When I need something lite and creamy for lunch, I just make this magnificent creamy soup to indulge my cravings. It's not complicated to make it and it's my choice what to put inside.

Hungarian Crepes

Do you like sweetened cottage cheese? Well, this is an extra, unforgettable specialty from Hungary. OK, when I make crepes, the ideas of the stuffing are just coming to me so quickly that I can't decide which one to use. This is the most common in our house, but not liked by everyone. So, I have to make salty as well, to indulge the other members of the family.

Leek Salad in 7 minutes

There is no holiday without this tender and refreshing salad! Perfectly matches with all kinds of meat and can be used like a side dish. I just have to mention that leeks are not that strong like onions and the taste in your mouth goes away quickly - that is why I love them beside the crunchiness that lasts.

So healthy and tasty broccoli side dish should be made more often. My husband is not a fan of this meal but my son likes it more. This was the perfect way to make my son to eat this vegetable.

Oven Baked Panzerotti

Sometimes I don't feel well after deep fried panzerottis so I have searched for a little less greasy ones. The taste certainly depends on the filling or stuffing but these panzerottis from the oven have a slightly different taste. Nice dinner with less fat.

Snowflake Rolls

Yes, yes, the Halloween is coming up and I still haven't made anything appropriate according to standards. Well, this year, I will bake everything but pumpkin cakes! In our house, this date will be considered for democratic Holiday - everybody can say what cake they wish and it will be my command. Anyway, nobody here likes pumpkin that much.

These are the perfect rolls for a dessert. Quick to make, no yeast, stuffed with things you like and soft as a pillow. I don't know how this recipe got lost in the bunch of all the other crappy recipes. It doesn't belong there at all. Maybe, I misunderstood the ingredients or I thought of them as hard and not tasty at all. How wrong I was!

Ischler Cookie Sandwiches

These cookies have a long tradition in Austrian cuisine and have reached distant regions of the world by their cuteness and flavor.

Who can wait for 2 hours storing in the fridge? Well, there are more varieties of these cookies, from chocolate creamed, or cheesy creamed, or jelly (all sorts), even lemon creamed... but this one is the best! Try it out and let me know, what is your favorite variety.

NEXT »

Thin Waffles

Light and crisp waffles can be a nice dessert after lunch, quick and fresh breakfast or can play cookies beside tea at tea-time.

No bake Pecan Bars

So many words can be said for this sweet dessert and I don't know where to start. Sweet, creamy, fast, delicious, small bites, chocolaty...Oh, in one word perfect :-) Every cake with pecans is appetizing in a special way. Pecans can bring excitement in you and with all those vitamins and minerals is on the top of ingredients list that I like to use in my kitchen. Somehow, when I prepare something without this gorgeous nut I get the feeling of emptiness in a cake or dessert and I ask myself what it would be like enriched with chopped or milled pecans.

I've got this recipe for a long time and I've used it millions of times. Every time I bake these croissants they look, smell and taste the same.

My family is crazy about them, especially for the various stuffing I come up with..."what's in them?" - Oh, question asked every time..but, with a reason!

My mom likes them plain and crusty and I must say everybody likes them different, so I always make a questionnaire to see the path I should take :-)

Always buy extra milk chocolate chips for your son. :-) Little pecan cookies with spots of milk chocolate chips can be stored for a week if someone doesn't eat them :-)

Homemade Pizza

Homemade pizza has a slightly different taste than one made in a pizzeria. The taste of yeast makes it different. I have tried to bake pizza using the bakers dough from the bakery and the taste became very much similar to the real one.
