Sometimes I need old school and homey

Sometimes I need old school and homey

Well, we are two different people, who got raised in two different traditions (and cultures) and we like different things. In the beginning I had to make a double effort to feed Cookies the way he got used to (thankfully his Mom liked a lot 

Antidepresant Muffins

Antidepresant Muffins

Well, I know I have been neglecting Magda Cooks terribly lately. I didn’t feel like moving my pinky. You can say keep calm and stop moaning, but there is time when too many problems overwhelm you and you just lose it. Thankfully I’m optimist by 

Delicious Side Dish

Delicious Side Dish

94 bread cheese fingers

I’m constantly harassed by Cookies for making rice, pots, or the infamous couscous (w/cucumbers) to accompany our dinners, that he is tired of it, dearly 0_o. The bitching about it, also annoyed me… dearly 0_o but made me also look deeper into food that accompanies meat and veggs. In The Mullen Household veggies are an absolute must, and there is no time that I don’t have a wide variety of veggies in the fridge and cupboards. I won’t be lecturing about how healthy it is, because we all know everything about it. But, but, but, veggies aren’t the main topic this time. actually some dietitian probably would try to lynch me for posting this recipe, but man…. this is so damn good. Nothing to eat often, maybe once every 6 or so months 0_o, Just worth waiting. I don’t know how many calories it has but definitely not as much as the infamous Snickers pie by Antony Worrall Thompson, but also full of bad carbs. So try it, enjoy it and forget it for at least half a year.

I made one attempt to go healthy and I used whole grain bread 😉 No worries thats just a patch for an open wound 0_o.

 
Stuffed Pepper Soup?

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 

Work food part 3

Work food part 3

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.

1st Anniversary of Magda Cooks

I just can’t believe how fast time flies… I just started blogging and now we have our 1st year behind us. I was thinking what to write about and while I was debating, I looked through my kitchen window and just knew my topic instantly. 

Magda’s Sweet & Sour Pork

Magda’s Sweet & Sour Pork

When Cookies told me he took pork chops of the freezer I was like… WTF loin cutlets AGAIN??? I thought I won’t manage another typical meal and I started thinking what to prepare… I looked at PINTEREST for some ideas and saw recipe for pork 

Beef-A-Roni

Beef-A-Roni

78 beeferoni

When I was kid, many MOONS ago, I enjoyed a lot of the Chef Boyardee products. I guess it added to my “mass”… HAHAHA, anyway, one day out of the blue I made for Magda a similar creation, of Beef-A-Roni… and its literally become one of her favorite meals. And its relatively easy and FAST to make… a key element in the Magda Cooks Project… lets do it!

Light Snack or Dessert

Light Snack or Dessert

  Probably I mention that Cookies often comes back very late from work and unfortunately he doesn’t believe into eating before he goes so his last meal is very late. And since one of the rules in The Mullen Household is to eat at least
