Chinese Chicken Drumsticks

My ideas for the dinner party often come too late, so I'm always in a hurry. This time, believe it or not, I have prepared the recipes a week before for this event. Pork is on the menu every time we meet with my family and I needed a little chicken touch. :-) This recipe is well known all over the world but as I do with all my recipes I've changed it a bit. :-) Now this recipe is more like Rosvitha's chinese chicken drumsticks.

Mac and cheese (with a little sprinkle of bacon)

There is so many varieties of this dish so I bring you one of mine. Of course, the tastiest one. :-) You need time just for cooking the macaronis or pasta (any sort you like) and in the meanwhile prepare the sauce. This is a quick lunch and the lunch that you can bring to work. The best thing is that you know exactly what it consists of. The others will be jealous and will ask for the recipe from you. Let this recipe be the trigger to new ideas for this meal, so give your own recipe!

Bell Pepper Peperonata

If you adore peppers just as I do, you will love this extra simple, a few ingredient dish. This is only a basic peperonata which can be enriched with a lot of seasoning or by adding onions, garlic, eggplant or 1-2 eggs to make a delicious and light meal. If you like it chili, use one tiny chili pepper to indulge yourself. Serving this delicious meal comes with mood... I was in a mood for chicken nuggets in a shape of a dinosaur. My son was so happy - for the dinosaurs - off course! :-)

Beef Stroganoff

This well known dish originates from the largest country on Earth - Russia! What kind of blog would this be if the Stroganoff Beef wouldn't be an ornament on it. It is a great pleasure to prepare this meal, not only for the commendation from my family and the special taste, I really enjoyed the simplicity of the popular dish.

Pork Paprikash

Paprikash is a one pot meal similar to goulash but with potatoes in it. Usually made with chicken meat, but this time I used pork meat to indulge my son's wish. He likes baby sized cubes of meat and potatoes but the original Pork Paprikash requires a bit larger shaped ingredients. It's easy to adapt to such a small bites meal...so sophisticated. :-)

Shepherd's Pie

This meat pie or casserole - also called Cottage Pie is very easy to make. It has a long history. Since the name of this pie is Shepherd's Pie, the lamb meat is necessary. There are a lot of people who aren't very fond of that kind of meat, but if some other meat is used the name of the pie must be changed...or we can be liberal and use any meat that we have at home :-)

Dill Sauce

Fresh herbs are so inspiring for making a lot of good and tasty meals. Dill is the most aromatic herb in my garden... grows so nicely anywhere I plant it and has a beautiful and attractive smell. When I make a saucy meal, I have to make a few different kinds of sauces - dill sauce, tomato sauce or cheese sauce.

What a nice day to prepare a quick lunch and go outside to spend the rest of the day strolling and enjoying the spring sunshine.

Now I can start my magic around the kitchen.

Empanadas are very practical meal for lunch, dinner or even for a dessert if you stuff them with something sweet. For this occasion, I have made pork filling and a little bit of cheese which melted and gave empanadas an extra taste.

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.

Broccoli Side Dish

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.

Fruit Pizza

You like pizza? Every kind of pizza? Me too! Just talking about pizza brings on my inspiration to bake one. Sometimes it comes out sweet, but most of the times salty wins. This time I used 2 kinds of plums. It came out sticky, sweet, sour and juicy... just the way we love it!

Cheesy Pillow Buns

I felt sleepy all day long. The pillow was my dearest friend, just because I haven't slept at night well. So, I connected nice and soft with my feelings and got these little pillows for dinner. Everyone was delighted and the buns were gone in a few minutes... But my sleepiness followed me all through the night and left me just before morning. That was a hell of a sleepy day :-)

Buy some fillo pastry leaves to make this easy crumple cottage cheese pie for breakfast or dinner. Taste is very similar to Balkan Burek Pie but easier, faster and not greasy at all.

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. Nevertheless, my own, homemade pizza is very tasty and when I bake it for dinner my family is happy. This Pizza is still warm and tempting, so I really have to go :-)
