Grilled Beef with Mint Marinade & Sauce



Most people cook meat week in, week out. Pork, lamb, beef, chicken – we all cook them. However, it can get fairly tricky not to fall into the routine of making your meat the exact same way every single time. A great idea to keep a nice amount of variety in the meat department is to use marinades and rubs.

Roast Pork with Plums & Apple Sauce


I have never been a fan of pork. I am all about white meat. Sometimes beef. But I never quite knew what to do with pork. However, I do like trying new things. So I took a traditional Polish recipe for preparing roast pork loin with plums and added my own twist to it (the marinade). It turned out quite delicious and will for sure land on our table quite regularly. It’s a keeper!

Apple Pie with a Twist


Fall has arrived! So far, here in Poland, the transition from summer into fall has been truly wonderful.

Time for warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream…

Quiche Again!

As I said before, I love quiche! It is the best choice if you have leftovers or some random ingredients in the fridge that you don’t really know what to do with. It is one of the simplest dishes you can make and good results are guaranteed.
