I have tremendous problems lately with motivation. It’s very hard to make myself to do anything… so I’m looking for meals that really don’t take too much time or more –God forbid– effort 0_o. Yes I know, it’s bad but… things like that just happens, …
Chix The Elegant Version
This recipe I got from my co-worker Magda, who sometimes writes for my Friends Recipes section. Her yummy yams still await translation 😉 sorry!!! In my permanent hunt for chix recipes I grab anything that looks/sounds good. This one was especially appealing, cos of the use of prosciutto ham along with thyme and parmesan cheese. As I got the last bit of directions from Magda, I managed to prepare it fast and effectively. It looks very elegant on the plate and I believe it’s a very good party dinner material. If you want to impress your MIL or soon to be MIL thats the good dish to do so. Easy, hard to f… up and very, very tasty!

Easy As Pie, The Apple Pie!!
For the last couple weeks I was tormented by visions of apple cake, pie or whatever but absolutely with apples. I know a good recipe for an apple cake but the baking tin dedicated for it won't fit to my beloved halogen oven. I had to look for a pie recipe cos the pie dish fits perfectly… Now when I think about it… I could make xmas apple pie… though wanted something moist and filled. I asked Uncle Google and after some changes and alterations as usual, I come up with the recipe for apple pie that I can call 85% diet. As it contains only brown sugar, no butter, margarine or oil, only greasing the tin. It doesn’t produce a humongous amount, then to make it last – you gotta eat less!! 0_o. One thing for sure, I have to find somewhere REAL vanilla extract…

Traditional Beetroot Soup
I was talking lately to my Mom about times when I was a kid and the foods I liked and vehemently hated. She told me something that was a big surprise to me – that I hated every red food. Meaning I couldn’t stand my beloved beetroots!! I remembered that I wasn’t a fan of tomato soup or cooked carrots but I didn't remember the time that I didn’t like either creamy side dish beetroots or the red borszcz (beetroot soup). It’s actually inconceivable for me. I love beets!!! 0_o. Even more remarkable that Cookies ate this soup for the first time last December 0_o. Additionally beets are rich source of antioxidants and minerals like: magnesium, potassium, sodium and vitamin C. They also contain BETAINE that is very important for your cardiovascular health, as it helps to keep your vessels in good condition. So conclusion is tasty, and healthy therefore, must eat 😉 Today I present a recipe for a very rich in flavor beetroot soup that I learned to make it from my Mom, who is beetroot food specialist. The soup has a wonderful red color, and smells of mayoran.
