Hi there! Today I am taking a break and let Pawel show off his skills 🙂 Zapiekanki (or mushroom & cheese melts) are one of his favorite dishes that he prepares for us when we crave comfort food or just want to indulge. Or when we don’t have much time to cook. Enjoy! ~Monika

When Christmas is so close I start to feel the pressure. Pressure that everything has to be perfect. When I say perfect I don’t mean “pretty”, “colorful”, “ideal”. Anything like that. For me it means it has to be as if we never left home and this “perfect” starts with food. You know, the 12 […]
It happened already a few times – I lost ALL my data. Either my hard disk just died on me, I forgot to save something, or kept things on multiple devices in multiple locations, which is not good either. I’ve learned my lesson and now I back up my stuff and click save frequently […]
Thanksgiving is over and almost forgotten as we start thinking about and preparing for Christmas. You can smell it all over the internet! At our house Christmas menu is pretty set. Twelve dishes total need to be prepared and you know, there is not much space left for something new. However these dishes are only […]
Another week just passed by. Fast. Too fast. I have million things to do and if the time continues to pass with such speed I’ll never finish my ‘to do’ list!

Eryk refuses to nap on his own recently and as a result I found myself with some mandatory downtime. This is a roundup of where […]
I like eating potatoes. I really do. They’re my ultimate comfort food and my quiet indulgence. Just think about it – is there any other food that undergoes similar transformation during cooking as potato does? It goes from unattractive, to say the least, covered with dirt bulb to golden, crispy fries, silky smooth mashed potatoes, […]
It was scary, it was spooky and now it is over. Many of you grew up with the Halloween madness but for me it is entirely new experience. We moved to US in 2009 and didn’t celebrate until few years later. I can’t really say we celebrate now but we do try to participate […]
Few days ago Environmental Working Group released Food Scores Rate Your Plate app. If you do a quick internet search you’ll find many apps and website that claim to help you eat better, loose weight and feel younger. I am sure that many of them are useful and provide good information but for most part I am […]
Apple cakes remind me of my Grandma who made the best apple cake ever. I remember how lovely our house smelled when it was baking in the oven and how quickly it disappeared. Quite often the cake didn’t even make it from the pan to the serving […]
