Hello again! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. But now I'm back, and I wanted to share with you my roast chicken.

(Really) Slow Cooked Pork

January 19, 2021 martaLeave a comment

Hello again! This week in "Using meat I have in the freezer and is about to go bad", we had a huge piece of pork loin. Loin can be a bit tricky to cook, because it can come out very tough and dry, very easily. We took a piece and cut it into very thin… Continue reading (Really) Slow Cooked Pork

Everyone’s Favourite Quiche

December 17, 2020 martaLeave a comment

Hi again! So this week my boss asked me to make her a quiche (and I love to help out with cooking). It's a little arrangement we have: when someone comes over, or she just doesn't feel like cooking but also doesn't want to have pre-made food, I make her a quiche. Over time, I… Continue reading Everyone’s Favourite Quiche

Hi again! I'm sorry for disappearing last week. But this week I come back with a bang - my go-to, stress-free, no-brainer chicken in a mushroom creamy sauce!

Hi again! This week I was feeling rather uninspired, but still wanted to make something tasty and, most of all, easy. So i whipped up these banana peanut rings - literally take 20 minutes to make, and you should have pretty much everything lying around your kitchen.

Hi again! This week I thought of posting something a little different from the usual - that's right! FOOD!
