Most of the recipes that I make have some kind of story behind them. It might not be super exciting, but it’s still a story. And the story behind this particular recipe is Maple Syrup. Last Friday my colleague sent me a link to this sticky chicken. It looked delicious and I wanted to make…
Farmers Cheese Cookies
When I was little I loved leafing through my mom’s recipe book. I recognized some recipes and some were foreign since I did not remember eating them. Back in Russia (or shall I say Soviet Union) it was quite normal to leave child home alone. It did not happen too often for me, but I…
Peanut Butter Molasses Cookies
Confession time: I get obsessed very easily. TV shows, internet sites, activities – I get very easily addicted. I can lose hours browsing Pinterest or solving puzzles. I may or may not have watched first four seasons of True Blood in just a few short weeks… Ummm… Anyway… I also get addicted to books. Which, in…
Meatballs with Rice aka Hedgehogs
The very first time I told my husband that we’d be having hedgehogs for dinner he looked at me funny. I bet he thought that I finally had a breakdown and need to take a few days (weeks, months) to stay home and get better. Well, I had to promise him that I was, in…
Jalapeño Poppers Grilled Cheese
Over the last couple of weeks I had two of my posts featured by Finding Vegan. It was my recipe for Vegan Peanut Butter and Banana Muffins and Best-Ever Chocolate Vegan Cake. It was super exciting seeing the spike in visitors and subscribers to my site, my Facebook page and my Twitter account. And now…
Ricotta-Rice Cakes
Oh life, sometimes you get in the way of… hmmm… life… It’s been a busy week at work. Actually, it’s been three really busy weeks at work and there are still a few more frantic weeks to come. The plan was to post this on Thursday, but things happened, not nice words were mumbled, car…
Easy Tomato Sauce
I have to confess – I don’t like tomato sauce. I don’t hate it, but if there’s a choice, I wouldn’t have it. I almost always choose cream or oil based sauces for pasta. I prefer non-tomato based soups. And even if there’s a choice between red or white pizza, I’ll usually choose white. Although,…
Peanut Butter and Banana Vegan Breakfast Muffins
Remember the story of Benny the Bunny? Well, he’s been coming to our backyard a few times a week for over a month now. Once he even brought his girlfriend for a play date. There he was, Benny the Bunny and Bonny the Bunny jumping and playing and running around. My cats were very amused…
Sweet and Spicy French Toast
Sometimes I am all organized in terms of what I am going to cook during the week. I account for main courses, leftovers, lunches, sides, vegetables. And sometimes life gets in the way and I end up on Friday night with a fridge full of eggs, bread, milk and chicken… And no will to cook….
Chicken with Prunes
When I was 10 or 11 years old, almost all the girls in my class had a notepad that would have a question on each page, then we’d give this book to someone else in the class and they’d write their answers and give it back to you. There was really no reason for it,…
