I’ve had some cedar planks around since we bought our grill this summer and never used them. Today was nice and sunny so I thought this would be the perfect day for grilling and a good occasion to use those cedar planks to make grilled salmon (my husband’s favourite fish). These cedar plank-grilled salmon fillets […]
Filled Walnut Cookies
I have been looking for a cookie press like my mom used to have for so long. I found a walnut shell mold from House on the Hill, another mold from Golda’s Kitchen that you can place in the oven, but nothing like my mom’s cast iron mold. You can definitely use the other two […]

Country-Style Pork Soup (Ciorba Taraneasca)
We’re back from our three-week vacation in Romania… we had a super busy schedule but can’t complain. We spent some quality time with our family & friends and visited many beautiful places – Danube Delta surpassed all! I have truly missed cooking and blogging but I’m ready to come back :).

Grilled Lobster Tails Sandwich
I have to admit, lobster never really excited me much. Let’s face it—they’re not the most attractive creatures, resembling oversized sea bugs. But that all changed a few years ago while vacationing in Cuba. We took a boat ride, and one of the locals on board caught a few massive lobsters right from the ocean. […]
Turkey Breast with Herb Stuffing Wrapped in Bacon

Every time I get in a store with cookbooks I feel like a kid in the candy store. I could spend hours reading about food, analyzing recipes and admiring irresistible pictures. I […]
