Banana and Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients Instructions

This is a one-pot wonder. Everything gets baked on one tray and the chicken comes out juicy and succulent. I sometimes even add sausages, though they are not a must since you have the meat from the chicken. This Roast Lemon Chicken with Carrots and Potatoes Recipe is easy and put together in moments. The chicken gets stuffed with Lemons and...

When I need a refreshing drink I usually like to make it myself. I have been in soft drink territory before on this blog with the Sunny Morning Cocktail, but this recipe here is a bit different, even though both feature pomegranate syrup. It’s still somewhat sharp from the lemons, even though the pomegranate syrup (we buy it already made,...

The weekend is always a great time for baking, but when it comes to these Chocolate Chip Cookies, there will always be an excuse to make them. I call these Starbucks Chocolate Chip Cookies, simply because they are almost identical to those big, thick and chewy cookies you get in Starbucks (only these are fresh and homemade). These cookies are intensely...

When it gets cold and dark outside I often look for comfort inside the home, the kitchen especially. And I don’t need to tell anyone that when it comes to Chicken Pot Pie there is no better comfort food. But this is not the usual recipe. It’s my version of Creamy Chicken and Spinach Pot Pie Recipe that is creamy and...

At the beginning of the week I posted a Greek Baklava Recipe that we made recently. On the same day my friend Selma also baked a Cherry Strudel, which turned out to be very delicious. Since I had the making-of images from the baking session, I decided to post those images today.

Ajvar is a traditional food here in Bosnia, even though it is known throughout the region. It’s a chutney made out of red piquillo peppers (those intensely red and sweet Spanish peppers) and eggplant, both of which are roasted. This is usually used as a spread on bread, or alongside meat like chicken or steak. I love it, and it’s not...

When summer rolls around baking goes out of the window mostly. You simply don’t want to fiddle about in the kitchen or heat the oven. I’m personally more concentrated on making cold treats (more of which you will see in the upcoming posts), but this cake is the exception to the rule. It’s easy to make, uses fresh seasonal fruit and...

I recently bought Nigella Lawson’s book “How to be a Domestic Goddess – Baking and the art of comfort cooking”. It’s a really great cooking book, with many sweat treats but also savory baking options. I made her Mini Cheesecakes (modified the recipe just slightly, but it’s Nigella’s version). Since I made them in the middle of the night, I didn’t...

I recently purchased a doughnut baking mold, and ever since then I’m on the lookout for the perfect baked donuts recipes. I have made a couple, but this chocolate version is a real showstopper and indulgent treat. The recipe makes for 6 Donuts, which is conveniently the number of molds you get in the baking pan. It’s a better alternative then...
