Cinnamon Rolls



Who doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked goods early in the morning?! I sure do. These cinnamon rolls you can make the night before and bake the next morning. Perfect!

Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Glaze


It’s pumpkin time! It’s time for Halloween, pumpkin carving, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies! I always buy 1 big pumpkin at the beginning of the season, cut up the edible part into cubes and freeze them in different sized zip lock bags. This always encourages me to find new recipes with pumpkin in them. Pumpkin soup is always a must for me during the Halloween season! But let me start with pumpkin cookies.

Curry Tortillas


Perfect for lunch, as a snack or a starter. I realize there is nothing really innovative about this dish, it is ridiculously simple and easy to make, but it’s always an idea that maybe some people reading this haven’t thought of yet.

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. Beautiful sunlight, mild temperatures, colorful trees, and that typical smell of autumn in the air. My favorite time of year. And what about food? Of course! Apple season has started! 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.

Spaghetti with Caramelized Onion

When I found this recipe I was immediately drawn to it, because it was something new, something I had not tried before. I would never have come up with this combo myself. But it is a great one!

Simply Burgers!

Need I say more? I don’t think so. So I’m gonna keep it real short this time. This is just to give you an idea of how to make really tasty, not necessarily unhealthy, home-made burgers – the real deal. So simple, so delicious…I’m lovin’ it.
