We all have evenings when we just don’t want to stay too much in the kitchen, but we also want the food to be delicious. So last evening it was something like that. What did I do? Baked a few potatoes, grilled a fish and voila! Dinner is served!

Pasta salad
Sometimes you just don’t want to eat meat, but still want to enjoy the meal. This salad provides you with all the required macro-nutrients you need in a balanced and full of flavors lunch meal. Enjoy!
Mediterranean rabbit stew
Searching for a light lunch choice? Check out this rabbit stew recipe that I prepared while thinking of a warm summer day on a Mediterranean beach. The ingredients I chose are, to be honest, the best combination I could pull out while using only the items provided by my fridge, […]
Pressure cooker beef stew pasta
Lately I figured out I really like pasta and that I should explore more recipes. I usually use minced meat for bolognese style or have my way with the carbonara recipe, but I think I stayed too enclosed between these two recipes for far too long and haven’t really put […]

Fried eggs and cottage cheese spinach
“Popeye the Sailor man” is definitely the inspiration for this one 🙂 Best part is that you can prepare this recipe for a consistent breakfast or for a take-away lunch, it’s equally delicious and nutritious. I love the cherry tomatoes, specially the multicolored ones. They provide different taste nuances and […]
Mushrooms and chicken stew with polenta
I noticed that after days of experimenting in the kitchen, I always find myself going back to the roots, to the comfort foods that I enjoyed in my childhood. This one is a classic Romanian dish, but this variation comes with a low fat intake.
