Cabbage Puff Pastry Triangles

Okay so now you will love me because this is a sweet treat but still it is based on veggies! – Good theory, huh?! Seriously speaking, I made these cute cabbage triangles the other day to take some to my grandparents’ place, and my grandfather, who is quite a picky eater, with the (almost) empty … Continue reading

Easy As Pie: Apple Puff Pastry

It was the day of the “Reyes Magos” yesterday, and altough we are not celebrating it here in Hungary, I wanted to surprise my (Spanish) Mr with something. Turned out I chose his favourite pastry for the occasion! This is really a truly fast-easy-tasty recipe, if you choose the “lazy” store-bought puff pastry. Of course people with time … Continue reading

Cherry-Berry-Choco Muffins

I couldn’t imagine a better way to close the blogging year with these amazing muffins (or cupcakes, if you wish). I always use the same basic recipe, only changing the ‘extras’ like fruits, dried fruits, chocolate, spices, etc. Feel free to adjust the amounts! My all time favourite is the apple-cinnamon version, but this one … Continue reading

Orange-Garlic Chicken

This simple chicken recipe is a great way to put a festive meal on the table (not only on holidays).

Knorr Lasagne Bolognese

Here comes another big favourite for those rainy (or any other) days, from an incredibly simple and fast recipe (that you can actually find on the packaging itself of the Knorr Lasagne Bolognese). Oh, Unilever does not pay me for this post :p Still so far I find this the most delicious lasagna when you … Continue reading

Sour Cherry Cake

I have to admit this is one of my favourite cake recipes. When I first made it, it was an instant success and quickly made its way to the good old recipe collection. I love sour cherries and it is so easy to bring these few ingredients together to form this great treat (really, can … Continue reading

Banana Bread

This was a case of “what to do with the browned bananas” as they are normally destined to end up in a fruit shake. However this time I decided to try a nice recipe I found here: it seemed just as simple as delicious (I normally don’t like complicated recipes, if they are made up … Continue reading
