This is such a savory recipe with a moist and flavourful stuffing. I found the recipe on mushrooms.ca but I’ve modified it slightly by adjusting the ingredients to my taste (more mushrooms of course!) and adding white wine. Here’s the original recipe. We served it with mashed potatoes and my amazing Beet Salad. Time: 55 […]
Beet Salad
This is a recipe I know from my parents. It was one of our favourite salads in my family but to my disappointment, hubby doesn’t like beets too much. I love this salad for its delicious taste but I’m also impressed with the many health benefits associated with beets. Red beets are high in carbohydrates […]
Apple Strudel
Apple strudel reminds me of my childhood and the sweet shops from back home that I mentioned in my post on Chocolate Sponge Cake (Amandine). It’s one of my favourite desserts but, believe it or no, this is the first time I am baking strudel at home. Although it’s quite popular in Romania, this dessert […]
Creamed Spinach
Spring is upon us and this is the best time to harvest and eat Nettle. Yes, nettles, those plants covered with tiny stinging hairs that produce an intense, stinging pain… ouch! Creamed nettles are a very popular and healthy dish during spring time in Romania. Nettles have the richest taste and are full of vitamins […]
Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Tomato Sauce
I made this about two weeks ago but did not get a chance to post the recipe until now. We’ve been busy looking for and buying our first home… it was such a great and exciting experience! On top of that I’ve been studying for an exam, so I had almost no time to cook […]
Ground Beef & Pork Lasagna (my best lasagna so far)
Another great recipe from the Italian cuisine… although I must admit this version of Lasagna is more delicious than my other recipe for Lasagna with Chicken and Mushrooms. At least hubby was much more impressed with this one :). It’s not exactly the traditional Italian recipe as I’ve decided to combine ground beef and pork […]
Baked Pears on Puff Pastry
This is a quick and easy dessert or snack to serve anytime of the day. Pear halves are stuffed with chocolate and then baked on puff pastry. Mmmm, they turned out so good… just writing about this recipe is making my mouth water. You can make it with apples as well and maybe sprinkle some […]
Country-Style Baked Potatoes
This is a very simple dish with a great taste that can be served either as a main course or as a side dish. I know this recipe is about baking potatoes but, the key ingredient that makes this dish so delicious is the smoked bacon added to the sauce that is mixed with the […]
Strawberry Crème Fraîche Cheesecake
This is a no-bake Strawberry Crème Fraîche Cheesecake that just makes your mouth water. It only takes 20 minutes to prepare and even if you are a beginner cook, you can master this recipe in just a few minutes. Time: 20 min, Prep: 20 min + chilling time Servings: 12-14
