Pancake Coffee Cake

Dessert assembled with a bunch of pancakes fixed to each other with creamy coffee frosting and topped with chocolate ganache.

Unusual Cottage Cheese Bread

You need something quick to put on the table with a smell of the freshly baked homemade bread? Try this out!

Twisted Pastry Braid

So crunchy outside and soft inside with salty note of freshly baked pastry like the one in the bakery shop around the corner.

Doughnuts with Vanilla and Chocolate cream

It takes less than an hour for the dough and a few more minutes to serve it with anything you have at home.

Chocolate Filled Cocoa Sandies

Perfect little cookies for an afternoon snack in a garden. The kids would like them very much.

Oven Baked Doughnuts

I have used the same dough like for the doughnuts fried in a deep oil, but it came out so different. This one was baked in a muffin pan and it's not that greasy at all. Crusty outside, soft and bubbly inside...I love doughnuts! 
The cherry filling is perfect for such doughnuts...so refreshing and appetizing.

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. :-)

Strawberry Filling


I had an idea for making a delicious strawberry filling cake, but first the filling had to be made. It's nothing spectacular, just an ordinary fruit filling. I don't like to buy it in a store, because homemade is always the best! Fresh, nice and domestic strawberries were there on my table. Why wouldn't I make my own strawberry filling?

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 :-)

A Glass of Baileys Pudding

For grown ups only dessert won my respect a few years ago. I don't drink but Baileys is one of a kind, especially in dessert. Nicely combines with chocolate, nuts or whipped cream and the taste is extraordinary. Try it out and serve it to your friends just to see the positive outcome!


Vegan Spring Soup

This lite soup is made of spring vegetables that I could find on the market. Very easy to make and healthy. No fat at all and dairy products were avoided. Nice and mild taste prepares you for an upcoming meal. My stomach is extremely grateful for this treat - hope that your will be too.

Homemade Cherry Pie Filling


The cherry season has just started and I have a lot cherries in my garden. Good thing about it is that everyone in my family loves cherries in all sorts and variations on the table.When you have a lot, you need to figure out how to store them in order to be used through the whole year. My pattern is to put them in a deep freezer and deal with them as necessary. Off course, all of them pitted out...yes, a lot of work but it's much easier later.
