I really love the idea of homemade granola. Once you’ve tried making your own, it’s hard to go back to the bags of cereal sitting on the supermarket shelves. 😀 Personally, I don’t really get along with store-bought cereal or muesli. I never seem to find a combination I actually […]
I love papanasi. I really do. 😁 But while I’ve always been more of a fan of the fried ones, loaded with sour cream and jam, this time I decided to give the boiled version a try. The idea came after a friend challenged me to make boiled papanasi. I […]
I’ve been meaning to try making some snacks that I could take with me after the gym, but I kept putting it off because I was always missing the main ingredient: dates. Or, when I did have some, *le husband would eat them before I had a chance to actually make anything […]
I had something sweet in mind, something a little lighter to enjoy after the gym, but in the end, the sour cream and jam won me over 😀. And that’s how these mini ricotta doughnuts came about. To me, they’re like smaller, more delicate cousins of the traditional Romanian papanasi. […]

I can’t say quince has ever been one of my favorite fruits. 😁 I love the way it smells, and to me it officially announces the arrival of fall, but if I had to choose between a quince and… pretty much any other fruit, I’d probably pick the other fruit. […]

After 20 years in the IT industry, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d rather write an SQL query than scroll through clothing websites, and a night of online gaming easily beats a night out at a club.
