Hello everyone, The 4th of July is around the corner and its hard to imagine celebrating this holiday without grilling. The smell of open fire, laugh, and jokes, ice-cold drinks, fresh fruits, kids getting away with not listening, parents letting themselves just be and just enjoy. That is the recipe for an incredible 4th of July celebration menu. Those who are fasting please rejoice! Although we are not allowed fish on Wednesdays, there are still plenty of mouthwatering recipes…
Hello everyone, Father’s Day is around the corner and the majority of us are going to kick back, relax, do some BBQ in the backyard with family and friends, some beer, some watermelons and ice-cream for kids and yes maybe more beer… It’s so hot outside that having any other stronger versions of alcohol sounds unreasonable. Although beer is labeled as a men’s drink, some ladies, like Angela Merkel and those who can’t pair certain food with any other drink…
Hello everyone, Little things matter. Have you ever thought of that in a profound way? We all know this expression and we all know yes indeed little things matter, but sometimes you encounter a brilliant example that astounds you.

It is Mother’s Day, man! If you did not get your reservation for a usual take-my-mom-out -dinner yet,…

Hello everyone, How about meatballs for dinner? Juicy and a little bit spicy, resting atop of Sicilian tomato sauce and a heartwarming pile of spaghetti, basil leaves scattered on top. Yes please, and can I have seconds? Wait, what? Meatballs? Yes, vegetarian meatballs with lentil base but you will never guess they are meatless! It’s unbelievable how tasty they are and it’s the greatest way to use lentil to stay in a healthy mode.
Hello everyone, This post is the third version of “Oatmeal mushroom patties” that I am desperately trying to deliver to you guys. This is the first time I could not find energy within me and right words for the post and, frankly, I am surprised.
Hello everyone, We, Orthodox Christians, have just started our Great Lent and we are going to do our best to pray, to repent and to fix our weaknesses. Abstinence from meat, eggs and dairy products cleans our body and helps us to move into “slow down mode” during which we can try to do a spring-cleaning of our souls. Regarding food abstinence, the beginning of the Lent is tough because our body is trying to adjust to a new diet and I…
