Chix Cookies Way

Chix Cookies Way

I remember when Cookies made this dish first time… it was our 2nd anniversary and he said it will be something special. He didn't let me come to the kitchen and just peek at what are we eating. I only knew it will be chix.

  Well, Cookies never was subtle, and this time he used friends on FB to poke me in the eye and make me write another post. And yeah, he succeeded 0_o. So, couple weeks ago, we were entertaining in the Burrow, yeah since we moved 

The Hottest Day  0_o

The Hottest Day 0_o

89 strawberry ice cream

Well, today is the hottest day this summer and I surely hope the last one. I just simply despise heat! I wanted to cool down so much I couldn’t find myself a place until I got home 😛 Yes, we invested into AC, few months before and I’m damn happy! 36C (97F) outside and a nice mellow 21C (70F) inside!!! When the heat pours so strong from the sky, I can only think about ice cream… My favourite is Big Milk from Algida… cos it reminds me of my childhood favourite BAMBINO – mmmmhhh vanilla cream… But but but… no creamy ice cream from the store cos they contain tons of white sugar, which really I try to avoid. Some time ago, I posted awesome goey diet banana ice cream… couldn't believe it was so tasty and so guilt free… This time I didn't have bananas, so I raided my freezer and I found a pound bag of frozen strawberries… yummy! I thought and left if for 20 minutes on the counter. Did some boring chores, like loading washer and re-arranging pantry shelves then came back and just made my huge portion of cold strawberry delight.

 

Never Boring Stuffing…

Never Boring Stuffing…

I believe I’ve mentioned a couple times how much I like stuffing meat… Today I wanted to share with you recipe that has neverending possibility to evolve in texture and flavour. And it was my first stuffed meat dish I prepared out of sheer boredom

Even if Poland is sea country, we don’t have salmons in Baltic sea which makes the price actually little overwhelming. So when I buy it, it’s either a special occasion or good promotion in one of my favourite stores 😉 This time it was the 

Stuffed Pepper Soup?

Stuffed Pepper Soup?

86 Stuffed Pepper Soup

When Cookies made this dish for me the first time I was like wtf? Stuffed peppers I understand but as a soup? How the hell is he doing it to make it a soup? Then he served it and I found my second, okay third favourite soup. For most of you it would be probably one pot meal not a soup cos it’s very thick and filling but oh well, it’s considered a soup 0_o.

I know it’s the middle of the summer and this kind of food is good more for cold fall/winter dinners but I thoroughly enjoy it and decided the weather doesn’t matter :-). And you can’t overplay the fact, that it’s the only meal that the brown rice in it, is actually edible 0_o

Chocoholic Heaven

Chocoholic Heaven

I remember I confessed that I’m a chocoholic in one of my older posts (Moment of Truth), since that moment I tried to withdraw but it’s harder than anything ;-). Okay, I didn’t try that hard :P. So when Cookies told me about Reese's Peanut

I can’t believe that I still manage to continue my no (or low) carbs way of eating. Thankfully some of the people at work help to keep me in line. So a couple days ago one of my young colleagues offered to share her lunch 

Light Dinner For A Hot Summer

Light Dinner For A Hot Summer

85 sesame chicken salad

I don’t know if I ever mentioned this, but I despise heat. As much as I don’t like wearing heavy jackets and scarves with caps I hate summer more. The high temperature makes my brain cook and stop working (Cookies no doubt would say, that’s nothing new Woman!). So the heat started and I’m completely not in the mood to cook or actually do anything else 0_o. You probably noticed I didn't post anything for last few weeks. It was caused by the weather here that happened to not cooperate and since I'm working in the weather bound business it caused me to work 12h shifts also problems with Mr Dog makes me get up at 4:30am everyday… I just couldn't simply make myself to write a few coherent words, hell I couldn't say few coherent words to Cookies – which he was exploiting unmercifully.

Today was actually the first time when I came back home at normal time and could attend to some of my chores. Since it’s very hot outside I was leaning for something that was filling but light at the same time. And I wanted to torment Cookies a little bit I decided on salad. Looked into the freezer to check what can I use and of course the first thing was CHIX, BABY! I could just simply grill chicken and arrange it, but I knew he will be moaning loud if I do… I was looking at my pantry shelves thinking what to use… cranberry? naaah, nuts? nahhh oh maybe some sesame seeds! Its very easy way to prepare nice and crunchy chix.

Delirium Dinner

Delirium Dinner

So, I’m on my second week of “vacation” meaning I’m not “working”, but leave it to Cookies, he will find 43 billion things to do just at this right moment. Pity, I caught a cold in the end of my first week of “vacation” and
