with banana and nuts

Šeimos Virtuvė — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:30:23 +0000

This morning was cloudy so it was a good time to cook this oatmeal. My kids don”t like simple oatmeal (or I just think that I still didn”t learn to cook it tasty), so I decided to make a little bit sweet but still healty version. Banana gives mild sweetness and nuts adds some crunchy texture. In the original recipe walnuts are used, but we don”t like them so I changed them to hazelnuts. At the end my little one asked next time not to add nuts at all. So decide by yourself to use or not to use nuts in your oatmeal.

Chocolate chip cookies with nuts and apricots

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 18:51:52 +0000

The first time I baked these cookies with my daugther. They were very delicious and very sweet. So next time I used less sugar, but they spread less while baking. Here I give you proportions with less sugar because I like when cookies are cookies and not candies :) By the way, when I used hazelnuts my hubby said to leave them at home (didn’t let to take them to my work) :) So it says everything about the taste of these cookies.

Cocoa dusted hazelnuts

Šeimos Virtuvė — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 11:52:34 +0000

Once girls from Kaunas invited me to join small party called “50 cocoa shades”. I scrolled a lot of recipes and tried three of them, but only one was the one (others were good enough to eat, but just it). These nuts are very contagious – you start to nibble and forget to stop. They are not too sweet, you perfectly taste hazelnuts, so I liked them very very much.

Spicy almonds

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 01 May 2013 09:06:27 +0000

The first time I made them for Christmas presents, but they are really good, so sometimes I prepare them just for us. They good for a snack or next to the cold beer. The last time I made them I put just a little bit less cayenne pepper, and my kids enjoyed them too.

Chilled dough cookies with walnuts

Šeimos Virtuvė — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:10:00 +0000

I have no time to do nothing :) My job is taking all my time. Good news that it will not last forever. So I have no time to bake cookies or pies, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting some sweets. And these cookies are perfect – you can form a log and then put in a freezer for later bake, when you will have no spare time.

Šeimos Virtuvė — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:09:48 +0000

At last this hear I grew some rhubarbs. And baked this muffins in June, but they appear on my blog only now. Sorry :) These muffins are soft and I recommendto bake them in paper forms. I sprinkled some with cinnamon mixture, some didn’t. My hubby decided that with cinnamon is better. And I, cinnamon lover, can’t disagree with him :)

It was the first time when cake dissapeared so quickly. And even more – almost everyone asked for the recipe. :) I was really pleased. So I write down here the recipe without a queue (in the queue there are five more recipes).

I’m happy and proud. This cake is not just tasty but very cute :) It was made for my daughter’s 5th birthday. But presenting it only now because somewhere at this time my blog is celebrating 3 year old birthday and at the same time I celebrated my birthday anniversary. But this year birthday was different – I didn’t do anything, just celebrated :)

Cheesecake

Šeimos Virtuvė — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 17:24:29 +0000

This year we met at home only with kids. So the preparation for the evening wasn’t much. This cake in all recipe sources got a lot of compliments. I agree with them – it’s really good and simple. I used 26cm cake form. And I really suggest you to warm the mascarpone and condensed milk mixture, because if you won’t do it you’ll get lumps when you pour gelatine (Then I had to put the mixture in a warm bath and wait till mixture warms and lumps dissolve).
