Sweet Potato Soup – Cooking Efficiently for Families with Babies
Sometimes I feel that I spend twice the time cooking our meals nowadays. It’s always about preparing unsalted and unsweetened food for our nine month old baby while making our regular meals. I’ve been trying to get more efficient at this lately and come up with simple and healthy recipes, perfect for our nine-month old […]
Semolina Dumplings Soup
While I’m learning how this motherhood thing works I’m also trying to come up with healthy baby foods for my 8-month old. I just made this soup for him last week and OMG, he devoured a whole bowl of soup (baby-sized bowl of course!). He loved the dumplings but be careful when you make them… […]
Chicken Sour Soup
I don’t know where you live but around here we’ve had a very wintery winter, it’s probably the coldest one since I moved to Canada about 8 years ago; so maternity leave (and not having to go out every day) could not have come at a better time. At -25°C the only thing I need […]
Country-Style Pork Soup (Ciorba Taraneasca)

I have so many […]

It takes several hours to cook the beef tripe (unless you have a pressure cooker) but it’s definitely worth the effort. It has a distinctive flavour and the beef tripe has a […]
Duck Noodle Soup
Let me introduce you to our Romanian nourishing and delicious duck noodle soup (borş) with lovage leaves (leuştean). You can use any kind of meat for this soup. I used duck because we’ve had enough chicken soups over the past months and we prefer vegetable-meat soups. Lovage leaves are used as a herb for flavouring […]
Potato Stew with Chicken and Garlic
I didn’t used to be a big fan of potato stew until I discovered this recipe with garlic. Everyone in my family used to make it with onions instead of garlic. One day during my high school years, I visited a friend of mine and her mom was making potato stew… it smelled (and tasted) […]
