The stuffed bell peppers is an easy-to-make, delicious and impressive dish that can be served on special occasions. It is super colorful so will look stunning on your dining table. Everyone will love them, and I am sure people will ask you to make them again and again. (They may think it is super difficult to make the stuffed peppers, but don’t tell the truth, shhh!)
Once you try this baked teriyaki salmon, I am sure you will come back to it again and again. It is a super easy-to-make 5-minute baked salmon recipe, where the salmon turns out both sweet, salty and savory. A perfect mix of flavors in one dish!
The spinach bacon quiche is a very quick-to-make dish. It is basically just mixing the ingredients and giving them some time to cook. Not only it turns out beautiful, it is extremely delicious, too!
I wish you could feel the lovely texture of this creamy sun-dried tomato pasta. With only a couple of ingredients you will make such a beautiful and tasty dish that will be your dinner or lunch saver! There is no doubt you will love this pasta recipe, and once you try it, you will make it for quite some time. Want to bet? 🙂
Everyone loves rice noodles, I am sure you do, too! If shrimps come together, it’s even better, right? And because we all love stir fry food (who doesn’t?!), this rice noodles with shrimps recipe is just as right. Any shrimp will work here, the only thing to keep in mind is their cooking time, the rest is just a fun trip.
The tofu coconut curry is all about spices. The list of them may seem long, but each and every of them plays an important role in getting THAT flavor. When people ask me what I bring from Lithuania, one of the most important things on my list is…. SPICES! We do have a lot, and all and any can be bought by weight. I load my luggage with sooo many different varieties, so I know I can make this tofu curry or any other dish anytime. How do you get along with spices? Let me know in the comments below!
I can’t wait for the ding of the oven that I am at the dining table with my fork ready for a bite of eggplant parmigiana. This easy eggplant parmesan dish speaks for itself: super tender, full of beautiful texture and flavors. The secret in getting the most delicious eggplant parmigiana is…. fried eggplant. Oh yessss, I hope it’s your cheat day today, if not, let’s keep any diet aside for a moment (we can get back on the track tomorrow). Deal?
Looking for the last minute meal idea? I’ve got the solution! Here comes the honey mustard salmon, a super quick, easy and perfect dish for busy days. Let me promise one thing: it looks great, but it tastes even better! Even more, it is a great nutritious option when you are in a pinch to get dinner going. Oh, and before I forget, it is loved by kids, too so you don’t need to go crazy thinking of multiple dinner options!
I am still wondering if there is any better match than salmon and zucchini. The creamy salmon pasta has more than that: creamy texture, salmon freshness, zucchini tenderness. All in one and the same dish! See, you don’t need to have Michelin star to look professional in the kitchen. Oh and I almost forgot: if you make this dish for your date night, s/he will get straight into your heart 🙂
The potato gnocchi or ricotta gnocchi is a great idea for lunch (definitely one of the best Italian recipes when you need an easy recipe!). The gnocchi are so popular among Italian families as they are so quick to prepare. What is great about this recipe is that you can make a bigger quantity of gnocchi and put them to freeze. You may need to add some more flour in between the gnocchi, as otherwise they may stick together and it will be hard to get them apart.
The cold beetroot soup (beet soup or saltibarsciai) is definitely my favourite among all the non-Italian recipes, and so easy to make! This soup is really refreshing, especially in a hot summer day. And you know what? The soup is really at its best flavor if eaten with boiled eggs and baked potatoes (I will soon share the recipe of the best roasted potatoes).
As you may know already, risotto is a dish where the rice instead of being boiled, is actually cooked in a pan. I first tried this risotto with mushrooms recipe when I was visiting Milan, and I simply felt in love with it! I love any kind of mushrooms, and use it quite much, even making other Italian recipes (follow me on social, and you will be the first to find them out!) 🙂
The Baked Salmon Fillet can be made in many different ways. I love this one so much not just because it is one of the most used and best Italian recipes when it comes to salmon, but I know that I can add anything else on top that I have in fridge and it will still result amazing!
The beet salad with feta is so quick to make: all you have to do is to simply cut the ingredients and put them together. Note that I never mix them together, I will rather put the grated beetroot to the plate and the rest of the ingredients on the top. You may also use your favorite spices! However, I usually use just salt and pepper as I love to keep it simple as it is full of flavors and adding spices may hide them.
The roasted figs with sausage pears and feta is a super easy to make dish. What I love about it, is the mix of flavors. The figs are sweet yet a bit sour, the pears are sweet and give freshness to the dish. The sausage instead is salty! And finally, it is some feta that I put on top once I turn off the heat that adds even more flavor!
You may want to make this butternut squash soup without potatoes. Be ensured that you will still have a very tasty soup at the end! I like adding some potatoes as they make the consistence dense. If you prefer to make the soup with squash only, the result will be amazing.
When I tried the first bite of the orange chicken, I was really speachless! I did not expect the chicken to still stay so crunchy when mixed with the sause. And the flavor! Oh the chicken is salty and the sauce is both sweet and sour. It is the best mix of ingredients, trust me!
The red pesto is a super quick to make sauce. It can be a great option for an easy-to-make and simple lunch. When working full time, there is not a lot of time left for cooking your lunch. This is why I love to have some homemade pesto in my fridge. All I need to do then, is to make some pasta, and the one I love most with the pesto is spaghetti. I will soon share a great spaghetti with pesto rosso recipe. I till have a secret ingredient, so make sure to follow me on social to be the first to find it out!
What is the first dish that comes to your mind thinking of asparagus? Boiled? Roasted? Steamed? What about roasted asparagus with Parmesan, aka asparagus with eggs (poached!)? Ahh definitely one of my favorites! It is so fresh, so quick to make, so colorful and so so so delicious. Even better if you have local farmer eggs (the “0” ones) as we want poached eggs here. Great for brunch, even better for lunch, this asparagus with poached eggs will be loved by everyone!
Making the honey mustard chicken means being so impatient! Not because it takes time to make it, not at all! It’s because of the smell all over the kitchen! Oh and the taste! You will love the sweet and savory flavor that the glaze gives to the dish.
I couldn’t say if the Ukrainian cabbage rolls is the national dish of the country (if you know the answer or more of their story, let me know in the comments!), yet I am sure if they had to compete, they would definitely be on top of the stage. So what is so special about the flavor of these stuffed cabbage rolls, especially considering their simple and inexpensive ingredients? It is all about juicy meat, cabbage and carrot flavor, and of course the sauce!
