Egg Sandwich Spread

My mom gave me after Eastern /almost/ homemade eggs from our neighbours and they look and taste amazing. Normally, I don't buy everything bio, but with eggs I was always careful to buy bio eggs knowing that those chicken have somewhere probably and hopefully better life and wanted to support that. But still, the bio eggs from a shop were never that yellow and tasty like the eggs from our neighbours. Judge yourself, look at the egg spread that I prepared: 

Lentil Soup

I swear that this is the best soup you are ever going to eat! :) But little bit of history first. When we were moving my friend Jakub prepared the soup for us since we were not able to cook anything in the kitchen. It was so nice to have a hot bowl of soup with fresh bread and beer :) So I had to learn the recipe and now I want to share it also with you guys!!! After you try it out, your life will be suddenly defined as "before the lentil soup" and "after the lentil soup" :)) 

Ingredients

• 250g green lentils
• 3 carrots
• 6 middle sized potatoes
• 4 cloves of garlis
• 1 can of peeled tomatoes
• 1 big onion
• salt, pepper
• marjoram
• sweet paprika
• chilli
• butter + oil

Directions

Chop the onion and fry it in a big pan on hot oil and butter. Make sure that onion is getting almost brownish, then add the tomatoes. Cook for a while and add around 2 litres of water (depending how big is your pan). Put the lentils in and cook till the lentils are soft (I had green lentils and it took around 40min and I did not put them before in the water). Then add the carrots cut into small circles, let it cook for 10 minutes and add the potatoes and garlic. Flavour with salt and pepper, majoran and sweet paprika. I added also little bit of chilli cayenne (as we say at home: for little bit of kick :)) ). Wait couple of minutes, check if the potatoes and carrots are soft and you can serve your soup. Fits perfectly with beer!!! 

White Raddish Salad

We used to eat lot of white raddishes when we were kids, especially with bread and butter and it really reminds of my childhood. I rediscovered this vegetable and since I didnt have much time yesterday evening for cooking, it had to be quick salad. This one would be perfect as a side dish to a steak or any kind of meat. Very fresh and tasty!

Cauliflower soup with gorgonozola

Today, yet another soup for cold winter days! Again, it is pretty thick, but that's because we like it this way. You can control the thickness by adding more/less liquid. Very healthy, quick, simple and tasty! (as always :) )

Pumpkin and coconut soup

I am a huge fan of pumpkins and I am really enjoying their season right now! :) I already showed you my favourite recipe for butternutsquash soup but that is not the only way. This recipe is full of flavours and the soup smells great! Actually, not only smells, also tastes! 

Express Green Pea Soup

I promise you, this is going to be the fastest soup ever!!!! Probably it is not the most sophisticated recipe, but if you are craving for something warm AND tasty, and your fridge is empty, then this is the recipe for you (everyone has green peas in the freezer and pesto at home). 

Healthy crêpes

The last weekend was full of new recipes and meals. As you probably noticed, the spelt flour is recently very 'in' and everyone says it's supposed to be healthier than normal flour. So I bought one 1kg and here is my version of healthy crêpes: 

Crème de champignons

I dont know how about you but I love eating soups in winter, cold weather. And when I say soup I mean really thick cream. One of my favourite is crème de champignons which was our Saturday lunch and it was so good that I have to share my recipe with you! Also, you do not need to eat anything else, because it's really fulfiling! With these amounts you can have 2 main courses (quite big portion).

Banana Shake

I know that everyone knows how to prepare banana shake, but I have an upgraded version :) which tastes like heaven and you should definitely try it, even kid can prepare this! :) and as a plus, as there is no cow milk, its perfect also for people with lactose intolerance. Below mentioned amounts are sufficient for 2 people (2x 300ml).

Butternut Squash Soup

Winter is slowly approaching (although we have still wonderful indian summer) but the soup season is almost here! So I am going to show you my recipe for the most favourite soup at my home - butternut squash soup. It is probably less typical than pumpkin, but basically it is almost the same. It has yellow to beige skin and orange pulp and in case you are still not convinced - it is a great source of fibre, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium and potassium. My soup is quick, easy, delicous and even great for healthy eaters. 

Carrot salad

As you probably noticed, lately I have been baking a lot... and someone has to eat it of course... so I noticed that my belly started to grow dangerously and decided to make a healthy break :) Here is ony my healthy dinner recipes, tasty and very well seasoned carrot salad. This portion will be sufficient for 2-3 people (depending on how much are they hungry :) ).

New potatoes with champignons

Another inspiration for a fast and delicous vegetarian dinner, using the seasonal products. I love the time of new potatoes and this is one of recipes I like :) a lot!! :)

Coleslaw

Today, I am going to share with you my most favourite salad in fast-food chains and my reproduction of it :) I tried to make it healthy, but there of course you are free to add some mayonnaise instead of yoghurt :) If you have a food processor - use it! It will save you loads of time!

Guacamole

Today, I decided to share with you my jewel!! Guacamole!! And even a Colombian guy said, that my guacamole is better than what his mom is preparing! :) I have to share with you also a short history, how did I mastered this recipe. One day, I decided with my boyfriend to learn how to prepare guacamole. But there are so many different recipes on the internet, and we couldn't agree on one, so we made a competition out of it :) It ended quite good, just way too much of guacamole that night. But I guess we discovered the ingredients and their proportions and we still prepare it very often at home as a simple and quick dinner, because we LOVE it! :) This ingredients give you nice bowl of guacamole - enough for 2 people for dinner, or for more people just as snack. 

Couscous with zucchini and champignons

Hello guys, I am back after short break with one of my most favourite recipes - couscous! I discovered couscous recently, I never knew any good recipes and one day I decided to change it! I was researching and researching on the internet till I finally came up with something, that could possibly work. And it did :) ! It is not super quick, as you would expect from couscous recipe, but definitely worth the time invested (count around 40-45min). With the ingredients, you will have enough for 4 people. 

Spinach and cheese muffins

Today I am going to show you how to prepare salty muffins! Recently I was preparing couple of meals for a birthday party. I had chosen something sweet and I needed also something salty and wanted to use my muffin pan. Thats how I started to research salty variations of muffins and there are so many of them. I chose the one with spinach and 3 (!!!) kinds of cheese - what can go wrong there? :) It is very easy and delicious! 

Tortilla de patatas

I love tortilla de patatas (even more after visiting Barcelona) and I was thinking, it can't be that difficult to cook it at home! So I started to search the recipes and of course, as always, there were thousands of them on the internet. So I created a combination, which surprisingly worked really well and we finished the tortilla in 2 days!! (2 people!). Try it, is really easy and tasty!! You will need a round frying pan which can stay in the oven (with metallic handle).
