I am sure most of you if not all, have heard about my country’s severe economic crisis and the harsh economic measurements the government has to put in force in order, at some point in the distant future, for the country to be able to go back on track. There has never been a point...

Pasta Alfredo with Jack Daniels Chicken
Three days without internet! Can you believe that? I couldn’t work on my blog, couldn’t visit my friend’s blogs and couldn’t send or receive e-mails. Now, if this had happened during the week, I would have no problem, since I have internet at my office, but during weekend, this sucks. Anyway, internet was finally connected...

Double Chocolate Tiramisù
As I was saying, Valentine’s Day tends to get very pricy and, between us, all market tries to exploit it as much as possible and in most cases at the expense of the consumers. So, and since many of us will be celebrating with our kids, I am giving you this kids friendly Tiramisù adapted from...

Lasagna with Spinach
I don’t know about where you live, but the weather here does a lot of tricks lately. Just until couple of days ago it was chilly and rainy. It seems like winter is refusing to give its place to spring. I don’t know how you feel, but I really want some spring flavor here. I...

Spaghetti al Roquefort
I made a discovery lately. A very important one. At least to me anyway. My son likes Roquefort. Can you believe that? My husband is a huge fan of this cheese. He adores it, literally. I, on the other hand, don’t like it, at all. You can imagine my surprise when my son tried from...

Homemade Ravioli Stuffed with Mushrooms and Apple

Spaghetti with Vegetables al Marsala
I had to think of something to cook for Saturday’s lunch. I didn’t want to do the usual stuff. I wanted something that involves veggies and wine. I don’t know why. I don’t drink wine. I only drink sangria. I love sangria, but I never drink wine or any other alcohol. Quite a nerd right?...

Orzo Milanese
During cold winter days, I always make something for my son to eat before he drinks his milk and go to bed. He does not want a full meal, but a light dish just before his bedtime. One of these choices I have is orzo Milanese. He likes it very much, is easy to prepare...

Carbonara with La Vache qui Rit
Do you remember as a child La vache qui rit? It was very yummy, especially when you spread it on warm bread. I loved it. This cheese is very alive also today. When I went to the s/m with my son, he begged me to buy it. At this point I have to say this;...
