Do you know that aroma? That one telling you stories about summer? The smell of the sun at noon. The smell of green oats. Fresh red wild strawberry juice running through your palm. Smell of blackberries and grass. Every one of them and all of them. Once upon a time… but, really, when I … [Read more…]
Recently, I have had the unpleasure to participate in discussions about overweight. It was really uncomfortable, because the couch professionals throw themselves like hungry piranhas at anyone who does not meet their requirements. If you only mention that you are overweight, immediately every Uncle-Good-Advice and every Auntie-I-Know-Better in the area hurrying with advice and … [Read more…]
I’m very bad at blogging lately. It’s like at least one of us is sick, and then camera refuses to cooperate, and then there is a new game or book, TV series or movie to watch, real life shows fangs and demands attention. So I disappear from the blog for weeks, then I come … [Read more…]
I thought really long (and hard, and almost broke my brain :P) about posting this recipe. It’s so simple, so easy, so… cliche. And yet, simple, but requires a little work and time. It is easier to go down or to the corner store and buy yogurt than mix, combine, fight with bacterias. You … [Read more…]
I was trying to make haupia as a dog playing with a hedgehog. I can’t, I have not enough coconut milk. I can’t, it’s too late, and I try, for sure, tomorrow. I can’t, it’s too hot and I do not want to stand in the kitchen now (haupia requires constant stirring). And … [Read more…]
I noticed that I had no major problems in adapting the menu to the rules, which I wrote about in the January post. I have problems after workout. I come back tired from the gym and… I need, I crave something to eat. It’s the easiest way to come back into old … [Read more…]
Fat Thursday is just around the corner and the web is teeming with donuts, faworki or carnival roses. Madness seized even people that I know that don’t like donuts. But “it’s tradition”, they dismiss with a shrug. Internet is full of tempting offers. Just one. Baked, not fried. Without eggs. Without milk. Without yeast. Without … [Read more…]
I cooked too much lentils. I always forget that it increases its volume more than doubled. And one cup cooked … which got well over 2 cups. What to do? I do not like wasting food. I do not like throwing it away. I’m always angry at myself when I cook too much, because … … [Read more…]
Do you have this one dish, without which you can not imagine the holidays? Carp? Fish in Greek sauce? Borscht with dumplings? In my home, this dish is kutia. Always prepared with grains of wheat. I already met recipes with rice, pearl barley or even pasta, but none of these substitutes will not allow to … [Read more…]
Some time ago I mentioned that I’m becoming friendly with cauliflower. And it is undervalued vegetable. Mostly overcooked and served with panko cread crumbs. Or as addition to the vegetable soup. Unwanted. Disliked. Distasteful. And yet it’s graceful vegetable, beautifully blends in almost every spice, perfectly replace mashed potatoes (just follow this recipe). Great in … [Read more…]
