First of all I would like to inform you that I won’t be doing any “Pinterest challenge” posts anymore (Booo! I know!). I feel like I have been doing this for ages (4 and half years to be more specific) and I felt these lack of creativity on my part. Yes, I have learned a […]

Pinterest challenge: apple and butternut squash soup
So the soup season is continuing here and I am trying to explore more and more flavours to stock up with (for the freezer). I find these soup portions very handy for lunches (super kid friendly too!!). Apple and butternut squash seemed like a great match, was very eager to go and try it out […]
Pinterest challenge: broccoli, cumin and yogurt soup
So the chill is on and I thought to better start the soup season (well… I have started it a while ago actually). Joni cooked this soup last year for Lukas dedication and I have been revisiting it ever since. Its my favourite soup at this moment! Whats not to like, its flavoursome (sorry to […]
Pinterest challenge: savoury waffles with blue cheese and bacon
Lately we have been very tired. One moment I thought we were handling our lot as parents of two really well, the next day I feel like I am back at square one. Tomas is going through a bad sleep patch (hope thats temporary) and I for the first time ever have got a painful back. At […]
Pinterest challenge: sweet potato and chickpea moroccan style stew
I have made this vegetarian stew before (technically Joni made it since I was not up for cooking that day) and I fell in love with it. Its full of contrasting flavour, not much prep and it’s very easy to serve to babies. I made it again few days ago and it was as before […]
Pinterest challenge: easy baked Gnocchi with mozzarella and tomatoes
I will be honest, it’s not our favourite meal I ever made but it is sure easy! I found it too tomatoey and Joni thought it was too plain (maybe bacon would sort it out!). But if you are fan of something basic and loaded with mozzarella cheese I think this dish might be for […]
Pinterest challenge: chicken peanut curry
So here I am on the hunt for family recipes. Something simple, quick and mild! So even Lukas could eat it. I decided if I make a folder of recipes than it will be even easer to plan our meals and do Tesco order in lightning speed (well…not really, but still). I chose this chicken […]
Pinterest challenge: raw berry burst cheesecake
We called this a fake cheesecake as it actually has no cheese (or any other dairy)! But to my surprise it tasted very cheesecake like and they were quite addictive. I made them for friends get together and by the end of it it was all gone! I adjusted the recipe a little bit to […]
Pinterest challenge: paprika chicken & spinach with white wine butter sauce
Since our new arrival is due in the moment, I started to think of simple recipes for dinners to come. You know, the ones does not require slow cooking or lots of preparation. The recipe that I found on The Kitchen Paper have promised it all! This chicken was definitely the quickest dinner I have […]
Pinterest challenge: brown butter peach ice cream cake
I have not done Pinterest challenge for a while now and since I was experimenting with ice cream lately, I thought I will try to make another form of ice cream – cake. Last weekend we went to friend’s B&Q, so ice cream cake was quite appropriate! I came across this recipe and I was […]
Pinterest challenge: chilled cucumber soup
Although it went chilly outside, I have been craving for refreshing foods such as salads or chilled soups like this one. Chilled soups aren’t common in England but because I am Lithuanian I am quite familiar with it. My favourite was chilled beetroot soup until I came across chilled cucumber soup here on this adorable blog! I […]
Pinterest challenge: Chickpea flour cookies (not gluten free)
Hey everyone and welcome to my Pinterest challenge! Have not had one for a while so I though I will do it today. I picked this recipe for few reasons. One was that I had some chickpea flour left in my cupboard. I was experimenting with different flours to make a gluten free brownie while […]
Pinterest challenge: spanakopita mini tarts
This time round on my weekly Pinterest challenge I have decided to have a look at the pins that I liked long time ago. In fact I went back to the pin that I saved when I just joined Pinterest almost three years! This recipe is cool, because it needs filo pastry, which I don’t […]
Pinterest challenge: curry grilled vegetables with creamy polenta
The main reason for trying out this recipe is because I have never cooked with the polenta. Ok I did bake or made porridge with it in the past but having polenta for dinner never crossed my mind (especially the creamy type). The outcome? Even though I forgot to add chickpeas, it turned out to […]
Pinterest challenge: chicken avocado soup
I love broth soups! I made one couple of weeks ago that I used to often make. This one is different though (one of the reasons for choosing for today’s challenge)! The broth is poured over rather than used as a base for the soup. This is why it tastes soooo fresh as some ingredients […]
