My own marinade recipe

My own marinade recipe

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

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 

Cookies Shepherd’s Pie

Cookies Shepherds Pie

Shepherd's Pie

Sort of Meat Pie but with Potatoes. You could easily make this with pastry crust and it would be like a ground beef pot pie… sort of. Anyway, we like a lot of vegetables and I try to utilise as many as I can, when I am called upon to do the “dirty” no, not that, NOR, washing the dishes… but when Magda Cooks, doesn't cook and Cookies gets to cook. More like IS MADE too, but I like too as well, as generally, by rule, I do stuff she does not. Henceforth, good.

Todays recipe is an easy one, not much goes into this, and can be done a number of different ways actually. I will present to you, the way I do it, but I will also try to show you some alternatives too. Basically its potatoes with mixed vegetables, and a gravy sauce from ground beef. Sounds easy? Well, guess what IT IS.

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 

Persian style chicken

Yeah another “TAKE THE CHIX OUT BABES!” meal. But completely different than what I’ve made until now. My constant search for chicken recipes never ends. Though very often I threaten Cookies with his all time favourite meal GRILLED CHIX 😛 buaaahahaha you need to see 

New Years Resolution

New Years Resolution

New Year Resolution

I’m sure you noticed that lately I didn’t post too much. Not that I didn’t cook and make pictures. I just didn’t feel good lately and the writing needs some inspiration which I lacked tremendously
(yes, one of my favourite words, for some unknown reason).

And since today is New Years I’ve made a resolution: I will write more and regularly and will do a lot of other crap that I probably won’t 0_o, but definitely I will do my best in writing new cooking posts and keep my blog alive.

I’ll start with TAKE THE CHIX OUT, BABES! in cranberry sauce which is as always in my kitchen – easy and tasty! I believe it’s a billionth recipe to make chicken breast eatable and not too “undiet”. I found this recipe on Disney branded site

My 2nd Contribution to Magda Cooks By: The Infamous “Cookies” Recipe : Sour (Pickled) Cucumber Soup Cookies again —-> IN. On occasion we collaborate on a meal. Depends on various factors, like time, and day, but, its usually SOUPS or something that requires a LOT of

Childhood pleasure

Childhood pleasure

Childhood pleasure

I believe everyone of us have a dish that has it’s origins in our childhood. Something that you loved at 6 years old and love the same way now. For me it is a vegetarian meal, that my fathers grandmother brought from her home town Poznan. It’s easy, it’s cheap and it’s filling. And the biggest pleasure is, you can eat it with your hands 😉 I don’t know why but I like to eat with my hands and this is the meal I can do it legitimately without looking for a lame excuse 0_o.

This time I’m not going to give you the amount of ingredients cos as you will notice it’s easily  adjustable for the amount of people. Remember one thing it’s extremely filling, I’m usually able to eat 3 medium potatoes 0_o.

I remember when I served my beloved potatoes and cream cheese for one of our first meals with Cookies… damn jackass was bitching and moaning and didn’t even want to try it traditional way and being a dick, he wanted to change everything without even trying… he pissed me off so bad I started screaming at him and tossing hot potatoes… that was the first time I threw hot food at him 0_o Now he eats it how I make, though I nicely ask if he will be able to digest cheese with chives 😉 I learned and he did to 0_o.

Ingredients:
potatoes
cream cheese
natural yogurt
salt. pepper
and any veggie you want to see in the cheese, like radishes, colorful pepper, onion, chives green cucumber etc. only one condition – it can’t be sweet. needs to be salty and spicy 😉
butter or margarine if you please

Preparations and serving
With this meal serving is as important as preparations ;-). Boil potatoes with skin until soft. While it’s cooking prepare cream cheese. In a bowl mix cheese with some yogurt to make cheese looser and more moist. Spice with salt and pepper to taste. Cube tiny other veggies you choose, mix thoroughly and set aside. Prepare table – put salt and butter, then pot with hot potatoes and bowl with cheese. Give everyone a plate and a knife and EAT ;-). All who likes this dish has their own technique. I like to peel potatoes while very hot, slice thick, salt a little bit, toss scrap of butter and then in the end big splash of veggie cream cheese – then by hand to mouth, DAMN IT’S GOOOOOD ;-). Remember it’s filling!

Until next time, take care of yourself and each other

P.S. Cookies just said at least no flying potatoes this time 0_o – whiny bitch hahahaha
